Potentially for sale or trade

I will entertain cash offers, but what I am really looking for is a Shepard Fairey AK47 vs. M16 HPM.

Josh Keyes
Sleep #4
12" X 12"
Acrylic on Birch Wood Panel



.....Signed Banksy prints would also be entertained

[scavos]

Love that!

[thwaites]

pms sent!

[arcam]

Are these paintings?

[scavos]

Yes, paintings. Funny you ask that because when I first saw his work I wondered exactly the same thing. Check out his site which gives some more insight into what he's about.

Difficult one that but it ain't cheap fella.
I keep going back to his site to check out his paintings and honestly can't believe how good they are. I can't put my finger on it yet but they just connect with me. He's hot as fook in USA apparently.

Did you know Polar Bears are actually black but have white fur.

It's notitle (as well as me) who really wants this and i'm not sure that half of it has the same impact! He would be most sad!

[scavos]

No but I know their home is melting rapidly. I suspect Josh's tic toc is a nod to that fact. Sorry if that's stating the bleeding obvious.
Any other polar bear facts? What was that one in the Lost series all about? (I haven't watched the 3rd series yet so don't spoil it for me!) ;D

I'll be honest when I first saw his work it didn't jump out at me. But some pieces are growing on me. I think I just need to see it.

[ricosg11]

wow pm sent

[thwaites]

[arcam]

What's wrong?

[thwaites]

heh, i am just sad other people want it! It is a beauty so am not surprised!

Will just have to wait and see

[arcam]

I'd love to see what it looks like in the flesh.

[scavos]

Me too.

[meatbag]

his most recent show was by far his best work. I'm definitely looking forward to owning one something by Josh one day.

[smartussi]

Wow!

I have alot of PM's to go through...I didn't realize this painting would draw so much attention

I will do my best to write back to everyone and get all the offers sorted out tonight.

[melmoth]

Just fantastic. Don't have what you want in return, but wow.

[arcam]

I've found a great video where Jose explains the pieces including the one above.....I'm intrigued now.. ;D

Wow.

That is seriously making me reconsider this sale...I didn't know this piece is part of a body of work that meant so much to him

[rkitek]

Out of curiosity, why are you thinking of selling it?

[jam]

PM sent smartussi... cash in hand and no delays if I can have it!

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

Hot Damn! I can't believe you're selling that - keep it - don't trade it for a Shep piece - are you nuts!

Well - if it were in my hands I'd not be letting that go!

Seriously - that's one of my favorite Keyes pieces. I trust it will go to a good home.....best of luck.

Yup - their fur is translucent not white and if you ate a polar bears liver you would die from vitamin A poisoning...

AND my Tic Tic print (poor cousin - I tried to get a canvas but they sold in about A MINUTE!!!) is arriving soon...

Current market value of it? I've been searching for a Keyes original for a long time now, and his prices are rising faster than any other artist I know of. I'd be surprised if a 12x12 original sold for anything less than 8,000 US.

I have been a big fan of Josh Keyes for some months, I think his work is beautiful. But I cant understand where you plucked that $8k figure from. Only a few weeks back i could have bought a 12x12 CCTV for around $900 & Tic Toc which is much larger went for $2000 .
