As my quest for a Neate white self portrait continues, Im left with no option but to sell a few of my more desirable pieces in order to raise the high funds needed in order to get one. This is a very sad but neccesary day for me but im offering up my Stop & Search up for sale to a fellow forum member. Please refrain from negging me as this is the only way im gonna be able to get the Neate, Along with the sale of a few other bits. This is not being sold for any other reason than to fund another purchase.
Interested, Pm me with a sensible offer.
Full provenence and in mint condition...........

An opinion of which your entitled to mate, Im lucky enough to have a few Banksys but yet to get a Neate, I love his work and for me his red & white self portraits are the "Holy Grail".

yeah i suppose if you have a few banksy prints its worth getting something different. I think i just prefer the banksy stuff. I think when you look at a banksy you think of the story behind the print and the man himself and just think wow. I dont get that with neate, but think thats just the style - not really into that sort of stuff.

Well obviouly i want the best price possible as its all going in the Neate pot, Think pm is the best way to do it as everyone knows what price they go for plus this way gives everyone a fair crack.

Agree to a point mate, Banksys work is well executed and clever/funny whereas Neate is just a brilliantly talented artist. My biggest regret last year is that i didnt travel down for his show at Elms and try to pick up a few of his prints at cost.

Disagree JBOY . I wrote to Adam asking him the meaning behind the prints I have and they are quite deep especially Queens special. Good story behind come on and cold war too.

Im sure people are going to bite your arms off. How much you want for it? It would be best to post a price!

[bullet]

how can you disagree with my opinion? Im not saying that this should be your opnion, its just mine.

[mammal2]

JD whats the meaning behind Queens Special, one of my fav prints!

[manty]

Because your opinion is wrong

Quite good the fact that JBOY aint a fan of Neate, If everyone liked the same stuff then it would just be boring. Me, Im into Banksy, Neate, Ian Francis, Some Dface pieces but i just dont get Faile, Swoon, Judith Sepine the latter just being a bit to freaky for me............

[manty]

JD, I would like to know this too

Looks like the lurkers are already getting neg happy, Lost one already, And for what? If they read the posts correctly they'll see that this is not for financial gain but to buy a piece that would otherwise be out of my reach. Fuckin muppets

I thought that was the idea mate, thats how a discussion works. Im sure you would prefer that than the sucking up everyone else does in the clique

[robgee]

Slightly off topic, but then again we've spiralled away from the initial post already.
Is anyone still waiting for their S&S? I'm getting worried it's been lost.

[mammal2]

Mines still at the post office. Mahhh! Off to pick up tomorrow and then straight to Railings Gallery for a sweet ass frame!

Im not saying you cant say 'yes, but in my opinion neate is better'.

your just telling me that im wrong and thats not right is it.

[jam]

northernmonkey- a Neate Self Portrait is a worthy cause... +1 for your willingness to diversify and good luck with the sale.








Of course if it were me, I'd be after the Red SP 'cause its the best Neate print ever IMO.

In the olden days the Knights of the realm nealt before the Queen to be Knighted wearing the flag and were called the Queens specials. This guy has been drinking too many of the queens special cheap drinks £2 a double and feels ill. He has been watching England lose at football (again). Adam wanted to show the difference between who used to wear the flag and the sort of hoolie that does now. The pub is a prefab type that could potentially be burnt down one night thats why he burnt the pic to give it some more energy (genius) The pub is the Queens at upton park by the way

I dont think Neate is better than Banksy, no way. Im saying I disagree with you that there isnt a meaning to his pictures and pointing out to you that with a bit of digging you will find there is. Its just not as punch in the face obvious thats all. Banksy is a genius FACT

cool.

well it is for financial gain isnt it you cant say it isnt - appreciate your honesty though as when people put themselves out there by selling a recent print your bound to get neg'd - you are offering forum members an opportunity rather than ebay so cant say fairer than that I spose...oh and it wasnt me that neg'd

Come on was a photograph taken in East Ham .The recent teenage stabbings inspired him hence the do not cut logo on his chest.The man /adolescent is standing in the playground with open arms to capture the transition for a teenager learning to survive in a dangerous environment.All to true in inner cities where kids have to grow up quicker and quicker.The figure is floating ie almost a ghost because he could potentialy die any day in this enviroment. Hence the halo
I havent got 2am but its probably about us on this forum
