Yes please

Funny how the flippers are really trying for this after the talk here especially as there's still some great originals for a fraction more. Hope to see the fans have these framed up

I have to say that I agree with you. I do not understand the desire for prints, unless it's by an artist where originals are very expensive. I am of course delighted for Qbic that he has had such a successful release. But I would much rather spend a little more and buy an original drawing. Here's mine. The amount of work and his attention to detail are just fabulous.

[chads007]

Agree

I agree with you in terms of a investment stand point to go for drawings like this BUT as a collector, why would I want a piece of paper on my wall? Dont get me wrong, I would collect drawings just not frame them. I love Qbics work. Very refreshing and reminds me of phlegm in some ways. At least the prints framed up are things that can make or break a room. We all have different opinions but plenty of people on here get pissed when others talk about collecting art as a investment which we all know MOST people "new" to collecting does just that. Collecting drawings is for investment purpose in my mind only.

I have seen past fellow school mates draw unbelievable drawings and put them in there binders. They called it doodling. No drawing would make my wall because I do not believe drawings are things you frame.  But again, thats my opinion. This goes back to not wanting to explain what this is on my wall. I just feel prints/OGS/HPM/HF etc are the ones that stand out when people come over. I don't frame things just to frame them. I frame things in certain places to light up rooms or stand out. BTW, I am not trying to be confrontational but I would like to know peoples opinions on why they collect/frame up drawings. A different opinion about this side of things is refreshing.

I certainly don't by drawings as an investment.
I buy art that I love. And frame it. I cannot see any reason why not to frame a drawing. Each to their own.

[kel]

Coach and Chads I agree the drawings are a bargain and you guys do have some stand out pieces there. Unfortunately I am too late to the party the ones available aren't a patch on those. Not to worry will have to settle for me Blue print version and hopefully get in before you guys in the future. ?

I think you have an interesting perception and would be interested to know if you are a new collector - or have been building a collection for some time as I know i went through a period where all i could focus on where the 'stand-out' pieces....but I don't want to detract from Qbic's thread so maybe this is a debate that should warrant its own thread ?

[11]

seqret - thats actually quite a nice bit of hand-finishing - and a lovely print btw. These days 'hand-finishing' tends to be a bit of spray, squiggles or drips so kudos to Qbic for putting so much effort in

I have been collecting since 2011. That is when I purchased my first piece. So 4 years now. I don't want to detract from Qbics thread either. I think a seperate thread would be good so that everyones opinion about this would be nice to hear and would be refreshing.

I personally just purchased and framed a beautiful Qbic drawing although I did go for a larger sized one. I thought once framed it would fit in better with my collection. The fact that it is a drawing really has no bearing on anything because my collection is diverse. I also then bought one of his new prints that I'm sure I'll frame and put in another room. i just really like his work. Additionally, I think it's cool to have many different types of art. The spice of life is variety.

[Coach]

I have been giving davievagas' post some further thought. I guess that different people collect in different ways.
I can honestly say that I have never looked at a piece of art and considered whether it will or will not fit in with my collection. I look at art individually and if I want to buy something I do it with no regard to whet else is on my walls, or even as to whether there is any wall space for it.
Same goes with framing. I decide what frame I want for a piece with no consideration as to where it will hang or how other pieces that will be (very) close by are framed.
One thing I am certain of is that I have never bought anything thinking it is just right to keep in a portfolio!
But each to their own. No right or wrong way!

[chads007]

I prefer sketches and drawings. They're more personal and unique. Not so bothered about bright prints to show off or have a wow factor for whoever visits. Imo.

[aberdoom]

Its horses for courses i guess!

I have a Qbic sketch and think this print will look great next to it! I dont really have much wall space left so each purchase has to be scored against one i already have on the wall lol, if it beats it i sell one... luckily this one has a space!

But do think its funny that flippers would flip a print that's an edition of 20, but not try that with the sketches!

But well done to Qbic on a sell out!

[Wilson]

That UK EBay seller managed to get two. Thought it was one only.

[Jameszee]

Haven't posted anything for a while due to me becoming a father recently!
Have two secs available between nappy changes to post pics of my new qbic sketch frame up - well chuffed! Thanks Rustam & Max.



Have to decide where I'm going to hang these pair of beauties now.....

[dreadnatty]

Lovely pieces! Congrats on the newborn Jameszee

[chads007]

Congrats on that mate!

The new born is pretty good news too

[wow]

Do you buy the sketches from QBic's page? Or other places? Can't wait to get my print! Sent QBic a request, but haven't heard anything yet. Bet he have a lot to do with the shipping of the prints etc...

[sparky999]

Shipping takes ages from Russia don't be surprised if it takes 3-4 weeks to arrive.

I still think this warrants a thread on its own - maybe one of the more diligent mods will move it  

I went through a phase where i was using art to decorate the room - and it becomes more about the colour palette or frame than it does about the piece. 

once i moved away from that mind-set and realised that, as room decoration it will never be the art that  you really enjoy that gets hung so should decouple the two. Same with framing, at first i tried to get frames to match the rooms - and over time realised the frames didn't actually suit the pieces contained within. Unfortunately i went to the other extreme on that and just put everything in white box frames - still haven't found the balance (or confidence) just just go with what I feel suits the piece  

But once you realise (if you want to of course) that you don't need a 'stand-out piece' (usually meaning fairly large) of art on every wall and actually an appreciation of the actual art itself means you can enjoy drawings and sketches on greasy pizza boxes - who cares. I guess in a very compressed way that is how I've gone from wanting only iconic pieces to the realisation you can enjoy art in all its forms and it isn't impressing the visitors - its something that everyday, as you wake up and move through the house you see your pieces and they put a smile on your face, a song in your heart or a thought in your mind who cares how they look, where they are hung or how much they cost - they are there because YOU love em. 

In all seriousness - i think this is good discussion matter- if the consensus is to move it I'll create a new thread but just don't want to upset anyone by shifting stuff without warning.

Without writing a lengthy response at this time I just wanted to point out that I think this is all a personal preference. I don't look for the most amazing/iconic images to put on my walls. I really buy what I like. A perfect example is that i find love/heart/ images very comfortable and girls LOVE them. I am married now but chicks always mentioned how "Homie" my place is because of the images on my wall. I dont have any weird images like Bast or Herakut on my walls even though I like Herakut(the work is out of my price range right now). If I was going to spend that kind of money, I would buy some banksy pieces.

I personally buy black color type of frames no matter the design. It goes well with my walls/furniture in my house. I see plenty of people put up pictures of there collection and It looks like a collage of random images. I personally don't like that or see how its inviting in any way and I would not do that. Like I said, personal preference. I think this started with me stating, why would you frame drawings. I would make a book with them in a collection in a safe place. But growing up and going to school and college etc, I found fellow class mates had amazing drawings which they called doodling. I never thought to frame them or to collect them. But this was before I got into street art. But my outlook is the same.
