I'm in the NYC area and purchased an "original" from a VERY well known street artist. The cost was not huge, but into the 3k range, which is a lot for me. 

After getting a picture via text from the artist (or someone close to/rep), I said I'll take it. Happy.

2 weeks later I received the canvas. It's "close" to what I was sent picture wise, but it also lacks details that are so noticeable from the picture I was sent. Not even close in my eyes.

So, I thought, was told, I was buying an original, and the f'ng thing seems to be a quick re-make of the piece I was told I was purchasing. It's a REALLY cool piece. I'd hate to jump on a sword and get into any big dick contest, but... I'm so unhappy they pulled this on me.

I can't out the artist, not my thing. 

Well if your piece was handmade it is an original! Artists make variations of the same piece all the time and they are all originals.

I understand very well that you are upset about not getting what you were shown and there seems to have been some very bad communication from the artists side here and they need to up their game. I hope you can sort it out with them personally and to your satisfaction. I think public naming and shaming for matters like this is very distasteful and as is getting the lynch mob out by fuelling all this speculation. All the best of luck!

Is it Richard?

but with tattoos I'm guessing..

tattoos on the face ?

Shitty move by the artist. Get your money back. The experience has been soured. Now, every time you look at the piece, you’ll think of this shitty experience. That’s the exact opposite effect a piece of art you buy and own should have.

You ordered the left one, but you got the one on the right?

If the artist has a day job, I would try to find out where it is and who her boss is. Contact them and let them know how unethical and conniving she is with her business dealings. The boss would not want a staff member like that reflecting on their reputation.

better still kidnap his co\ worker then cut a finger off everyday you have to wait .. or a ear 👂 may be ironic 🤷‍♂️...

Yes!

Any Stripes reference is OK in my book!

After venting here with nothing of substance, just a situational gripe, I'm very glad to say my nothing has been resolved.

The artist is Cope2, and he's contacted me with extremely generous options to resolve. I'm a very big fan of his recent works and relieved that he's making things right.

The piece I received is really nice, but it was not the same as what I had ordered and shared with wifey to put on one of our larger walls.

40x50 inches. It's going up now, with agreement on another piece.

Glad things got sorted for you. I remember when I reached out to him before, because at the time my Instagram had no followers he lost his shit 😂 safe to say I didn’t buy a piece..

[iamzero]

Some great colours there. Glad you finally named the artist and stopped the speculation on another artist. Cope2 is very strange.

[Winks]

I’m going with previous advice on this. If you haven’t got anything nice to say....

[timmundo]

Yep. You're probably right.

...... Blame Brexit? 🤣🤣

[Ottomatik]

Cope 2. Ugh.
Why support such an arsehat?

Still boycotting 1xrun because they sell his work.

[timmundo]

I get it.  I like his work.
I respect all angles folks have, and there are many.

He's a local guy for me. When we've met he's be nothing but a gentleman. Then he disappears.
This was the first/only scare I've had with him after spending some cash on a piece. Was not enjoyable.

As far as I know he's incredibly true to what he does. I'm by no means and expert, I go by vibe only. He's a rough around the edges fella, seems to keep to his core beliefs and keeps trucking as he wishes.

He took care of my gripe. And I'll keep being a collector of his.

I was a bit embarrassed the day after my post, as I was 3-14 pints deep when the canvas arrived. I called, emailed, text messaged many times... he responded a week and a half later.

Resolved. 

[Icecream Man]

I commissioned a piece from him years ago. I would never do business with him again...
