I have had a very upsetting week. So many disturbing things have happened that I'm a stressed out mess. Most of my art is dark or sad or political, and my favorite piece this morning is not the Herakut. I need art that is uplifting. So this morning, my favorite is Retorno by Tinku. Although it is political, it is much more than that. The Guatemalan woman in the image has experienced hardships and sadness that I will never know, and yet, the look on her face is of a survivor who can find a joy in the moment. This particular work of art is also remarkable, in that it is quite large (38.5 x 58) and is a 4 layer stencil that took 1000 hours and several hundred thousand cuts to make. Tinku's dedication to his art, his focus and discipline, is inspiring. It hangs in my office where I need it most.

One of my favourite Banksy. I fought the law....

[behaviorist]

Great thread. Lots of lovely pieces. This, my first Faile, is likely my favorite:

[Cornish Crayon]

The only faile piece I'd hang on my wall, it truly is a piece of art.

Great thread, some amazing pieces on show here.

Harveyn, could you tell us a bit more about these Banksy pieces, would be really interested on the history of them - they look great.

That Harrington is stunning

[eschiff]

Wow some great pieces. For me it's the Os Gemeos pieces and the Nola AP

[Majestic]

Lovely looking place! That Nola looks fantastic.

[Dive Jedi]

No Banksy's, Conors or other expensive stuff.
I have some pretty amazing Snik birds I wouldn't want to part with,
but if necessary they will all go. In the end it's just cardboard and paint.

Except this one!
Herman Brood made this especially for my son's Birth Card in 1996.
In his career he only made 2 birth cards - one for his best friend. And this one....
VEILIG AANGELAND - SAFELY LANDED

For me it's probably this. Not the most expensive print but proper iconic street piece. I love it. Someone would struggle to get me to sell this.

I'm amazed how cheap these are still too when they're available and I'm amazed The prices of Bens work has never gone crazy like invaders has recently.

A nice gift from the King.. Will never part with this

[coller]

Have a bunch of pricey pieces now, but it'd honestly be my Faile Flag AP. Never selling that.

Reading articles about environmental economics this morning (we college professors do that sort of thing) and have been taking long breaks to look at Martin Wittfooth's original painting titled Loot Bag. An extraordinarily gifted artist, Martin claimed that this was one of the darkest pieces he has painted. Although I don't agree, I must admit that the image is powerful and rather sad.

[ak1]

Don't think I could be without the Scully or this Blake!

[mojo]

Art wise these two are pretty special ....far too personal to ever part with.
I only just noticed I really need to paint behind my pipes

[Masong]

There is some seriously amazing art here. It's great to see such a mix of fantastic artists with such diverse styles. Thanks to all for sharing.

With regards to art the one below is a special piece to me. Jeff Gillette's 'Dreamland' canvas from the gallery space at Dismaland. It's on the wall these days, the pic below is after first unpacking it when it arrived!

And at Dismaland...
