;D I really think 2007 is gonna turn out to be a wonderful year for Street Art ;D We have got so many shows over the next few months, with more and more Artists appearing all the time, and producing loads of new and wonderful stuff ;D I think its gonna make last year look pretty dull

Lets not all get bogged down picking and moaning about things, be positive, Buy the art that YOU really want, and be lucky! ;D

[bombshelter]

Yeah 2007 should be very good for street art , the only problem i have with it all is being able to afford all the stuff i like ,my wish list is up £5.500 already and its only march.

[wildbill]

I'll drink to that ;D

Yeah, I know just what you mean You think - "OK ;D I better save that money for when a Banksy comes out" But then a new pieces come out from another artist, and you think - "ahhh, those Banksy's aint gonna come out this month, so Im safe to spend it" But we never really know whats round the corner ;D

I hope they remember to put some on the streets tho, not just in the galleries.

Good point! ;D

Brilliant to see you on here gm ;D hope your doing well

[corblimeylimey]

Yeah I agree, I've got high hopes for this year, the trouble is the more there is, the more I've got to be really picky. Having spent out on my Bleks I'm really only on the look out for inexpensive stuff now, there is plently of it but I've got to be selective and I'm trying not to spend more than £70 a pop.

As gm says would like to see more on the street too, although that's not likely where I live, so here's hoping to see other peoples photo's.

[stuey09]

...and you can get some really good stuff for £70. Turin Scam, Magic Jelly's Heart Attack, Swoon's Charity print. The list goes on. However, I think the reserves will still be brought out if the right picture becomes available.

[Art-el]

For quality prints at under £50 check out www.hoodacious.co.uk/ if your not already aquainted. Good paper and print quality too.

No it's not my site nor do I know them, just bought a few bits from them in the last 6 mths.

Just a heads up

Peace

I love Swoon's work which is why I'm not keen on her charity print - completely loses the sense of the original piece especially with the change in medium (from cut-out to print??)

ripper1331 has posted a pic of a nice Swoon piece he has up in his house on the GYBOFTL thread (p31). I'm planning on a little night-time visit...

I'm Gonna Steal Me A Swoon!!

I think 2006 was the year for Street Art. Think 2007 is the year for more artistically talented artists (Adam Neate, Micallef, Matt Small to name a few)

Right on gm, seems to be mainly bout prints/ebay at the moment, hopefully banksy, faile, eelus, d face, dolk et al will get their collective asses back on to the streets....

(or if they have been busy, post some pix)

[ABC]

Thanks Johnas that answers a few questions I had, Looks really good even if a little small. Size isn't everything (so the wife says)

[johnas]

i think when the others are released they'll look great as a set, framed together

[ABC]

Has she got a site? or does she use justseeds.org/ only

[ABC]

Looks like a part of the paste up that was at the eleven show after looking at these
visualresistance.org/photos/2005/on-the-street-w-swoon/

[johnas]

the site is www.wearechangeagent.com/swoon/

it has been 'under construction' for months!

great spot on the street paste up.... i wonder if the other prints will make up the whole picture?!?!

[bombshelter]

Some very good replys being posted, lets all just hope we all get a pay rise ,so we can afford the art we all would like to buy. & lets hope we see alot more street art going up this year to.

[johnas]

on the subject of swoon, i do love the whole wheatpaste thang she's got going on.... perhaps we'll see more of that over here in blighty in 2007?!?

it seems quite an American thing - anyone know of any Uk artists pasting in the same way?

[ricosg11]

I think we are (in some cases) getting in on the ground floor of a huge movement lasting over the next decade if not more. Certain stars will shine and some will fade and some will come out of nowhere.

[goffy]

I hope to get the new Dan Baldwin print from Forster and hopefully (yeah! right) Trolley Hunters, after that I am spent up. Like you said earlier, nothing over £70 from then on. Let's see it on the street. Let's face it, Banksy's best work is out there on the walls.

[Ripper1331]

Bring beer if you're stopping by. ;D

I think you will see more street art prints and more originals available but less on the street. New people will be throwing a token piece up here or there and then try to cash in on it with prints and others will just keep on going ignoring the scene.

Actual street artists are finding that they can make a living at it and that the work is in high demand if it's good - which leads to people going around and stealing it as soon as it's up and running to ebay. At a certain point the artists are going to want to profit off their work instead of some middle man who is buying up prints and selling at 5x the cost a week later.
