Shepard Fairey FOR SALE on ebay, by LJCal on Mar 8, 2020 2:39:16 GMT 1, So many Banksy Box Set Fakes too!!!
So many Banksy Box Set Fakes too!!! Yeah the prices of these are so depressed, the market is absolutely flooded. There is no way genuine guests reselling would have created this much supply. i think a lot of the locals supplying the hotel are probably producing way more for sale on the black market. |

Shepard Fairey FOR SALE on ebay, by urbanny on Mar 8, 2020 10:09:27 GMT 1, I'm not sure if naming and shaming is allowed, but I'd hate anyone else to get duped on eBay by buying a fake listed as an original editioned screenprint. The eBay member is eddysapparel - based in the UK - I was unlucky enough to purchase a fake Shepard Fairey from him on eBay, and under close scrutiny I noticed a number of his other Fairey listings seemed a bit dodgy too. The print I bought was the 'Holiday Mandala' in red and gold. I own quite a few other Fairey prints, and checking it next to them I could tell the ink/finish was totally different, almost waxy and too thick (which I believe is why he sells a number of his works framed - putting these in a tube will definitely make the paint/ink crack and flake). Also, looking at another Mandela a friend owns, the image wasn't as sharp, with small details being inconsistant (like the swirls & petal finishes being off). Also, the edition was the wrong size. He usually sells the prints at a low value (not sure why you'd fake Faireys considering they aren't too expensive anyways compared to other artists) and has listed multiples of the same prints. I'm not sure if all are fakes, but considering he sells multiples of the same image, in frames, with a number of the signatures looking iffy, I would do some investigative homework before committing to a purchase. Never hesitate to name shame if saving members from fakes, I enjoy blocking eBay users in my account. Thank you for looking out.

Shepard Fairey FOR SALE on ebay, by h.dupa on Mar 8, 2020 10:23:25 GMT 1, Yes, this SHEPARD FAIREY - MANDALA - 18 x 24" - FRAMED by eddysapparel definitely iffy. It's however extremely hard to discern authenticity of these prints just from the signature alone. As you know if you have a few prints bought directly from the store signatures vary non trivially. His signatures are definitely all over the place, one of the reasons why it’s so easy to fake his stuff
So maybe an intern with a not so steady hand?

Yep, that’s my feeling as well

I've owned many signed prints, but the sigs always seem quite the same….
I suspect he does sign them all himself.

My advice would be to take your time. If the seller has Low or poor feedback then avoid.
Also see what else the seller has sold in the past few months. If they have only sold Box sets then I reckon they are a wrong!!!

Here's an image of one of the fakes I mentioned - real on the right, fake on the left - it'd be a lot easier to tell them apart in the flesh, as the printing quality / ink and paper is very different. There are a lot of differences to spot, I've just highlighted the more obvious ones.

It just goes to show how these fakers are so sloppy. Problem is not all fakers are so careless and that damages the market for everyone. Thanks for pointing this out its a real eye opener. |

Shepard Fairey FOR SALE on ebay, by Chris JL on Oct 14, 2020 17:21:58 GMT 1, Just got an "afrocentric" from eddysapparel (was bough basically unintentionally -- had placed the minimum bid and forgot about it)
The item he sent his not even the one he advertised, and what I got is clearly a fake (I just compared it to the real deal).
Wrote to the due about whether he wants come out clean (i.e. send me the one he posted pictures of, since it looked right). Failing this, I'll report him to eBay and the police Action Fraud portal (whoever bought from him, you should do the same). He has a long string of likely scams, so they might actually pick it up (I'll make sure I make that point clear in my complaint).

No need of picture: paper is wrong, pencil hardness is wrong, numbering format is wrong, and signature is way off -- and I compared with a solid original less than 20 numbers away in the same series. The print quality is also way off compared to the real deal.
-------------------------------------------
In case somebody needs the details, the seller of fakes eddysapparel is:
Asher Edwards
12 b fox hill
Upper norwood
CRYSTAL PALACE
SURREY
SE19 2UU
Having name and address makes it easier to report (as suspected individual) to the anti-fraud police database at: www.actionfraud.police.uk
I've done my civic duty for the day
--------------------------------------------
On the good side: he did not deny that he sells fakes and he is fully reimbursing me.
He is a respected "Screen and digital printing specialist" after all:
uk.linkedin.com/in/asher-edwards-2a2a41a2
Can one report fraudsters on LinkedIn?

It would be helpful to others if you could show what the fake product looks like.
ok, but for didactic purposes (and not to show numbers) let’s do it on pictures out there already .
check out the “Molotov” print that he his selling (top left one): www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OBEY-RECORDS-SIGNED-NUMBERED-SHEPARD-FAIREY-x3/114457781701www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OBEY-RECORDS-SIGNED-NUMBERED-SHEPARD-FAIREY-x3/114457781701
Pay attention to the hardness of the pencil, the format of the numbering, and the signature.
Now compare to the real deal: www.graffitiprints.com/product/obey-molotov-album-cover-print/
The fake he sent me had exactly the same issues (wrong number formatting, wrong pencil, odd signature). For the fake I received also the paper is off in terms of weight (lighter) and smoother, and the print seems done with a photo printer rather than a silk screen (where the plastic “shine” replaces the intensity of the mat but strong colours of the original)

Shepard Fairey FOR SALE on ebay, by acaipride on Oct 22, 2020 0:57:13 GMT 1, Same here, I reported him due to my brother in ny picking up a guns and roses from this seller under my account. He claims his works are real and he buys and sells, that the fake thing are just rumors...ebay doesn't really care, and I don't know if obey giant brand cares...
But yea Eddy's apparel is a complete emporium of fake obey prints..some pictures for info :
The paper is a lot heavier than even prints from that same year, the signature is weighed down and bold, it doesn't compare to the same ones from that same year.

After seeing so many of Shepard’s sig, pretty easy to spot a fake. He signs more than anyone in the scene.
Good spot!
