The Big Issue Art Wrapping Paper

[psycho666]

How sharp is the image on the Charming Baker wrapping paper this year?

I bought the panda head one last year and it wasn't very sharp and look like a low-res scan that was scaled up. It was just a bit soft and fuzzy.

I bought this-:

£10 - the key for me is not the cheap cost but the fact that the plexiglass sticks to the print which reduces the rippling of the very thin paper. The habitat frames are better quality for sure but have standard glass.

Not that sharp tbh. I don't mind it to be honest - for the price and the fact it's for charity I think it look decent enough; just don't look at it too close up 😉

I am using Ribba from Ikea for the same reason.

I have one of the signed Panda heads (as pictured above) for sale. DM me if interested.

Jake & Dinos Chapman worth a go at £50 - interesting pun!

Jumped in value in recent times compared to not long when you get them for couple hundred and eBay was flooded; Bonhams sold for £1100 & 1300 in Nov and Dec auction.

Yes this one. But there are other artists. Is Donwood appreciated apart for his sleeves ? Another great artist well known ?   Thanks 

[Acme Thunderer]

Such a shame that none of them actually have a Christmas / festive theme (like Christmas paper normally has!). They would have sold more and raised money.

Stanley Donwood - Evenfall

Beautiful paper for gifts.
Unfortunately it is not very suitable for wrapping gifts. The overall effect is lost.

[ceriseris]

Ordered the Donwood one as I really like the image. Adia Wilde & Andrew Millar are probably the next most popular names on that list as I see there work all over (not my taste personally)

Hi everyone, I run the The Big Issue Art project every year and you've been amazing at getting the word out there and helping this initiative be a success. We've had some incredible artists over the years giving up their time and talent to support us...The Connor brothers, David Shrigley, My Dog Sighs, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Dave White, Pure Evil the list goes on. This year, I wondered if you'd mind helping me by suggesting artists you'd love to see included for 2024 and beyond? Any suggestions appreciated or PM me :-) Thanks so much 

[Dahmer]

Banksy

[Jimini Cricket]

Hirst

[Daylight Robber]

Luke Smile

[Acme Thunderer]

Mr Jago artwork would look incredible to be used as wrapping paper.

[Lroy]

I know that Banksy likes a lot The Big issue. But he will never make a paper wrap.
So I am thinking of artists less well known but really interesting :

Stik ( very well known, sorry but he passed through my head )
Invader ( very well known, sorry but he passed through my head )
Lonelyfarmer ( very well known, sorry but he passed through my head )
Tox ( ( very well known, sorry but he passed through my head )
10foot ( very well known, sorry but he passed through my head )
Gonefellow ( very well known, sorry but he passed through my head )
Sweetoof ( very well known, sorry but he passed through my head )

Etc etc
:-)

[Tobi187]

I agree with the 2 above: Sweettoof and Mr Jago would be nice.

Plus Paul Insect, D*Face or ROA.

[og]

+1 for those already mentioned Mr Jago, Stik, TOX & 10foot.

[Skizz 82]

Roa
Stik
10foot
