Cheers all - trading two Peckham rocks with original receipt / provenance for a full set of unsigned posters (mint condition). DM me if of interest. (To be clear: I have to peckhams, want the full set of Stik hackney posters).

You have a better chance at it buying a full set on ebay

Sorry to hear that Geezer Mate. St Mungo’s is an amazing charity that clearly at this time is needed now more than ever.

I personally would check to see if the member has logged into the forum since you sent your PMs. If he has, then you can confirm that he is deliberately ignoring his moral obligations to be good on his word.
If his account says that he has not logged in after you sent the PMs then that does not exclude him from having still looked at the forum and seeing he has received PMs by you.

That leaves you with the dilemma, should you send a final PM warning about exposing him on here - thereby providing a potential blacklisting for him or just proceed to out him and then ask the under bidder if they would still be happy to donate their bid for the signed Stik print.

Either way, in future, I would recommend never taking bids from someone by PM for a charity auction conducted in the open via a thread. As you lose the transparency and also the peer-pressure effects which will ensure people who don’t have strong moral values do not waver or renege.

Thank you mate

The folds are permanent. When paper of this weight (140gsm) is folded by a machine the fibres are stretched and some on the outside angle of the fold are also torn. Even with professional restoration they will be visible, but lessened. As this is a mass produced lithograph, the ink layer is thin and has been preserved over the folds. Thus I would just recommend pressing the print either professionally by your framer or you can do this yourself. Using heat with an iron carries higher risk without the better cosmetic results you desire.

Jesus, and I suppose Santa’s not real too!! Happy Sunday folks. 😂

Why doesn’t he just bring out some new prints?

Can definitely see the appeal for a nice screen print but I for one welcome this, I would never be able to afford a print. These are acceptable quality for the wall for lower level collectors like myself.

Agree with niceguyg all Charity bids should be in the open.

If the bidder has logged on and not answered you should offer it to the underbidder as it was a very strong bid from the start, nice one Terry

Er... He released an edition of 108,000 new prints last week.

Is there anyway of finding out how many were printed in this run?

Was there really a run of 108,000 done this time. Maybe with the covid the run might be smaller as you'd think ebay would be flooded with these.

I asked him that same question, his reply was that he is studying and researching various geopolitical issues that he feels need to be talked about.

He has a long waiting list waiting for canvases and in between seems he’s making his new book

If any official prints were made it may lower his market value .too many variations would lose appeal

This frenzy over free prints and the money People are willing to pay Creates free publicity , bit like the early days of banksy , the cheap prints Selling on eBay kept making the main media news outlets And filters into the canvas Market work which the artists Make their main share of financial gain

The majority of households are not art loving collectors or have an interest in art in hackney , plus a majority would not even open the paper and would go straight to the bin
The staff at hackney council delivering the papers were not Even aware of the artist until uaa members started turning up👀

[greenart]

If anyone is interested, I’m willing to trade a mint Invader Hello My Game is postcard set from 2017 for a poster. Shoot me a dm to work something out.

He’s got a long waiting list as he can’t be bothered to do them. I heard the same from many people.
I don’t think the posters can be considered a print release and I have no doubt it’s from an old artwork anyway.
What’s his back story anyway? It’s well known he lived in a squat but I know many rich kid drop outs who chose to live in squats and be activists.

[Love Is In The Air]

I found out on Friday that Hackney Today is printed at the presses in Watford that my work has a connection with, wish I had discovered this earlier as spoke to a colleague to try and pull in favour but was of course too late to get any posters as they and the papers had long gone!

A guy from my company that works at the presses then got in touch with me too, he couldn't understand all the fuss and was amused by it all when I told him about the prices.

The posters were "slips" put in the papers afterwards and not printed on site. He said they had been expecting a pink poster but it never materialised so I think that is why some papers went out from the press and were distributed without posters.
He said there were roughly 20k of most of the posters but more teal (29.5k) and less blue ones(10k) but I have no concrete evidence to support this and obviously lots of people on here looking for teal so maybe got that wrong.

The numbers he gave me for total volumes of each poster would mean edition is roughly 102k of posters.
