Speedy Graphito , by Lroy on Jan 15, 2024 18:37:16 GMT 1, I will meet Speedy Graphito Wednesday because he is exhibating some prints in gallery L’Estampe where he is selling last of them ( 750 each, big size, 4500 for the box of 7 ). Maybe I will ask him to dedicate his last book who is pretty colored ( we feel a lot of influence as Lichtenstein etc ) …
I was wondering if you were interested by his box ( maybe he sells it on his Insta too ), but above all I was wondering if you, US, UK, world people knew him ?
He came from comics ( illustrations ) and he is known as the precursor of street-art in France ! Did he paint some walls ( I have to see), anyway Kaws never painted a wall outside ( I don’t like Kaws ) ?
So that’s the links :
Amazon and Fnac you know them ( I don’t know if there is English langage as it ms mostly full pages )

I didn't even know the name, but then a few years ago we were working in partnership with a champagne house (Thiénot, de Reims) and they sent over a limited bottle by Speedy for us to use as a competition prize.

I wish I was closer so I could go to the opening and share a nice story with him.
My parents were visiting France several years ago and stumbled upon Speedy Graphito doing a book signing and had him sign a copy for me. He ended up adding a nice sketch too but it got damaged during their flight home.
Anyway, I just lost both of my parents (one very unexpectedly), but this thread got me thinking how thoughtful it was that they were to remember my love of street art and stand in line for the signing. Just wish it had survived the trip back to the US instead of getting ruined by an exploded bottle of shampoo!

You had two good parents.
Nice story and nice family bond.
I'm sorry for what happened to you and what happened to them.
Separation from good parents is always heartbreaking.

Beautiful artwork, Lroy.

Speedy Graphito , by Lroy on Feb 18, 2024 13:19:15 GMT 1, I have met yesterday Speedy Graphito and he signed me the book. Really nice one. He even made in tattoo style The Picasso Guernica one. A real and humble artist ( that knows obviously Blek, etc ) and that worked for newspapers too by the past.
I will make a giveaway of his signed booklet ( + the Liberation sold out in my town - about Invader exhibition ( for those that wanted a souvenir )…

the box - wonderful too - set is formidable with awesome quality prints !
Prints that you can order in the links that I posted up the thread are at 750
euros each, in the box there are 7, for 4500 euros, so it’s like if you got a free one.
the owner of the gallery ( who is editor too and made the prints - very larges ones -), told me that there was also a smaller one ( that I can’t find yet on their site and that will be sold 300 euros )…
Le Déjeuner sur L’Herbe, his last one is great and id in his box.
Anyway this is the link again ( you have to navigate to see their artists and shipping ) : www.estampe.fr/artistes/speedy-graphito/#full-bio
