just got this from black rat press

No Gallery For Old Men.

Due to overwhelming public demand and because you are young and vibrant and potentially armed with brickbats and cudgels while we are old and weary and creak slightly we have decided not to release Nick Walker’s Hollywood print at the Print Show. Instead we will be releasing it on Valentine’s Day, between 11am and 11.01am. Online only. That way we if no one’s sent you a Valentine’s Day card you can cheer yourself up with a lovely new Nick Walker print. Although, thinking about it, if no one sends you a Valentine’s Day card AND you miss out on a lovely new Nick Walker print, let’s face it, it’s probably not going to be a particularly great Valentine’s Day.

However, because we don’t want to kill your queuing buzz we will still be releasing the D*face prints, collages, Swoon etchings, Blek prints and one-offs at the show.

Thank you for your time.

does anyone know how much and what edition size?

[jones27]

bah...I received it too (as Im sure most of the forum regulars have to)...Was kinda hoping it wouldnt get mentioned on this board because bringing it to the attention of lurkers/flippers makes it now a 100 times harder in getting a print.

[delpipero]

i think the total edition size is 150 - 50 were sold in LA, so maybe another 50 here?

f5 meltdown here we come....

[menace2sobriety]

edition size is 150 - 50 sold at the show in LA so 100 left for online sale

[jamieb]

why not tell the whole world about it. 30 seconds later it'll be on eBay

[Guest]

Was hoping this would be available at the print show only, thought this may stop so many flippers getting their mitts on this.

[G-Man]

Dammit.. an online brawl means that the chances of getting one are now bugger all..

Oh well I guess the queue on Saturday will be shorter though

sadly it really doesnt seem to work that way, it seems that 90% of queues are made up of flippers these days....

is it roughly the same as this image here:

(copy and paste the whole link '@' is ruining the party)

Its not my favourite thing in the world...count me out of the bun fight

sorry to those who didn't want it mentioned on here but this is meant to be an urban art forum is it not? we shouldn't have to be silenced because of lousy flippers. I'm sure they are all on the mailing list too.

just trying to be helpfull

Dont worry about it, its the same on every release........

[delpipero]

fair play to you - you're bang on right about the flippers being all over the mailing lists, sadly far too much money to be made to keep these things secret.

i was lucky enough to get the london MA print from the last BM show - had a mate moan at me that i didn't get him one....but only after he saw the recent prices on the 'bay. Secret is well and truly out on the whole scene

In ideal world, someone would invent a superboard for banksy..where everyone would have to declare their ebay username upon membership and therefore make identifying the flippers a little easier.

[arcam]

PM's is the way to go my friend.

I'm yet to be successful at getting a print from BRP, I suppose there is always a first.

Silky knows everyones email addresses and could probably match it up with ebay accounts and name and shame those members. Not saying this should be done as it's highly unethical and probably illegal but it would be very funny.

PM's is definately not the way to go as it is then in the hands of the select few. I for one am really pleased it is going online as I had no chance of getting to the show. now we all stand the same chance. Also I am sick and tired of all the chat about flippers, some gallerys are just as bad ,if not worse, Nick's LA exhibition being a case in point, one of the canvases available was sold for $6,500, two days later the self same canvas was for sale on a gallery site for £20,000 work that one out!!

[Guest]

have to agree, you do have a point. seems post bonhams, lots of people are getting rid of their Walkers.

[bond]

ok people - no more posts on here so it'll drop to the bottom !

Mods - pls lock this !!!

[jonvespa]

we all paid $650 for the print in LA. Apparently they will be available after the 24th of Feb.

Everyone seems to have missed the 'tongue-in-cheek' reference to the current spate of madness.

"Instead we will be releasing it on Valentine’s Day, between 11am and 11.01am. "

[carlito]

I kinda took it as a given
