BRP - Nick Walker - The Queue Diaries

[idris]

BTW - reason why i'm heading down early is simple

2 reasons - 1 - I start my new job on Monday & 2nd I doubt i'll have the time to go to a show in a while. I didn't wanna risk travelling Thursday am & only to get to BRP realising i'm gonna miss out on the print - so, yeah i'm not looking forward to sleepin the streets of london however; for my art i'm willing to suffer.

& please don't think every1 is flipping - maybe its the last chance i'll have to afford NW at cost.

I hope u guyz understand :-)

[graeme501]

im sure that it will be worth it for them

£££££

[graeme501]

idris u dont need 2 appologies to anyone

if its going on ur wall, then well done for the effort ur putting in 2 get 1, im sure it will be worthwhile

the sad fact is that not everyone will be sleeping overnight for the love of art, more for the love of a quick £££

[idris]

FYI:
I can vouch for at least 2 of the people already in the queue as regular forum members who I can say with some certainty have no plans to sell this print on, as they are not 'serial flippers'.

So Idris, travel safe, and rest assured there will be some fellow forum members already there glad to receive you.

seriously can you blame them? When you look at the hoo ha (what a great expression) made on a thread like this I'm surprised there's not already 75 people queuing...if everyone just calmed down a lil maybe it would help the market also calm down a lil (probably not...but seriosuly guys and gals)

[manchestermike]

If people start queueing now it gets stupid, as soon as it's out that people are there then more arrive... if everyone would just wait until morning it gets more civilised...

Last time this happened we all know the result...

[dmandpenfold]

fight?

[richy00]

FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spenie1975]

Sounds like a queue for Daniel O'donnell tickets

[Viva Hate]

has anyone actually seen the print yet?

Are they queing 30 hours for a butterfly on print?

[jed100375]

See you at 8pm guys. I'll be there in my red camping chair with a bottle of brandy all swiggers welcome. Just hope i'm not too late!!!

Has anyone established why the print is that expensive? I know it was said that it was difficult to print but why was that?

I imagine it was as they said a 'difficult' print to produce, that coupled with only 75 in the edition??

I mean if it is £750 then I am guessing an edition of 150 would have been around £400? Anyway, the London MA is now £3k+ on Ebay so incomparison it's still pretty cheap, at least the money is going to the Artist and not the flipper!!

Thanks Pud. So the oars aren't hand finished then ?

[lover]

cant wait for the Banksy tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

Thanks Pud. So the oars aren't hand finished then ?


And it's not printed on the packaging that the real paper came in ;D

Fight at Laz Micallef release, those that started it got rushed to front of Q and served so that they would Fuck Off!!!

No sense in the world! Lets hope they still have their £4700.00 prints now worth £3k ;D

Trouble, fighting, those fighting being ushered to the front, people missing out, ebay swamped, prices down, flippers burnt, very good artist's career damaged...

[carlito]

last time some dealers had a fight in an alleyway with lots of lil limp muscled art buyers (I was one of them!) quaked and watched while in the queue for Micallef prints...for their trouble rather than calling the police these nutters got appeased with prints and told to move on....absolute joke....

[jonpud]

[Guest]

I really hope people behave themselves, would really spoil what is going to be a fantastic evening, with some great art on view.

sad video Pud

[Pupster]

...thought i'd add my two pence worth... just had a wander down to BRP and yup only 5 or so people sitting patently waiting, no sign of riot police just yet.... Some great pieces by C215 around the area tho so if you get a chance to take a walk well worth doing so...

[klyde]

Does anyone know what all the fuss is about anyway?

Ie, what the print looks like and costs?

[cpo]

The people already there should try to organize passing out numbers and a sign-up sheet then try to talk BRP into allowing that order to purchase the prints...

[richy00]

the print is £750 quid, its an edition of 75 and it is a butterfly over a boat....
