skills bud..

well done, you must be happy!

[yapsey]

that is sweet - my space cowboy came last week and i'm saving my pennies to get it framed up which might take a while.....

[arcam]

Probably my fav Blek. Congrats.

[seidbereit]

That's great maadbeats, congratulations.

Regarding the print though, can someone tell me what the two colours are? I can only see black. Thanks.

[insite]

Very nice, much prefer this to the print version with a gun.

As too the 2 colour bit, is the canvas painted first ? bit like those monoprints someone round here got

[Harveyn]

Maadbeats - Stunning absolutely stunning.

I have said it before and I will say it again that Blek canvas was my favourite from the show. I can't believe I did not buy it at the time. What a bargain price.

By the time I went looking the 10 had sold, but it did make me go out and buy this earlier piece.

and i thought my beggar print looked good
;D

[maadbeats]

Thanks all. Yes I got it from Levine. Was eyeing from day one, then saw Black rat Press had a couple, they sold out so I jumped. Lori was kind enough to give me a layaway plan.

Harveyn great Begger. Love the plexi cover. I must say Bleks OG stencils are the cleanest I have ever seen. Perfect contrast

I spoke to a "gallery" well-known for ridiculously inflated prices about one of them (well one of each of the white/black ones) and I was quoted £4,250 per canvas for them!!

The same "gallery" quoted me a price of £1,500 for an unframed monorat print (which he swore blind was hand-sprayed) two days after it was released at BRP. I've done much better than that in the meantime

What price have you been quoted for the rat canvas jfury?

I think I probably spoke to the same "gallery". The price was £4,250....I like it but probably not that much!...I was just unsure as I didnt know original pricing or what i should expect to pay.

[seidbereit]

I'd love to know the original price, but knowing this "gallery" the original price was probably around £1k as they're only little canvases (40 x 40cm IIRC?). I'd also be curious to know when that "gallery" last sold anything as I can't imagine there are many stupid enough to pay their prices.

[Harveyn]

Frankie sold a couple of these and I am sure he can give you some price guidance. Blek's prices have jumped significantly since Bonham's. UA sold one of the Space Cowboys for £5.9k and correct me if I am wrong maadbeats but these were £2.5k at source.

..thats a quick hike in the old dollars eh..

Afternoon H - are you referring to the rats being £2.5k or the nice new piece maadbeats has?

I think these came out through Mike Snells place Dionysean Art (I'm sure I've spelt that totally wrong) maybe he could help.

I think I spoke to the same gallery, just managed to keep it together to say thank you before I dropped the phone.

[scavos]

That's gotta be up there with the very best of Blek's. Good for you maadbeats.

harveyn - you're a swine... ;D

Hi Seid - I am referring to Maadbeats piece but I think on reflection it was £2.25k ($4.5k).

I complete steal at that price I would add.

[seidbereit]

Well it's certainly making me regret my hesitancy over a blek piece a few months ago when I foolishly kept my cc balance free in the vain hope of landing a banksy (and thinking there would be a Bloody Gabriel print) at SG... pah!

Incidentally, can someone tell me if Mike Snelle at Dionysean Art is the same Mike at BRP?

I was wondering the same thing!

I've always assumed they're the same Mikes, surely there can't be two Mike Snelles representing Blek.

[jfury]

Blek has a solo show at BRP later this year, never really been too interested in his stuff but the beggar above looks absolutley superb love the black & white stuff

[insite]

Urban Angel had a Beggar on cardboard would love to see that for real .

[maadbeats]

Space cowboy was $4800 at Levines. There was a large version with the gun for aroound $8k if I remember correctly. I would assume the rats were $1500 give or take. Sorry I only speak in dollars.

[stjohn]

Rats were originally £1,500 each I think. Have a look at these pics from the original first Blek show at TLSG in Oct 06 I think:

Mikes are the same.
