I read that. Good read. Is JR really 25? He looks much older. I thought he was in his 30's.

[Studiocromie]

it does not matter how he looks, when you talk with him he's a funny young man!

thanks for posting the article!

[doyle]

thanks for the link.wonder if he will release a print from the images from google earth?he has certainly opened my eyes.

The stuff he did in the favelas was amazing! By far the best street art I have ever seen...

Shame his people were demanding money to use a couple of shots in my tiny little magazine... They would have looked great in print.

Who are his people? Lazarides?

no, it's not lazarides.
it's JR equipe.

dude, im sorry cause i'm sure your magazine was nothing evil but i completely understand why jr ask to be paid from press for his pictures, you gotta play it cool with the press, they always do what they want with your images, they always write what they want and you can never control it to be sure they're gonna say right things.

and you wouldnt want your images on some crappy article right?

i think that once you rich that level of media exposure you have to take some precautions.
you can always do exceptions (ie for small magazines like yours) but how to judge what's small and what's not when maybe you have to go to kenya to work pasting a huge train?


hope it did not piss you off, cause jr and his people are all nice blokes and good hearts

I've just read the article again (in the actual paper) and it says that Laz had one of the prints and that Judie Styler (Mrs Sting) had bought one of the other 4 prints.

Does anyone know apart from Laz's one, the other 4 and the edition of 80 if there are any other runs of the Laj Ly image?

[doyle]

don't know of any other runs of this apart from crakedz.com selling them for 29 euros

Didnt some members on here buy those cheap ones and said they were poor quality when they arrived?.

[Macdeee]

Hey Angelo... No it didnt piss me off at all. I was just a bit gutted because im an independent magazine that has still never made a penny in the form of profit. When I replied letting them know I was a small A5 mag from London and that I could try to pay the "rates", they never replied to my emails.

Its all cool though... Mr Romanywg took some snaps of the stuff he did in London in September I think and he very kindly has let me use them in the next issue and they look amazing!

[Winter]

I guess you'll get what you pay for for 29 euros

Noooo...I have just ordered one of these.

Never mind, as has been mentioned. €29 I might have guessed!

Just bought the Tate edition from Laz

Nice, Winter!!! You all just got me into this artist -- he's truly amazing. So I say thank you ;D

[griffermans]

I saw a JR EYES pass by on the bay the other day with no bidders. Starting price was £280. Seems a steal for an edition of 50. Perhaps people are a little slow on the uptake?

[Winter]

There's something a bit tricky about trying to find JR on the bay

[etched]

hes ebay proof at the moment
