Hey dos anyone know anything about ABOVES Arrow mobiles. I really love his work and have been after one ever since I passed on the opportunity to steal one that was hanging down the street from my house. I know he has some sort of questionnaire on has site you have to fill out to buy them, but has anyone actually done it? How much do they cost and if anyone has one to sell please let me know. Thanks guys

[paulypaul]

Funnily enough I filled out the questionnaire about a week ago - not had a response...

Perhaps I wasn't deep enough...

[mishco]

i did it about 4 months ago. the arrows were $1000 each and there were 11 to chose from this year

[wlsp4657]

So no one has had any luck? Do we think $1000 is a lot. It seems pretty cheap considering he does not sell much art and only 11 a year is nothing.

[johnas]

1000usd!!!

i remember katokato (forum member) found one in Berlin and sold it on here for £10 a while back!

You've got a good memory johnas! I contacted him around that time about his Berlin arrow but it was in really bad shape and as he described it, a naff pattern. He ended up giving to a relative in the end. Perhaps he should dust it off and see what it would get now! There were certainly no takers back then. There's another thread or two on Above including videos which I'm sure a thread search would bring up.

this is beyond me !!!

Do those people sell few pieces a year puposely in order to justify the fact of selling them at a high price ?

It's a very strange state of mind !

But as long as people are ready to believe that it's worth the money only because there aren't many....

I feel like an alien !!! lol !

[Simococo]

My missus filled out the questionnaire and was given the chance to be in this years "Arrows Auction". I thought they would be aboout $200, but when he said they were $1000 I couldn't believe the madness.

absolute rip off $1000 for an arrow shape bit of ply is a joke.
Its a great idea but after the 1st few arrows its a wee bit boring

[runningdog]

It's counterproductive. He should sell them at $10 - 20 a pop plus postage, and ship them in the thousands, but get customers to make a solemn promise to hang them in public places. Hey presto: an Above Arrow worldwide movement, with thousands of paid-up recruits.

If they start appearing on Ebay, he could just undercut their prices and make the sellers look like tw@ts.

[Daniel Silk]

Crazy prices I cant see how he could keep a straight face when asking that much for them ;D OK its supply and demand, but they have no track record of selling on the open market for that sort of money If they were selling on ebay for over 1,000 then thats fine, good luck to him ;D

[runningdog]

Offers? I was thinking $100 each.

[Ripper1331]

Aren't those the stickers that came free with Peel Magazine?

[runningdog]

Um...yes
Anyway like I was saying get your offers in now in a year these will be worth $1000 this guy is gonna be HUGE

[katokato]

wow you guys do have a good memory, yeah I gave my to brother in the end after a guy on the forum who wanted it changed his mind.

Good on him I think for selling them at whatever price he feels like. For me he's a true street artist, although hes selling them on his site for quite a bit I think he doesnt care much about the money side of things. Hes seems to of been traveling for the better part of a year covering half of Europe with his work. I think he just loves getting the work out there.

[paul]

i really like the above arrows - $1000!!!! way too much for me. Here's a sticker of one i found near brick lane (sorry if this has already been posted:

[taco]

Saw loads recently in barcelona...was tempted to take one but didn't....

[paul]

does anyone know what the print looked like? on his site it says that one was released on monday...??

[bibop]

if you think its expensive, dont buy. personally i think its fair considering what other artists charge. its an original, and theres very few of them. also, demand are more than availibility.
You can also see it as a way of supporting his street pieces - i dont think he lives in luxury, and if u have the gold - you probably are. (I dodnt buy one as i couldnt afford it at the moment.)

[Martin Whatson]

Not the worst price when you know that this guy is one of the most active streetartist and is a really nice fella.
He use all his time and i guess all his money on his travels to bring this great arrows all around the world (actually dont seem like he has been in the states for a long long time).

So we should think of it as a donation to the cause... of covering the world in arrows!

Where's my credit card

[Studiocromie]

after many emails with the artist ABOVE during his 18 country, 6 month "South Central Tour" Now currently taking place in South and Central America. ( southcentraltour.wordpress.com/ ) we were able to catch up with this very busy artist and convince Above to come to Italy this summer to make some original screen prints with Studiocromie and a few other surprises.

right now we have his oringal works for sale on our website ( www.studiocromie.org/gallery.php?id_art=84 )




these are the same arrows he used for the 26 countries tour around europe.
feel free to write us if you're interested in any of these arrows and we'll be happy to give you more details.
