Every Print Is Crap, by Cocteau 101 on Jul 19, 2008 9:18:16 GMT 1, I'm beginning to wonder why a lot of people on here buy or still own a lot of the prints that have been produced by artists over the last few years.
A lot of discussion seems to be that this is crap and that is crap.
Not a lot of love out there for much.

Every Print Is Crap, by funster on Jul 19, 2008 9:34:02 GMT 1, Would mainly agree but amongst the poorly produced prints are some great finds. I really rate the McAttee and Neate prints. Also the recently released Beejoir print from Camp Barbossa is something I've never seen before, hard to explain, but v v good. I think a lot comes down to the gallery, as the other releases from Camp Barbossa and also Art El are imo really well executed.

Every Print Is Crap, by loucastel on Jul 19, 2008 9:37:38 GMT 1, I dont think it's a case of "not a lot of love out there", I think it's a case of so many artists jumping on the bandwagon, producing very mediocre work, and art buyers are hopefully becoming a bit more selective in their buying. although a lot of people still seem to buy purely for the kudos of owning a bit of "street art" and I use the term very loosely.
In my short time on here the amount of artists have expanded exponentially, eventually the market place will be flooded!!

Totally agree, if it's all crap why are they bothering? I reckon half the fun of collecting is spotting the diamonds among the paste though. Maybe people think things that they've missed out on or that nobondy else has 'bigged up' are crap...

POW
Outer Edge Studio
Faile
BRP
Bast
Campbarbossa

Every Print Is Crap, by Winter on Jul 19, 2008 10:03:18 GMT 1, Most art I own isn't 'urban' or 'street' art. My Neate Deepend is a stunner and it makes me laugh that everyone's panic selling their Neate prints as if they're shares on the decline. So much of the bandwagon stuff is awful. Koukadis print with Tony Blair being arrested with the wrong sized head is a particular low

Winter, I agree entirely. There is some stunning stuff out there.

Every Print Is Crap, by Zippy on Jul 19, 2008 10:42:32 GMT 1, you have to remember that not 'everyone'lurking or posting on here is actually into the art.
a lot of people saw what happened with the prices of Banksy pieces so therefore buy anything / everything in the hope of it becoming the 'new banksy'.
So, to satisfy this craving, there are prints released daily. I am sure we are all offered / can find a new print release nearly every day of the week. Print houses are making a killing on these releases and are purely fueling the greed of the flippers.

how many people do you hear saying I'm only buying originals now? Plenty.

Every Print Is Crap, by weeble on Jul 19, 2008 10:55:19 GMT 1, For me, the Micallef Girl Tokyo print is totally superb, the quality is freaking awesome - I seriously can't believe the quality. It looks completely hand painted, so much texture and detail. Behind the museum glass it's beautiful and there is no way I'm ever parting with it! 
At the end of the day, aren't prints just pretty pictures? Just buy the ones you like and think will look good on your wall! Simple. Nothing else to it. That's all I do. Try and overcomplicate the issue and your asking for trouble!

I only found this place after someone I bought from on ebay steered me here, otherwise I'd never have found it. Most people I know don't use any of the fourms.

think alot of people have stopped because they were running on credit cards. Those people that put all that cash on their cards at the micallef launch at Laz must be crapping themselves by now

Buy what you like and can afford.
On the other hand totally agree with Winter:
So much of the bandwagon stuff is awful

An interesting thing that I have been looking at is the number of people who visit the Artists forums. Some like Neate and Micallef are much lower than you would expect going by the way some people go on about them, and then Faile, D*Face and now Josh Keyes forums are buzzin! 
Its like some people are big fans one minute but then a few weeks later have forgotten all about them
