Why post , if interested you'd already have received the email. Just makes things a little harder for the fans:(

[Chrisp]

Maybe this section of the forum should be closed from now on then or made invite only? I don't know if you noticed but this is the print release part of the forum.

[spenie]

Isn't it the urban art part of the forum, not really sure you could class Josh as urban art. I just don't understand why if you signed up for the newsletter you'd want to make your chances even higher at getting a print. This forum is open for all to view and as strange as it may seem some of those that come here to read the info are only interested in making a profit. As you'll no doubt see in the sale section after Monday.

Good point that Josh may not be categorized under Urban Art. The only way I can see that, is that he takes statues and adds things to them, or puts them under water etc. Not sure where this statue is from, but plenty have been from Denver, CO. I personaly talk about and term him as a contemporary artist. Either way, great print. Wont fir with what I ahve and I parted ways with 85% of my Keyes collection, so I'll be trying for htis for a friend from another forum (not EB or the Keyes forum).

[gwhit]

people share on this forum, most info orginated from emails, Its just your keen to get this print that you dont want it shared if you didnt want it im sure you would have no issues. I see your point and would feel the same way, but its a forum , dont log on if you dont want to see shared info. Loads of sites id guess are also talking about it and what have you. Will you go onto each of them now?

[Chrisp]

Sorry if i ruined the secret i didn't realise you cant talk on forums, what are you on this board for anyway? Most flippers are ex collectors or just people looking to make some cash the same as a ticket tout this info would be landing in their inbox too.
Who are all these flippers anyway? It could be a friend that tells them there is cash to be made on a certain release, this forum and so on and so on. i would imagine any artist that resells well has a huge following to email subscriptions from these flippers that know nothing about art. it's going to be no big secret Google already has pages and pages on the release.
Thanks for all the negs Spenie appreciated

Quite liking this one, need cheering up after not getting an Ian Francis yesterday from outsiders, was away from home though, so not a lot of chance on a phone on the Motorway.

Yeah agreed, surely anyone who had any intention of flipping this print would want it kept as quiet as possible too?

[twist65]

i'm interested in the print and i'm not on his newsletter, or a flipper, so thanks for posting

[james]

I got the email but there are plenty others i dont get so always welcome sharing releases on here, even though i am not a fan/collector of a certain artist i may still be interested in their work and haven't got round to signing up on their mailing list.

[maadbeats]

Yeah thanks for the heads up. For some reason I want signed up for his mailing list. Always figured all new prints went thought the David b smith gallery. I am going to make it harder to score one. Hell yeah

[Richard Seabrooke]

Josh Keyes has his own section on this site so he must be considered part of the Urban Art scene by the powers that be.

I very much doubt Josh would class his work as urban art!!

[twist65]

stop bumping the thread if you want to keep the release under the radar =]

[maadbeats]

Bump bump bump. You may have just made this the most popular thread

Maybe in the past you have found out about print releases by others posting about them on the forum? So you would have gained by others sharing information
But you now would prefer people not to post just so you have a better chance of getting your hands on a piece

^^ this.

[Art Fan 2011]

With the following Josh Keyes has, there is not a hope in hell any of his releases, limited ed or otherwise will "slip under the rader". Even if nobody spoke about in on this forum, you can rest assured than many many many thousands will allready know about it! Yes I want it and yes it will sell out in seconds, f5 at the ready!
@freerange - as always thanks for clearing things up for us

[bjornca]

I'm interested in the print, received the newsletter and would have done the same as Chrisby (even if it does impact my chances). I bet flippers received the newsletter too, so would rather have collectors that didn't impact their chances of being able to flip.

[sfinks]

I dont see the issue here. Doesnt every single artist have a mailinglist? Or at least 90% or so.

Nice print, i voted for above and belove, but this works too

[twist65]

heheh freerange that made me chuckle...

If you really want one of these prints, aren't you best off hoping that flippers get a few?
otherwise if you miss it from source you'll never ever get one...

[bullet]

The even funnier thing is that people from expresso beans will read this and think they are about to hit a goldmine.

[spenie]

If I miss out from source then I won't be getting one, never bought a Keye's print in 4 years off the secondary market and this one will be no exception.

[sfinks]

I love Keyes work, but it dont seem like its the best art to turn a fast profit on.
The latest releases has been just over cost at eBay since, and offers for cost pops up here and there.
