Mobstr 🇬🇧 Street Art • Print Release • For Sale

[sal]

British buff fighter, Mobstr recently released his new (first!?) print:



Taken from a British Ecological Society text book "Welcome to London - Goodbye Biodiversity"
Fig 1.3 Page 47, Thames and Hudson, 2011
edition of 65
£40

Each one of these prints was lovingly hand pulled by mobstr. He did this over a weekend in a small dark room whilst the rest of the nation sat out in the sunshine drinking beer.

" Each one of these prints was unlovingly handpulled by Mobstr. He did this over a weekend in a small dark room while the rest of the Nation sat out in the sunshine drinking beer".

This looks every bit its description. Even the 'circle' of the pie-chart looks like it needs a bit of light shed upon it. Witty idea incredibly poorly executed at a totally ridiculous price.

Looks like a digital print of an Excel spreadsheet. Poor

[sal]

his work is quite specific, and works FANTASTIC in the street, so it's pretty hard (if not impossible), to turn it into production piece..

also, his works are more about statements and clever, witty observations, than being piece of art..

I guess this is just a way for someone who appreciates his work, to own something from him...

Agreed, what might might raise a smile in the street doesn't always translate into a print. Plus even a talentless berk like me could knock that up in about 3 minutes.

[sal]

update - price change!

[elwheel]

Hmmmmmm

[elwheel]

After careful consideration, and upon reflection, these were in fact lovingly pulled...

I genuinely feel bad about my criticism of this piece and I will definately buy one..upon my return from holiday. Apologies Mobstr. Good work Sal

Really digging mobstr at the moment...

Has a new canvas in the shop which is quite brilliant.

The stuff sells out pretty fast, the £200 canvas is tempting as well

Bluddy bargain for £35. Grab some of his bits before everyone catches on.
Banksy ripped him off recently with his street pieces

No hype. But you heard it here first.

Rest of the shop is here. The cans are wicked

This is censored. How childish.

Go to his website here and click store.

Seconded. He'll also be joining us for this years Nuart. He's been ignored long enough. Add him to the "underrated" list.

[barryh]

nice find, is that an open edition ?

[bullet]

Usually capped at 20 but who knows

[Blakeies]

I really like that canvas for some reason! Nice and simple

Heres all the HUH street pieces.
Massive piss take out of the market as a whole, but god its charming.

I'l get one if they're still around tomorrow

[Blakeies]

Yeah I agree With the Statement on there that huh, put into no context, with no apparent meaning provokes its definition within the viewer....

Can only imagine the conversations it would start with people who don't understand why I like spending my money on art

[xmyart]

The Cashman sent me this the other day oddly. Gave me a giggle

Hey James, good to see you this evening. Was just walking by Mobstr's on the way home, £35 seems to good not to buy one.

[bullet]

Really tempted by the chin piece.

Could be heavy though as its on wood

I also request that if you like this thread you supply me with a -1 neg. i could do with getting my score down.

[Blakeies]

£15 postage and packaging seems a fair bit though... The total price of £50 sounds much more expensive than £35...

[Zippy]

Really like his work and a great sense of humour on the v link.

He re-invests all the money back into his work so don't begrudge him £15 for postage and packing. It must cost £10 at least to post so plu a box and bubble wrap it can't be far off?

Yeah true and it's not a print so I suppose 15 makes sense... I'm going to end up paying it anyway

[Rsyok]

It would be cruel not to generously -1 ya FR low five just enjoying the site, this Tesco letter is a beauty..

Nope, didn't get the sticker signed for the mate I was with. Ended up having a long chat with Will Barras though; lovely bloke.
