Share the STIK love!, by tartarus on Nov 9, 2016 18:51:51 GMT 1, ok, so i know him a bit better than you do, and i explained why i think he does it. You seem to have an axe to grid regarding it. Which is odd since all he ever did was something nice for you. Just my opinion though. my knickers arent in a twist, although it does seem a pretty wanky way to talk about him, when he does plenty of good things for other people. Expressing one negative opinion means that I have an axe to grind, when I've been nothing but positive about him overall? I don't think so. Again, because he did something 'nice', which I'm grateful for, means that should silence criticism? Bit scary when you get into that kind of thinking. You're a friend of his, have several works, you can't express an objective opinion by default I'm afraid. Said what I've had to, I'm not getting into a slinging match. You dont actually understand what objective means do you.
I also said you "had an axe to grind regarding it". Signifying a singular issue rather than a generalisation.
Your writing FAR too much into what i said to you, i didnt say it should silence criticism, but then you are criticising him for being proud of what he has achieved.
"Bit scary when you get into that kind of thinking." is just you running way off point and into irrelevance.

Just seems pretty ungratefull and bitchy to be fair. Your having a dig at him for something that is no big deal.

Share the STIK love!, by tartarus on Nov 9, 2016 18:40:48 GMT 1, Seems a little over the top as a reaction. I guess your avatar is a sketch he did for you for free is it? Still, you keep pissing on his fireworks. This is not a 'reaction', 'over', or otherwise, it is simply an opinion, which I'm entitled to. It shows I'm unbiased, as I have that little drawing, which I love, regardless. I understand you have several works, know stik personally, and regularly visit his studio. That informs your opinion and your vested interests. No one is pissing on anyone, so stop getting your knickers in a twist. ok, so i know him a bit better than you do, and i explained why i think he does it.

Share the STIK love!, by tartarus on Nov 9, 2016 18:30:41 GMT 1, I like his work, but find the relentless posting about auction prices a big turn off I'm not keen either. Leaves a bad taste, is unnecessary, very un-street, and against his anti capitalist, socialist principles. In my opinion. I'm sure those following him on social media are aware of prices or don't care and just want to enjoy his free street work and the posters. Why highlight the auctions unless it's for a charitable cause, which isn't always the case. Seems a little over the top as a reaction. I guess your avatar is a sketch he did for you for free is it?

Share the STIK love!, by tartarus on Nov 9, 2016 18:08:20 GMT 1, I guess he's made a rod for his own back. By shutting down his print releases while continually highlighting growing auction sales via his Facebook account, he's building up new levels of expectation for a future print. It wasn't long ago that he said a new print would be out this year, so here's hoping. He is a master self promoter when you check his fb with lots of auction and price references, do other artists discussed here do it to that extent Probably not. But then they dont as a rule have his back ground either. I think he is probably just rather proud of the way things have turned out for him. From homeless to where he is now, i can see why he would be proud of those results he posts.

Stik for sale, by tartarus on Oct 23, 2016 14:44:24 GMT 1, was that including the buyers fees? I gave up and went to bed before it finished this morning. it was showing a bid of 8k at the time. But they have a 25% buyers premium. Also it said live bidding begins above the timer. Rather than bidding ends, made me think it was going into a real auction after the time ran out. very confused! You are correct it did indeed go in to a traditional auction but one could continue to bid online and the hammer sounded at $8500 plus 25% fee to the house. So indeed over $10k for the little guy. Cheers for the info. Amazing price.

You carry on with that then. But since a print is is going to start at 6k you have no chance at all. I'm surprised if you know both artists work that you don't know the huge differences in their prices.

Stik for sale, by tartarus on Oct 22, 2016 18:30:50 GMT 1, Well yeah, if its a doodle or a sketch or similar given away piece he wont do it. I have 3 pieces from King of paint show with coa's from both the gallery and Stik. You should stick a pic up though. Edit : you did. Nice little piece. Thanks. Have you posted yours from KOP up? Would love to see? Maybe not here as to hijack zippy's thread, but over in the stik forum or 'Show Us Your...'? yep they should be pretty early in the share the stik love thread i think.
Surely he must have sold it after the artsy one has gone through the roof!

Stik for sale, by tartarus on Oct 22, 2016 17:38:52 GMT 1, Never say never as they say. He most certainly does do COA's for his pieces. It all depends if it was sold through a gallery or not. I have an awesome work he did on foam board back in 2011. I sent it to him and asked him if he could provide a COA. He said that "he cannot authenticate doodles or 'study works' as there are hundreds and are not part of his documented gallery collection. All he can do is say that based on the medium / subject it is likely something he did at that time". Well yeah, if its a doodle or a sketch or similar given away piece he wont do it. I have 3 pieces from King of paint show with coa's from both the gallery and Stik.

KAWS Silk Screen Print for Sale. , by tartarus on Oct 17, 2016 15:59:01 GMT 1, Either way, cheeky fuck. Just bought it, and trying to flip it... but then says he doesn't really know the value? What? Doesn't add up does it? Doesnt add up well to me at the moment thats for sure. The sudden need to know value if real after he priced it originally, the for sale for a mate and now he has covered all basses to try and look innocent, but seems to have evaded the one point we can use to confirm it came from an auction. Sketchy as f**k from my view.
