What are you after Ruggs?

Maybe a Banksy, depends on my bonus in June!!!

Christopher Wool -

Also a few old Failes! Maybe an original

I'm after a faile original in 2017 for sure

Bridget Riley print for me!

Being a newbie....where do I start? Dface, Dface.....and some more Dface? Hoping he drops some heat next year since I can't afford the older stuff.

If I fall into the right deal I'm considering buying my first signed Banksy, maybe replacing an unsigned print with a signed one or just something I don't already have.

Apart from that, my walls are pretty full given what I've bought over the last few years, and the things I have up on the wall are mostly there to stay. Thinking of replacing my Dran - Le Char with an ILY or an IHC as it has a pretty prominent spot in the hallway, and thinking of replacing a Roamcouch print with something else. That's about it.

But having said that I'll probably end up buying a lot of shit, because I have issues. Happy holidays

Think I'd like a BME to go with my Trolleys. Otherwise, I have pretty much no wall space, so it's going to have to be an original that pushes a print off the wall. Still coveting a BAST original, but probably out of reach. (and second that, BMF, about leaving 2016 behind).

Maybe this will be the year that I finally buy....

From Lazarides:

1) Lucas Price - Teenage Phantasm #102
2) Michael Muller/Sage Vaughn - Attack #1
3) Xenz 'Now Here?'

From Secondary Market:

1) Journey print - Ian Francis
2) Exodus - Josh Keyes
3) Cops/Robins standard ed. - Penny
4) Charming Baker - 'One or Two Cats', 'Sorry', 'War Child', 'Throbbing realization....'

From Artists:
1) More hand-finished/embellished prints

2) Herakut print (their work is so good but their prints are so unappealing)

3) An apology from Dran for calling me in 2011 and yelling after I emailed him to tell him that I liked his work. I really liked the 'Human Sucks' piece with the rhesus macaque. We had a few email conversations and this was around the time my childhood dog died, so I mentioned it...and I think sent a photo. I think he thought I wanted to get some free work from him or something, there was something lost in translation obviously, my French is shit. Never meet your heroes. To this day I still don't have anything of his on the wall. Exhibit is one of my favorite pieces, by any artist. But even if it were free, I wouldn't want it - until he apologizes for being a dick for no reason.

4) Word To Mother - really like his work. 'Aint no city like mine' and the one with London written across the top are amazing. I hope he makes prints of some of these images.

5) Just see what's released and hope my F5 works...because you c**t with the hookups and bots always beat me

Nothing. I say it every year and fail, but I'll be not only not buying but also selling up most of my collection as I need to fund a new project next year.

Plan to use my art budget to travel and see more shows in 2017. More viewing art less buying art...at least that is the plan.

Like a broken record I'll say...

An Ian Francis original.

Maybe this year, probably not but always good to set yourself goals.

Oh and a Richard Learoyd original if I win a decent amount on the lottery I don't play

I wanted a learoyd till I saw his pricing. Pace Macgill is going to be getting some fragments soon, but even those will be between 12 and 38.
