weird collections, by gerry on May 15, 2008 22:06:09 GMT 1, I used to collect animal bones i found when out on country walks when i was a young kid. Only did it cos i once watched a saturday morning kids TV thing on odd collections, and they interviewed a kid who did the same thing 'because i know no-one else does it'.
Sounded like a veiled challenge to me, so kinda felt obliged to prove him wrong...

If I get a chance I'll post a pic of the Polish one, it's fantastic.

dont forget Futura and Kaws!
even Os Gemeos, and Barry McGee had a toy made each.

weird collections, by Agent Provocateur on May 16, 2008 12:35:53 GMT 1, Cheers Dan, there's a story to that frame... the poster is quite rare so I wanted to get it framed properly (but because of the size I had been carting the poster round from various addresses for years as the cost was prohibitive!). Then I got a bit of money and went straight to John Jones in North London... aka the guys that frame Hockneys work!!! Well, let's just put it this way, the framing is stunning but the price was stunning as well. It was bread and water for a couple of months after that .

weird collections, by rioja on Dec 17, 2008 17:05:24 GMT 1, Collected a few things over the years but got into early sixties Poole Studio pottery for quite a while after finding a bit in a boot fair. All individually handpainted and most signed by the artist (now I know where the urban art fascination started) so it wasn't long before others caught on. Here are some good examples...

If you find a bit lurking in a dusty old cupboard, do let me know
Also still got a Viz comic collection... somewhere...
