Street To Print, by Daniel Silk on Dec 22, 2008 15:58:34 GMT 1, In 2008 it seems we have seen more and more pieces that start out on the streets being released as a print a few weeks later.
Do you think we are going to see this pattern continue and grow in 2009?
Will Artists save up their best images for events such as the Cans Festival, so it can later be released as a print?

Street To Print, by Happy Shopper on Dec 23, 2008 16:17:53 GMT 1, It's a bad trend.
What's worse is that some artists are clearly turning all their images into prints, and I'm sure it's even before they've been on the street, or anywhere at all (even as an original artwork)
Ideally I'd like to see images become popular before someone decides to release it as a print. At least put together a body of work and then choose 1 or 2 to make prints!

Street To Print, by Happy Shopper on Dec 23, 2008 16:31:26 GMT 1, This goes hand in hand with the thread about the over promotion of prints by artists and galleries on the main board here.
It's all rolled together, but I'm not sure there's an answer!

Street To Print, by weeble on Dec 23, 2008 19:41:44 GMT 1, I was taking a look at my walls, and I reckon the majority of it wasn't ever 'street work' to begin with, but I'd still class it as 'urban art' - Insect, Micallef, etc. Even the Sickboy stuff I have - he's a street artist, but the prints I have on the wall aren't necesarily 'conversions' to paper, at least I don't see them as such. They are mostly great images which happen to be on paper. Stencil art seems different to me for some reason. I don't actually have much stencil art on the walls, other than Banksy of course, but prints based around a stencil, well it would appear to me as a conversion. And that's fine, but I have to say unless it's done the rounds on the street I don't see much appeal.

To do a piece on the street, or to do a print release and promote it first on the street 
and people like it, and want a print then thats great. Its when you get it first appear on the street within the same week as its released as a print 
starts getting a bit silly
