Yep!
But (being soppy) I love my girl more than any of my art, and the internship is just too good an opportunity to pass on.
And if anybody has been to Geneva..you know how expensive it is to live out there!
Hopefully she'll get an awesome job through the experience gained and can buy me another blu in the future! ;D

It can be expensive, but I managed a snowboarding holiday for 5 days, lift passes, hostel, food, flight etc for ยฃ420. I also had the pleasure of meeting the only US Gashead i've ever met whilst based in Gindlewald. Freddy Traub, I love you man, although you'll never see this. I also love Blu and a sketch would make a cracking addition to my family. I hope you sell it. My wife bought me nohting hi year, having said that i we bought some pressies for us bothin the sales. This i great example of probably the greatest street artist outside of 'the mild mild west'. get on you you tbe send and watch for yourelf, breathtaking. cheers Buddy.

Ha ha, thanks. To be honest, I've kept a low profile and spent most of the past year paying off stuff bought the previous year. I'd love to have a few pieces by this artist but precious little is out there or at least precious little that I've seen. I had a gorgeous (to me) cluster of McGee face sketches on hold for a day from his last show that would have looked delightful but my better half thought otherwise. Frustrating but I respect the "buy what we both love" rule and I just can't seem to get her over the edge on that artist. How about you, any additions?

I hear that though i think i'll leave it be as i like the dirty aspect to it. I'm drawn to the image personally as i did a few solo dives locally last year and found myself surrounded by hundreds of medusa jellies and snapped the photos below. The water was a balmy 48 F so i was covered head to toe in thermal protection, otherwise I would not have been so excited to see them.

Hi Lee, long time !
Have been looking for a McGee cluster for over a year, liked a lot of them but not THAT one. I'll know it when I see it. Drop me an email re Blu, might have something for you.

Don't get me wrong, I think the artworks is beautiful and I admit I'm the uneducated here about BLU's prices but ยฃ3,500 for such a small size sketch, really ? Is BLU's artworks already so expensive or just so rare that this translates into such high prices ? Anyway, sure both parties of this transaction are really happy which is all that matters... Congrats to you both ;-)

Very fair point, though that was the ask. Admittedly the sale wasn't too far off that price and the seller picked it up for much less not too long ago. When art speaks to you, as this composition does to me, what can I say? I also have a soft spot in me for drawings and I'm particular and looked at what remained at Laz 3+ years ago and nothing moved me and then again at Blu's artsh.it site once that was introduced. Unfortunately for me, I didn't know POW had these drawings a few months ago but that's ok.
I would have loved the money shark when I first saw the artsh.it site but it was already sold. The others didn't push my buttons enough to buy despite being available (and their prices weren't small) at the time but have now since sold. I've been looking for some time and passed on the handful that were available as they didn't speak to me. I'm generally patient and I'll enjoy this but can well appreciate anyone who thinks these things are overpriced.
It has occurred to me, whether deliberate or not on Blu's part, that there will be some pent up demand if and when the day arrives that he decides to exhibit some work in larger format for sale. I don't even want to think about trying to get on that list.
