Adam neate , by Hubble Bubble on Jun 1, 2023 21:06:28 GMT 1, Forgive me... I can't see a price... is that what the 'PM with questions...' is referring to? I ask only as I have absolutely no idea on price of a piece like this. But I do love it.

Banksy Stamps release @ Ukraine, by Hubble Bubble on Mar 1, 2023 15:12:01 GMT 1, Hey friend! Just making sure you got the link to buy one since I wouldn't have known about this one if it wasn't for you! Link: www.waone.net/support-ukraineI don't understand what's actually "signed" for the Seth sheets ? I might be blind (coming along with my advanced age) but can't see any difference on the 2 pictures posted I see we have suffered the same username dissection. I have gone from Hubblebubble to Hubble Bubble... you seem to have gone from Shootagain to Shoot Again. Ah well, such is life... onwards! Or, rather, on wards! HB

Damien Hirst โข Paper Veils, 300 Original Paintings, by Hubble Bubble on Jan 9, 2023 20:51:50 GMT 1, I actually used the word "print" also...so should I go self-flagellate myself, or should I just wait a bit for someone here to do it for me? See...I was just typing freely when I wrote "print" instead of writing what was on my mind which was "Damien Hirst's / Heni Primary's Paper Veils Oil Paintings on Card, Mounted on Birch Ply Frames, with Canvas Webbing Around the Edges" I won't make that mistake again...sorry about that language police. Please don't arrest me... yoss... I'm surprised to see your post. As far as I can see there was no criticism of any post you'd made (certainly not by me) and certainly no criticism or literary flagellation of any other person who'd made a similar post.
I think it's perfectly reasonable in an art forum such as this, where we meet to discuss content, artist, execution, style, and all other relevant issues that if a release from the world's most popular living artist is mistakenly described as an edition (or print) rather than an original (oil on paper as I understand it) then that mistake is gently corrected. It's certainly relevant to the discussion from the OP on the number of people who might be tempted to apply for the release, but also important as a print or edition could be an identical image created by a studio. However, with these originals not only are the images totally different but there is contemporaneous video evidence of Hirst himself creating them.
I think we all need to not be so uptight. There's an incredible amount of knowledge and warmth on this forum, albeit rather less than there used to be. Where you saw verbal aggression and a personal attack, I saw nothing other than a couple of members pointing out the error in description to another member (who seems to have taken no offence).
All best wishes HB

Damien Hirst โข Paper Veils, 300 Original Paintings, by Hubble Bubble on Jan 9, 2023 18:04:45 GMT 1, Anyone have an "in" with Heni Primary?? Just sitting here in Charlotte NC waiting patiently (impatiently maybe) for results from anyone selected by Heni for one of the Paper Veils...just wondering if anyone (or everyone) has been selected... Heni Primary said results "by" the end of January 2023. Hoping results come out earlier than the end of the month (and that I have been one of the lucky ones)!!!! mails will be sent out end of January. having the possibility to buy one of the bigger one will be a dream for me. can't figure how many application they received. I mean how many people are willing to spend 50 k for and edition of 100?? 1.000? 10.000? and I'm quite afraid to ask that question! Itโs not an edition, though. Each one is a unique painting. HB

Banksy โข frAGILE โข Legacy of War Foundation , by Hubble Bubble on Dec 23, 2022 13:41:26 GMT 1, I think the point he is making is that nothing in life is guaranteed and no art investment is truly safe. Rolf is a fair reference point as his art was expensive before he was charged. donโt be so precious, banksy could be a serial killer, no one knows him ๐๐ I understand (and understood) perfectly the point being made. I simply found it unnecessary and distasteful to compare someone to a convicted sex offender in order to make the point you managed to elucidate without a similar comparison. If that makes me precious, then so be it. Anyway... don't want to fall out with anyone... was just speaking my mind as was the OP. Merry xmas.

Banksy โข frAGILE โข Legacy of War Foundation , by Hubble Bubble on Dec 23, 2022 13:06:28 GMT 1, It's not really a heartwarming story is it when they clearly have 5k to spend on a print. I know its not really gambling but Banksy could be the next rolf harris no matter what the odds. Personally, I find that very distasteful. To cast aspersions on someone and suggest there's even the remotest possibility they might be a paedophile is borderline scandalous. HB

Damien Hirst โข The Currency Unique Prints, by Hubble Bubble on Dec 22, 2022 16:50:15 GMT 1, Mine has arrived and, I have to say, I'm happier with it than I thought I would be. My memories of it from the show weren't too strong but, as a unique signed print of 1000, I wanted to take the risk and was lucky enough to get one.
First impressions are that it is mahussive... way bigger than I'd remembered. A real wall filler. Framing will be a consideration that I'll have to ponder.
It's also vibrant, fun and good quality. The paper isn't as glossy as I remember it and the low gloss seems to somehow fit the fun of the spots. Just my opinion.
I'm pleased with my signature... it's clearly a Hirst and well positioned.
Yes, there were a few dinks in one of the edges at a particular part of the roll. They are, however, all but invisible from the front (pics below show a dink from the back and the print from the front) and I'm positive they will flatten. The dinks are disappointing but, for me, in no way affect my appreciation of the piece. I understand that others might not have been so lucky (if you can count receiving a slightly damaged print as being lucky).
So... just a short appraisal there. See for yourself in the pics below...

HELCH, by Hubble Bubble on Dec 20, 2022 22:48:51 GMT 1, Merry evening, Did anybody buy the Helch print from BSMT Space? Yes. Couldnโt resist as a first drop. Went for the black and white as I felt it brought out the colours in the H and also recreated the sprayed background of some of his street work. Havenโt opened yet but it arrived a couple of days ago. Looking forward to seeing it. HB

Sorry if I stepped in incorrectly, OP.

Damien Hirst โข Paper Veils, 300 Original Paintings, by Hubble Bubble on Nov 17, 2022 19:26:14 GMT 1, Losing out on exchange fees is your own problem. Everyone who purchases large amounts of art should have an internet bank account in addition to their regular bank account to minimize these fees. High street banks are rip-off merchants. I use Monzo as I am banned from Revolut. "minimise" fees is correct. In other words, you will still pay fees. Fees that any other UK gallery selling to UK residents you would not have to pay. But presumably this is small beer compared to a reduction in VAT from 20% to 5% due to it being imported original signed artwork? HB

Banksy STREET ART, by Hubble Bubble on Nov 7, 2022 11:10:18 GMT 1, Turning an item of combat into a child's plaything is pretty strong on the Banksy playbook. If it's not by him it's someone who has taken influence from his work and run with it (and done a good job). I like the boy's left arm. I'm not sure what I'm looking at with the wings - that one seems less like him on first glance imho The fingers on the boy's left hand are right out of the GWRB stencil book.
