Charming Baker "Sweet Nothing" Sotheby's Gallery S2, by nighthawk on Apr 16, 2016 15:24:59 GMT 1, It's Sotheby's. Most of their clientele just inherited their money; they don't know what work is.
Lol

Seth Globepainter 🇨🇵 Julien Malland • Paris Street Art, by nighthawk on Apr 13, 2016 18:13:06 GMT 1, Again, open up Paypal disputes people! See what happened when someone did - they got immediate responses from Mae. That shouldn't be what it takes to get them to return an email, but apparently is!!
They have no business, conducting business (solely from what I've read here) the way they have, up to this point. Case in point - "Most of the prints are fine, just a couple with some acrylic paint". Another HUGE red flag!
Such a shame, as SETH's work is great, and there is so little of it out there to purchase.

Seth Globepainter 🇨🇵 Julien Malland • Paris Street Art, by nighthawk on Apr 12, 2016 4:43:25 GMT 1, All off you who purchased a wood edition should open a PayPal dispute, and then close it when you are happy with your piece. Just common sense at this point, and I'd imagine the 180 day PayPal window is coming up, no!? I inquired a month ago, and was told that the woods were ready to ship that week! The fact that these are still not shipped is ridiculous. This is seriously one of the worst print sales I have ever seen.

Eelus 3D Lenticular "Not Everything Is So Black & White", by nighthawk on Mar 31, 2016 17:25:50 GMT 1, Same after any high profile drop really! Some make it out unscathed, while others get stuck in the mud! At least everyone had a chance at this one, unlike others (how about lining up for a whole day re: last Stik release and missing), or the ever popular lottery! You can't win them all, and I'm sure quite a few folks here have won often, so really have nothing to complain about
No excuse to not get the email (if that's really the case), but who knows, that could be your own internet/email server not delivering.
At the end of the day, this was a VERY WANTED print, so yes, there's going to be A LOT of angry people complaining how "unfair" it all is. C'est la vie folks!
I also grabbed a postcard set, so thanks for the heads up!

I only know of one gallery, that absolutely won't pre-sell, and I haven't seen or heard to the contrary.

Seth Globepainter 🇨🇵 Julien Malland • Paris Street Art, by nighthawk on Mar 30, 2016 17:03:17 GMT 1, The print will be the print! If you like Seth's work, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. In fact the only thing that Mae seems to have done right here, was reprint the print, when it appeared to not be up to par.
The way they released the print has been terrible! Running a limited edition timed-release, and then somehow having an extra 20+ prints from the release, not to mention charging almost 50% more for those ones?? I'd ask a big WTF is going on here had I bought.
I'll also echo past members on saying that when I inquired about the HF versions, my emails were IMMEDIATELY responded to, and I even got follow up emails. So to not answer inquiries from those who have already purchased something, says a lot about how MAE likes to treat their clients; poorly!

Fanakapan 🇬🇧 Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale , by nighthawk on Mar 29, 2016 17:42:15 GMT 1, Personally, I think the silver works well for the image. Not that the gold is bad or anything, but when you see them side-by-side like that, the silver stands out more for me.

Martin Whatson Release - Zero Tolerance, by nighthawk on Mar 28, 2016 15:10:21 GMT 1, 'Zero Tolerance' is a 28 colour screenprint, and is roughly 24" x 40" in size?!?! That one looks quite stunning IMO. One of Martin's strongest pieces to-date, without a doubt.
I think there's probably quite a few people trying to keep the hype down on this one, in hopes of picking one up on the cheap, if they don't hit on the lottery.

Sandra Chevrier • La cage et la dignité, by nighthawk on Mar 16, 2016 16:56:58 GMT 1, Honestly, if $95 is a deal breaker for people, I'd say those people shouldn't be spending the money at all.
James Jean is releasing ANOTHER timed edition, (seems to be all he does these days), and again, it's $200 + shipping etc. Let's see how "pissed" people get over this one

Sandra Chevrier • La cage et la dignité, by nighthawk on Mar 15, 2016 19:08:00 GMT 1, And right back to my original point: it's hard to think that $100 bucks (this is the amount that almost everyone feels she went over by), or about 60 quid, has everyone's knickers in a bunch! Other comparable artists sell their timed editions for $200 or so, and their limited edition lower run drops, are normally cheaper than Sandra's by...you guessed it, about $100. Nobody ever complains about their timed editions and they sell over 1000 editions.
You don't think that her and JP thought this out a bit beforehand?

Sandra Chevrier • La cage et la dignité, by nighthawk on Mar 15, 2016 15:31:09 GMT 1, i'll regret opening this can of worms. But as a free painting artist. ie. give any artists in the scene a blank canvas and some paint brushes and some paint.. and i think she stands up very well. i really dont know anymore what artists out there are free painting.. vs computer images, hired help, assistants, etc, etc. Sandra seems very talented to me. is she riding one pony too long? who knows... that miro guy filled a whole career of squiggles. sera, katz, sultan, baechler, the list would go on... of artists that rode a theme for a good long while.. good / bad// who knows. Very well said daveart! Sandra is one well of a talented artist. Whether you like her style or work or not, is a whole other matter.

Sandra Chevrier • La cage et la dignité, by nighthawk on Mar 9, 2016 18:44:44 GMT 1, I disagree. I'd say the open edition is not necessarily to grow a fan base, but to provide for an already existing one, which is what she is doing! And again, it's not priced THAT high. Look at similar artists and their timed editions, and you'll see that most are within $100 of one and other.
