JASON ZENGA - Kaws Running Chum Silkscreen Set - darkcity, by sin on Jul 17, 2016 16:36:52 GMT 1, Having chased money before, there are some key points to consider.
1. The OP lost $1,000. Any legal action (even if he lived in MA) would be $2500 to proceed with AND the person has to have asset to attack. Jason has no assets, at least not in his name and no corporate in his name that he is putting them on. He is for all intents and purposes judgment proof. To be frank, I'd bet Jason either does this to cover living expenses or he has a vice of some sort.
2. Police don't care. Yes it's fraud, yes it's over state lines (for the US cases). Yes it could be prosecutable. However unless you know a cop in the area and likely know a DA in the area, nothing is going to happen. It's functionally your word against his and the police will want nothing to do with it. Drugs, Terrosism, that's all that you could make this about to get them to move. Someone stole over 1,000,000 of data from me and only because I know city officials and cops in my local area was I able to get the guy carted out of his office in cuffs. Even with that, the DA didn't want to touch the case.
3. Hypothetically the best way to handle this is some baseball bat justice. I'm not suggesting or advocating such and action.

Do you collect Sculptures?, by sin on Jul 11, 2016 22:29:10 GMT 1, I was on a trip to Gainesville, Florida. A friend brought me out to visit the studio of William Schaaf. William is best known for his sculpture work.
This particular bronze piece has editions in a number of museums. A bit outside my price range but really beautiful.
Unlike most art, they are actually meant to be touched (though the museums dont let people, which he wishes they would)
Untitled by Craig ONeil, on Flickr
I specifically enjoyed his paintings. Untitled by Craig ONeil, on Flickr
This is the clay mold for the above bronze
Untitled by Craig ONeil, on Flickr
And we took home a little fetish, his sculpture subjects are almost entirely horses. Great guy. Completely outside my norm, but loved it.

Brand new print by Faith47 released at Wunderkammern!, by sin on Jun 29, 2016 20:07:31 GMT 1, if you have been watching Faith's IG, she has been evolving her subjects over the last few months to more nude, erotic imagery. while this piece is a dramatic expanse of that, its been an evolution over months.

The next US President? Clinton or Trump, by sin on Jun 11, 2016 5:59:17 GMT 1, The clear best choice is Gary Johnson. Currently polling at 12%, and second with independents. 180 days, disgruntled democrats and republicans, we may finally have our chance.

Pokras Lampas, by sin on Jun 7, 2016 15:33:20 GMT 1, Feels really derivative.
Im not suggesting that using calligraphy is something that is unique and shouldnt be explored, but some of the elements here are clearly close to the line when it comes to Retna. Structurally exploring some of the same mandala type patterns Cryptic is most recognized for.
The use of calligraphy itself isnt a sin, there are 2 or 3 artists using arabic calligraphy that I can think of off the top of my head and they are rather easy to tell apart. Some of these I have serious trouble telling apart from other known artists, because the composition or script elements are copied from others.

New Os Gêmeos print, by sin on Jun 3, 2016 1:15:17 GMT 1, I went white box. I considered getting creative but I really wanted to let the piece stand on its own. I framed a revok print, a sainer print, and a etam print at the same time and blew 1700 bucks... ouch. If anyone goes another route on the Os Gemeos print I'd love to see it.

New Os Gêmeos print, by sin on Jun 2, 2016 21:10:59 GMT 1, Damn this thing is FIRE!
Personally, I could see people having trouble believing this is a print. Some parts of the print, especially where it comes to shading and areas in the separation in the hat, look and feel hand done.
Its really impressive.

Tapir - Dismal Book Artist, by sin on May 21, 2016 20:43:03 GMT 1, The works is s**t and meaningless. The craft itself is weak and the vision is pedestrian at best. Also, calling Warhol or Duchamp simple is beyond ridiculous and shows your glaring lack of knowledge of their work, its place in art history and the definition of simple. Also, f**k your book. I knew someone would do it, and think that its wack. Go monetize something else. For the record, having now looked at all the art presented on the website, I'd like to clarify that is even worse than I originally suggested. Seriously.

New Os Gêmeos print, by sin on May 18, 2016 21:54:28 GMT 1, I never said amateur artists are inherently bad (although many are). There is plenty of amateur work that is brilliant that will never be appreciated at all on a grand scale. From my experience, the "real" artists, the ones that truly dig deep to say something meaningful about themselves, the worls and the topics they explore, rarely if ever consider or assign monetary value to their work. Others generally do this, gallerists, collectors etc, but rarely if ever the artist. Urban artists on the other hand... there is a strata here.
i'll use 2 studio mates who I love and collect.
1. fits one end of the spectrum. not business focused. paints to explore his reality, our collective reality etc.
2. the other is absolutely a business person. he understand how to develop is career strategically. he understands how to seek out opportunity, price his work,etc.
neither is better or worse than the other. they are both great artists.

New Os Gêmeos print, by sin on May 18, 2016 20:26:25 GMT 1, its funny you say that because most not all collectors say they buy art as an investment. Im an artist and have been since i can remember. I live to paint I don't paint to live. many artist paint to live. A true artist will give you their work just for the appreciation of it. no matter how big his/her name is. I acquired a serious collection that way. My personal opinion buy what you like and try to establish a relationship with the artist you support. You acquire better and more original pieces that way. A real artist values his collectors more than he values his work. I agree with your assertion that many collectors buy for "investment" purposes, however misguided that may be, however, I do not agree with the fact that the mark of "true artist" is that they give their work away for free. For me, a true artist is one who separates the creation process from the monetization process. They are driven to create and they do so, sometimes experimenting wildly, without a care as to the saleability of the end product. If an artist feels strongly about their abilities within their chosen craft, they should value their time and commitment to their pursuit of expression. It may be situational bias, but the people I am close with, like me, buy for a different reason. Art is not an investment. If I was able to make back 1/2 of what I spent, but enjoyed the work while I had it, then thats more than I can hope for. I understand that other people see art as an investment, but its just never seemed enjoyable to me from that lens. I collect art because I love it. I am privileged to be able to do it and my only dream is to take all this work, build a museum around it and let other people enjoy these things, and learn about the movement that I love. If Im not going to sell it, why does the price ever really matter.
Cost of the work / number of days I reasonably have left on the planet / was it worth x to see it every day... then lets do it.
Once it gets up over $2K+ I start to add other variables, and I have a list of wants, but its never... well I believe the value will grow by x over the next period of time so ill buy it. Meh, seems shallow considering how important art is to me.

New Os Gêmeos print, by sin on May 18, 2016 19:35:04 GMT 1, I got one question will a print you spent 5K on that 99 other people own be worth anything in the next 5-10 years? and why spend that much money on a print oppossed to the original canvas? im not trying to offend anyone I just dont understand why would a person spend that much on piece of paper. question 1 no one know, no one ever knows, people guess, sometimes they are right and other times they are wrong. like gambling, if you are buying art with money you need, its probably the wrong place for you to spend money. do i personally think the twins are a safe enough bet, yes. i have my own set of rules for these decisions, however, since I rarely sell anything, the short term economic value doesnt mean a lot to me and the long term economic value to me isnt that big of a concern either.
there are a slew of prints that are worth far more now than they were 5 - 10 years ago. so the question here is would a print by the twins follow that trend. id say that it holding its value is likely, but as i said its speculation at best.
question 2. trust me, if i could afford a canvas by Os Gemeous Id buy one. However that ship has long sailed for me. Buying this print allowed me to have something by them, that I like, in my collection. i could buy originals by other artists for the same price, but ultimately, be it paper, canvas, etc, most art is worth in raw materials a slight slight fraction of its cost.
