are we all going crazy., by nixon451 on May 21, 2008 19:01:38 GMT 1, The bit that's getting to me is the fact that some newer artists and some not so new but equally as s**t artists seem to be jumping on the cash cow and releasing sub-standard prints and non-imaginative work at over inflated prices because the whole "urban art" scene seems to be on an up. All this will do is make the nicer stuff that more people like, even more expensive. ยฃ250 for a cartrain anyone??? Spend a few years building a fan base with some good work before you bow to the almighty dollar! I think all of us here have established that cartrain is not jumping on this cash cow you talk about, and i have been working now on street art for the past 3 years this is the first time i have ever sold anything with a gallery and i stand by the price of ยฃ250 i think its good value for money
You are wrong.

Cartrain ๐ฌ๐ง Tate Gallery โข Damien Hirst โข Gilbert & George, by nixon451 on May 19, 2008 18:23:13 GMT 1, Cartrain, I think 100artworks has seriously damaged you with their aggressive pricing, and the decision to make these an edition of five, and not one offs. I am not sure what I would do if I were you, but I think a lot of the criticism here, really belongs to 100artworks.

Cartrain ๐ฌ๐ง Tate Gallery โข Damien Hirst โข Gilbert & George, by nixon451 on May 16, 2008 15:09:34 GMT 1, I usually try and steer clear of negative comments - opting with the 'nothing nice to say don't say it at all attitude' however, feel there is a need for constructive criticism. The kid may have some talent, but let's not over-state this. A long way to go in improving and perhaps a deal to sell canvasses for him should have come a little further down the line. I certainly don't think these are anywhere good enough to be sold/touted at ยฃ250 a pop. You see the difference in quality when you look at these and Grafter's 'charity' canvas. And before you tell me how old Cartrain is, it's irrelevant now that he/galleries are saying he's good enough to compete with others and sell pieces at these prices.
Well said. This is a far better post than what I was going to write.

Vandal Airways Framing, by nixon451 on Apr 30, 2008 19:02:59 GMT 1, I'd like something like this: Of course i'd have to get my hands on an actual print first! :-) This is my favorite so far. I wouldn't go to heavy on the blue. It's about the print not the frame.
YES!
I will never understand the British fascination with white frames.

Patrick Thomas Show Announced, by nixon451 on Mar 3, 2008 22:10:29 GMT 1, A special date has been set for Patrick Thomas's London show at Nelly Duff. October 9th 2008 is an important date for Patrick as it falls on the 51st anniversary of Che Guevara's death in 1967. Patrick was part of the 50th anniversary show at the V&A with his 'American Investment in Cuba' work. Incredibly the date also falls on the birthday of John Lennon who has been another major subject for Patrick's artwork with his series of work titled 'Kalashnikovs and Rickenbackers', the Rickenbacker was the guitar John Lennon was famous for playing and the Kalashnikov was the weapon he was killed so untimely with... Patrick is a great talent and we are really looking forward to the show...
I assume you are trying to say Che Guevara was killed with a Kalashnikov, but it read as John Lennon was killed with a Kalashnikov, which he was not.

FOR SALE: Mantis....All Fall Down, by nixon451 on Aug 10, 2007 15:30:28 GMT 1, Mose - Many of your points are very well made and I must say eloquently put. Most of the sickening feelings of anticipation I have felt whilst waiting for a new piece of art to arrive, a feeling that turns into one of euphoria I associate with the originals I have purchased (DFace, Faile, Borf, Small, Denning, Brookes) Personally I am with CBL on the AFD. I missed the hype completely yet liked the print enough to buy it on the secondary market. I would have been able to post pictures of it framed this evening accept good old Night Freight smashed the custom acrylic frame I had made for it.
Do you mind if I ask which original Borf you have?

I have always been interested in arrows also! funny how alot of graf in the 80s/90s featured arrows as a nice way of finishing letters...what is it with arrows? well, maybe you can have a look at the thread about the arrows in the flickr group : www.flickr.com/groups/jefaerosol
Or perhaps you could just tell us what is up with the arrows.
