New SNIK release : Serenity - July 26, by kapusta on Jul 24, 2018 16:05:40 GMT 1, Not seeing a "fella in a dress" at all. These comments are pretty cringy, IMO. Ya'll have some extremely high expectations of femininity...
I quite like this one, particularly the gold leaf. They should have removed the background layer when printing on bronze though.

Hush new release Poise, by kapusta on May 18, 2018 21:34:01 GMT 1, I'm ready to see more evolution in Hush's work. It's getting repetitive and feeling stale, and this print isn't pushing the boundaries at all. It's arguably a step back.

Graffiti Prints archive vaults open today, by kapusta on May 6, 2018 16:27:04 GMT 1, Im really surprised that people are paying these prices, so many are available for less already on the open market - its the "GP Fever" factor! A lot of GP followers probably have deep pockets and don't know any better. Also, they'd rather throw money at the source than a "flipper"

D*Face Show in Paris, by kapusta on Apr 20, 2018 17:41:02 GMT 1, I'm almost surprised how little attention this print release received. If it was released a few years ago, this tread would be over 10 pages by now. Seems boredom is setting in.
Overall, I enjoy Dface's work but I wasn't sad to miss this one. IMO, Suck Face and Bend Embrace are more visually interesting than this. Maybe trimming off the legs with a more interesting crop or drips would have elevated it.

Fin Dac ๐ฎ๐ช Finbarr Notte โข New Print Release , by kapusta on Apr 16, 2018 18:51:36 GMT 1, we dont have a pre order list said it many times we emailed fin's small list of friends and special collectors, then we emailed all the people who had emailed us about the print. we did some insta photos when he was up hand finishing them, all the email we got from that were stored and we sent a pre order email to all those people. that way we only email people who are interested and don't spam anyone. I am interested and would pre order, sorry I didn't ask about the print so now I am apparently not as interested and have a smaller chance to buy a piece i have waited months for. If you want everyone to message you about every print in order to be noticed as interested in order to make your releases fair for all, then we can all oblige. Surely everyone interested will buy at release, if people are not interested they won't buy it. Those asking and hoping for a presale are probably those most likely to flip as they want to increase the chance to buy one. Those who love his work will pay the flipped price as they love it. Not sure GP have their priorities right. Also just messaged them about a way to buy prints for free on their site and they jusy said "no idea what youre on about" without even testing it and thanking me... and as we all know people use bots to buy their releases as they are using shopify and bots are easy to come by for shopify. Could build a fairer and bot free store myself if anyone is interested. GP has been operating this way for a long time and it's pretty well known at this point. If this is news to you, then now you're aware for future releases.
I, and many other collectors here and elsewhere, have taken part in pre-sales through GP and have sold ZERO of those prints, so don't make bold assumptions about the collector base purchasing via pre-orders.
There's more of a correlation between bot users being flippers vs. pre-sales buyers, hence GP's ongoing battle against the bots.

D*Face Show in Paris, by kapusta on Apr 12, 2018 18:49:05 GMT 1, Will likely have to wait for the aftermarket to die down but I'm expecting to have to pay around ยฃ1k easily for one of those prints if they don't release online - it's his best for years. Way to shoot yourself in the foot with overhype. Flippers take note...

Martin Whatson โข Connection Print, by kapusta on Mar 28, 2018 15:43:01 GMT 1, There may be a message, but it's not visually appealing like Dancer, Tiger, Behind the Curtain, etc. Not crazy about the "stencil" on this one.

Z SNIK & MARTIN WHATSON โ "WE ARE ALL FALLING" Nr. 17/25, by kapusta on Mar 15, 2018 19:19:32 GMT 1, IMO, this is still the best Snik X Whatson print collab. souls apart says you are wrong. this image doesn't even hold a candle to the detail of snik's work on souls apart Souls Apart is great too, but I find the image & tagging/splatter effects on this one much more effective. It's very kinetic, yet motionless. Overall, I find this one more visually engaging even if it's not the most detailed.

New Pose Print?, by kapusta on Feb 6, 2018 16:54:19 GMT 1, I'm a huge Pose fan, been collecting his prints since the first Blot release, but I'm not a fan of him re-releasing previous pieces in new colorways.
IMO, he needs to slow down his release schedule and stop the reprints. He's got so many pieces to choose from, why revisit old stuff?

Artists who you have commissioned , by kapusta on Jan 17, 2018 21:56:26 GMT 1, I commissioned a piece from Michael Reeder last year. Reached out at the perfect time before he got busy with shows in the second half of the year. Looks like his pieces are getting scooped up quickly now, so I'm fortunate to have worked directly with him.
Michael's the nicest, most accommodating guy. He's very open & honest and receptive to direction. Personally, I offered some initial thought-starters on what I like in his pieces and let him have fun with it. Loved the result

Pejac - "Untouchable", by kapusta on Jan 3, 2018 19:29:03 GMT 1, If meant to be a serious piece, it's uninspired compared to Meadow. But as a sketch, it's fine. Nothing wrong with revisiting an idea, but it doesn't appear fleshed out and not nearly as clever.
