Damaged print value question , by dwight on Apr 2, 2015 17:20:50 GMT 1, If that damage was on a Banksy it would lessen the value by $10 any other artist it would be 50%. Always hate to see damage due to s**tty framing skills. I don't think the damage is caused by the framing as much as by unframing by someone who knows nothing about removing hinges. There's a proper way to remove hinges and to reverse the mount, but if the person who removes it tries to remove the hinges manually, there is usually paper loss.

new series of Book Covers released by Faile, April 2, 2015, by dwight on Apr 2, 2015 17:16:59 GMT 1, Not all sold out in minutes that's a 1st Was going to go for the patches but at 50$ plus Taxes for Europe I changed my mind They don't show sold out, but if you add to your cart and click checkout, then it says they are unavailable. I haven't been able to get anything to checkout.

Im guessing this will be another F4 event trying to refresh right when they become available to try to get one.

new series of Book Covers released by Faile, April 2, 2015, by dwight on Mar 31, 2015 17:38:25 GMT 1, I do like these covers, and they always sell out instantly....but I still would rather buy a nicer faile on the secondary market for the money. Anyone agree with me on that?

Your latest Art Purchase?, by dwight on Mar 18, 2015 19:28:52 GMT 1, Is that Dave Kinsey??? I always wondered who ended up with that canvas. Own a few Kinsey originals myself that I have really loved for many years.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by dwight on Mar 18, 2015 19:27:39 GMT 1, This is actually the reason why I signed up for UAA, was to respond to craigf's FS for this print, and to whom I should thank for being able to own an old school Faile piece (my first and only). While it's the first thing I purchased here, it took a few weeks to sort out the logistics and to get framed by my framer Rooq. But I'm super happy with the results, raised float in shadow box. My usual OCD method for putting up stuff on walls is to use painter's tape to measure out location. I've had this wall saved for this piece the whole time. Killer Agreed. Killer work. Well done man.

new mr brainwash - imanigation, by dwight on Mar 18, 2015 19:20:38 GMT 1, The prevailing Stateside view is that Brainwash is the US' equivalent of Banksy. Thierry will run and run... MBW is a joke here....I'm surprised he isn't with with the other Lab Art joke artists like "alec monopoly"...

Bast does Marc Jacobs., by dwight on Mar 10, 2015 23:12:56 GMT 1, I wish there would be some prints available...It seemed like there might be some when the website got revised, but nothing yet.

Price Check on Banksy Posters , by dwight on Mar 9, 2015 19:26:30 GMT 1, I'm guessing there are unlimited quantities available now from china since anyone with the right printer setup can make indistinguishable reproductions. Perhaps if you have a receipt there may be some value, but I wouldn't expect them to rise in value.

Faile Flag • Star Spangled Shadows Print, by dwight on Feb 18, 2015 5:22:19 GMT 1, Neither of those come close to the image quality of star spangled shadows...in my opinion You're joking? The flag is pretty basic looking to me. The other 2 are classic Faile, with tons of hand painting and screened layers. Each to their own I guess. I'd gladly trade the confessions I have for a flag. It's just a better image.

Faile Flag • Star Spangled Shadows Print, by dwight on Feb 17, 2015 17:08:59 GMT 1, Seems high when you could buy Fight Vanity or My Confessions for around £600 each... They're smaller editions and just a big too! Funny old world. Neither of those come close to the image quality of star spangled shadows...in my opinion

Faile Flag • Star Spangled Shadows Print, by dwight on Feb 17, 2015 16:37:45 GMT 1, It's a big edition, but I rarely see them. If anyone knows of a cheaper one, let me know. I've been watching to buy one for a while too.

Bast FRAMED, by dwight on Feb 4, 2015 16:45:37 GMT 1, I grabbed it as soon as I saw it. I've been looking for one for almost seven years and wasn't going to loose it. Probably good that you did. I think I would have been a buyer on this as well. Really strong Bast and good price too. Glad you got it since you've wanted it for so long.

PINS at Allouche, by dwight on Dec 24, 2014 1:46:26 GMT 1, Just wanted to follow up and let everyone know that Allouche took care of the whole thing with no problems. I'm returning the damaged print and getting an alternate number from the edition. I usually don't mind some handling marks especially with the bast and faile stuff because a lot of it is roughed up during production, but this seemed like a print which condition would matter....i'm planning to frame it in maple and put it with my b/w signed trolleys.
Anyway, all clear. Allouche was extremely nice about it. If anyone else had this issue with their pins shipment, I'd be interested to know.

PINS at Allouche, by dwight on Dec 23, 2014 22:28:13 GMT 1, The shipment was poor. They took a piece of tissue paper and folded it over the print before rolling it. This made the fold on the rolling edge....so when rolled the tissue puckered on that end with every roll. I hate being picky, but this is negligent damage. No reply as of yet from Allouche.

PINS at Allouche, by dwight on Dec 23, 2014 21:51:15 GMT 1, Got my PINS print today and of course....it has significant handling damage. Was extremely excited to get the print and I love the image. I am not picky about light handling creases or marks, but this is just sloppy. Someone grabbed the inside corner of the roll to make it fit in the tube and just didn't care about what happened to the print. I've emailed Allouche gallery about it and am waiting to hear back.
What do you guys think? I'd like some feedback on what others would do..
