JJ Adams 🇬🇧 Print Release • Exhibition • Art For Sale, by dodsi on Apr 24, 2015 22:12:40 GMT 1, Who is or isn't buying his work for whatever reason is not particularly important really. Does everyone who owns a banksy print really buy it because they love the image portrayed or are there alternative motives like \that\ it is a Banksy or that it \is\ a good investment? Are all of the images by pure evil super complicated and could any if us drawn them with a box of crayola crayons and a sheet of heavy paper?
There is great variety in JJ's work from pop art to screen prints and digital images of many subject matters and not juysdt tattoo covered royals and celebrities.
Bedsides, said it already but I like the accessibility and subject matters of some of the images like star wars and all the super nerdy references all over them.
Its easy to say its easy and anyone could do the things he has done but the fact is they didn't in the same way he did and carries on to do.
If it turns out to be a flash in the pan I will care not as I have a select few images that are personal to me, far from cost a lot of money and I will enjoy them for years to come.

JJ Adams 🇬🇧 Print Release • Exhibition • Art For Sale, by dodsi on Apr 24, 2015 15:34:32 GMT 1, The thing is, you don't have to like it - but I feel it is very accessible art that is very wall friendly. Some friends of mine like certain pieces I have, some have gone out and purchased pieces after seeing mine. Others really don't like it, I am not a fan of the Kate Middleton piece which we own but my wife loves it - it does have a very calming and serene look to it but it's really not for me. I agree that there is a lot of images that are really not to my taste but speaking to other fans of JJ there are plenty of people who really like these images.

JJ Adams 🇬🇧 Print Release • Exhibition • Art For Sale, by dodsi on Apr 24, 2015 13:19:15 GMT 1, He has released screen prints and giclee prints.
"Originals" can be hand finished Giclee on canvas then hand embellished with various media but some are Oil on canvas (like the british branded R2D2's)
The work can be diverse and interesting with incredible attention to detail. My personal favorite is the first one I purchased "Wizard of Oz" which is not a particularly rare or valuable piece of his work (and I own a few way rarer and more valuable pieces of his work) but the way it has been done and the references to many other subjects I find just captivating.
I realize that haters are gonna hate, but I am taken in by the work (rightly or wrongly).
edited with examples of Pop/Comic Film & Screen prints

Your latest Art Purchase?, by dodsi on Apr 24, 2015 7:19:46 GMT 1, Finally managed to collect my second piece from JJ Adams new collection. 'Time traveller' the back to the future film came out the day I was born and I was lucky enough to secure no 85!

Your latest Art Purchase?, by dodsi on Apr 22, 2015 14:20:35 GMT 1, We have both a Leia and a Kate in Colour (matching numbers too) By JJ Adams, lovely images. I have a small collection of his work and have just purchased two more and received the free screen print for queuing. There are some really great images but a lot do not do anything for me. His work is very cool, his prices are going crazy at the moment. There is a tattoo Queen on ebay that looks like it going to go over £4000 before the auction ends. I missed the boat on the Leia print. That's the one I would like to own. The Leia print is nice, mine is not hung at the moment due to the quantity of pictures I have and the lack of hanging space I do not. But that's going to change this evening when I swap some stuff around to hang my most recent purchase which means taking a set of 4 down. When we move into a house this situation should improve! You Could still strike lucky with a Leia as they have recently been on eBay at not much over cost. There is a B&W one for about £700 at the moment. If I was to part with mine the price would be very different for a genuine collector than a "collector".

Your latest Art Purchase?, by dodsi on Apr 22, 2015 11:58:17 GMT 1, No its the finished piece, infact there is a colour version as well. Been following JJ Adams for a while but first piece. Strangely difficult to get hold of. The diana version sold at auction recently and caused a bit of fuss. Nice pick up. I'm a fan of his work and really like the tattoo series, especially the Princess Leia. I just don't get the big price tag attached to his work. £3500 for the colour Diana print seems crazy to me.

JJ Adams 🇬🇧 Print Release • Exhibition • Art For Sale, by dodsi on Mar 28, 2015 21:26:55 GMT 1, There are some great images, I had never bought art before seeing the Wizard of oz print with my now wife and now I have multiple pieces by JJ and a 1\1 pure evil. Its art for the masses, its really accessible and super geeky. Admittedly not every image is strong but that's surely just a taste thing.

Cat... Consider your thread hijacked - even though there is a JJ Adams new release thread in UK artist section.

The time traveller is a stunning print, as was the dance with the devil 2 and I liked the mind grenade.
On subject cat, there is a colour queen on eBay but the seller is asking 3k starting bid which is very steep!

There was a delorean which sold out immediately, the droids playing poker was cool but a little too "man cave" for my wife. Very tough to judge as it was so mad.

JJ Adams 🇬🇧 Print Release • Exhibition • Art For Sale, by dodsi on Mar 25, 2015 19:46:30 GMT 1, I really like his work and not all his work is giclee prints, I have a lovely set of the screen printed stamps which we have just purchased as a wedding present to ourselves. The gallery and publisher really pulled out the stops to get me exactly what I wanted. This involved the publisher pulling them back from a different gallery that was not associated with the one i was buying from then removing from the frames, getting the artist to slightly change them by writing something on each one then reframing at my wifes request into white frames. I really don't think these guys have dubious selling techniques that is awesome customer service from all parties.
With regards to taking influence from other artist's? What's wrong with that? You would not have a Nissan skyline / Subaru impreza / Mitsubishi Evo without an Audi Quattro before them just because the old one is a classic doesn't detract from the modern cars greatness.
I appreciate there is some very dubious reseller's of his work and they often appear straight on eBay after release which is a massive shame and does create a falsely inflated market but it looks like its settling down and JJ himself is not exactly happy with this going on.

Has a set been offered to you and if so for how much?
edit: this makes it sound like I would be offering mine up - to be clear I am not!!!

I'm really interested to see what will be coming!

JJ Adams 🇬🇧 Print Release • Exhibition • Art For Sale, by dodsi on Mar 18, 2015 21:45:54 GMT 1, So, the next JJ release is barely more than a week away. Personally getting very excited as to what will be coming and what there will be.
Is there any other fans out there eagerly anticipating this?
Some big things happening with the RR auction thing but I doubt there would be a Rolls Royce print in the collection.

I don't think people flipping his work is unique to JJ, I had never purchased a piece of art until seeing his Wizard of Oz in a local gallery then buying it as an engagement present for me and the lady some weeks later. Then when picking that up saw the R2D2 and being a total nerd had to have that too. I feel it's very accessible art for plebs like me - but the popularity appears to be increasing.
A lot if the favourite artists on here I don't see the fuss about either but there appears to be a bit of snobbery around 'high street' art.

Not quite sure why people have such a dislike for JJ’s work?

Why are so many prints unframed?, by dodsi on Jan 13, 2015 18:41:47 GMT 1, HA! Well said OP. "Football cards for adults and eventually we all end up with a pile of swapsies" Only if you're buying doubles That or you start swapping for that elusive Manchester United 'shiney' and have to give up your Eric Cantona, Paul Scholes and Ryan giggs. I'm telling you I have still not forgiven Shaun Darbyshire for that.
