Graffiti Prints archive vaults open today, by damo on May 4, 2017 13:51:12 GMT 1, In my opinion, in addition to several beautiful classic prints by Martin Whatson, the gem there is the black edition of Kunstrasen's "Fighting a Blank Paper"!
Yep, although the spot remover is also a good price for a great print imho.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by damo on Apr 26, 2017 20:27:44 GMT 1, I just picked up a new Brooklyn Wheelan from Nelly Duff. Pre sale was supposed to be Friday so not sure why they are up tonight. If you are looking for something wall friendly though... tbh i do like his stuff but this purchase is a pure 'art police' calming measure in prep for a few bits i've my eye on (that she'll hate!)

Some really useful stuff in here for our trip next month and, imho, your trip (alongside others who've been so generous to post re their visits) feels like it really encapsulated the whole point, of the entire exercise! So excited to be going soon myself. Thanks again.

, by damo on Apr 14, 2017 12:58:06 GMT 1, Reports of a young British woman being killed by a (reported) terrorist in Jerusalem this morning. These things can happen anywhere now, unfortunately, but as others have already stated if you are visiting for the Hotel (we are next month) travel carefully. Sad news to start the weekend with.

, by damo on Mar 22, 2017 14:11:17 GMT 1, Just on my way back from Israel. Had an incredible trip, great people, food and sights but, make no mistake the area is still very volatile. There were gun shots and tear gas fired less than 400m from the walled off hotel today. Up until the point my eyes were streaming and my throat burning I had felt very safe. Go if you can, but be under no illusions.
I may not pass this useful info onto my wife, she's at limits of her comfort zone agreeing to go with me in May as it is.. Tbf they are allowing 72hour cancellations which is reasonable and allows for plan B's if issues escalate at any point.
Out of interest SuperMick is there any detail anywhere re the tours they are offering with the bookings? Did you take up one of the Walled Off 'official' ones?

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by damo on Mar 20, 2017 13:38:48 GMT 1, Just had confirmation that there is going to be no online presence for the shop at all. Its about to physically open but won't have anything online. Shame but makes the visit even more exciting from a personal perspective. Whilst I feel that seems increasingly likely, where did your confirmation come from if you don't mind me asking? From the hotel reception, i simply emailed them and asked.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by damo on Mar 20, 2017 10:29:35 GMT 1, Has anyone seen anything to suggest the shop is actually going to be online? Pics from Insta suggest the hotel shop is 'just' selling cans and masks, as the faq's had suggested. I think first paying guests are in today so shop opening may simply be in relation to when they can check in and not online at all?

, by damo on Mar 10, 2017 23:11:13 GMT 1, So, does anyone have any views/tips re bookings opening up tomorrow morning? I can't get over there (money allowing) until June so i am thinking that booking is a possibility. They may enforce a 2 night stop over at weekends (which would mess my plans up tbh but hey ho) and a midweek stay will be a prob for me (kids, pesky bloody kids). On the one hand I think I've every chance of getting in (by missing Spring rush) but on the other i am thinking, 10 rooms x 52 weekends = FA chance. Pricing may rule me out of a stay anyway (i'm taking the wife and she's agreed to visiting the West Bank, i feel that to now suggest bunk beds would be taking the piss!) but we will still travel regardless as having read up on it all week i need to get over there. I don't think i've been this excited about a show/event in a very long time.
So does anyone have any guesses as to how/if the booking process will work?

Conor Harrington Transformer, by damo on Mar 10, 2017 19:11:29 GMT 1, Pretty sure you'll make at least your low estimate on this (I've had similar offers for mine) but as a sales thread you've taken a fairly aggresive start position there. I know the forum can be a bit tetchy at times, re pricing, but it's Friday night, chill out. You look like you're trying to start an argument in an empty room. It's a great print, sell it on its merits.

, by damo on Mar 8, 2017 0:41:34 GMT 1, Im planning on going, currently selling a few prints to fund trip with the wife but will probably have to wait till June to get out. Will take some planning but i've got a 5 day trip in mind which I think will be amazing (Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Dead Sea, etc). Always fancied going and Banksy has provided the motivation in 48 hours that the Catholic church failed to do in 42 years!
Ive read more on the whole occupation issue (from both sides of the argument) this week than id ever done before. If that is the purpose, then the exercise has surely worked.

Framing - off the shelf, by damo on Dec 19, 2016 17:07:20 GMT 1, Does anyone know of a source of off-the-shelf frames in non standard sizes? Ive a couple of gifts I've bought for Xmas and left it too late for online ordering/cut to size (from what I can tell). The prints are low cost so i was looking for something cheapish just to present them in really. Anyone know of anywhere London based that might be able to help? Sizes i'm after are 42cm x 42cm and 51cm x 77cm.
Thanks in advance

Conor Harrington โข Transformer, by damo on Dec 14, 2016 18:31:11 GMT 1, Appreciate that I may get shot down for this (and everyone is fed up with this thread) but ....
I am looking to swap Transformer for H&S. I had to let former go (long story but trust me i had good reason) but got lucky again yesterday. My view is that if displaying two then Transformer contrasts brilliantly with either of the first two, but if displaying in isolation (as my cash flow is enforcing) then the first two are stronger (clearly if wall space allows all 3 up is the nirvana!). Let me know if interested, and if even suggesting it causes offence then i apologise. Im not too bothered re long term values i am just keen to get H&S back. Would need to be a handover in London. Ta

Hip Hop Evolution (Netflix), by damo on Dec 9, 2016 11:25:55 GMT 1, tip? you on point, tip? ;-) all the time phifeย Don't wanna spoil but the Tribe is not even mentioned in the documentary. Kinda surprised me.
I think it was just timing and the desire to follow one narrative from the birth of the scene. I do feel it is well positioned for a follow up covering the 90's+ in full (Tribe, Tupac, Biggie, Jay-Z, etc, etc, and probably culminating with Eminem and Kanye) though. That's when everything went truly global/dominated all strands of culture. Although I suspect it becomes a challenge then as the story doesnt realistically follow a single arc, it effectively splintered into all sorts of directions.
I do think it's a culture that is almost unmatched in terms of how far it has reached/how deeply it's influenced. Only comparable with Rock n Roll on that basis, to my mind.

Hip Hop Evolution (Netflix), by damo on Dec 8, 2016 18:42:43 GMT 1, Just caught this 4 episode doc on Netflix. Covers from the birth of rap in New Yorks 1970's through to Gangsta Rap movement and release of Dre's Chronic in '92. Also touches (briefly) on Keith Harings role in taking Grandmaster flash downtown in the very early years. Well worth a few hours of time tbh.
