DIY Framing, by docean on Dec 24, 2015 18:21:33 GMT 1, Here's one I recently made (the piece and the frame)
red in the lips is the same red on the frame. both sides of glass painted to give a 3D effect....can't tell from pic angle.

KUNSTRASEN "FIGHTING A BLANK PAPER" PRINT RELEASE, by docean on Dec 24, 2015 14:51:25 GMT 1, I'd argue this is far better than Lucio. At least there's an image, a purpose, etc.
Not just a canvas with a slash selling for $2.5 million...

Investing, by docean on Dec 20, 2015 17:41:15 GMT 1, the problem with that is scale. It's not worth my time to buy $15 bottles to sell for $30...sure the return % is high but how many bottles of beer could I really sell? I'd rather buy something for $10k and sell for $11k than 1000 things for $10/each and sell for $20/each.
I realize that was way over-complicated, but long story short I don't see the value in beer after you factor in time, effort, and scale. I'd rather just drink em haha

Investing, by docean on Dec 18, 2015 0:44:17 GMT 1, I work as a mortgage backed security trader so I'm pretty tired of the markets by the time I do individual investments.
Other than art I've made real estate investments. Wine & liquor markets are fickle...and there's too much room for fraud. Check out "The Billionaire's Vinegar" it's all about the fine wine market being riddled with fakes.
Guitars can be an ok investment, I've made money off of them but I think whatever you put your money into (and this has been mentioned before) it really just boils down to being very knowledgeable in that area. You can make money in just about anything if you know more than everyone else.

New Banksy - Calais, by docean on Dec 17, 2015 7:19:51 GMT 1, All of your art critiques are as deep as it gets. comparing stencil art in the street to realism is a huge lol, especially when the narrative is the most powerful message at an absolute perfect time in our lives. His platform is what matters, and he has power to bring issues to light with impeccable timing, much like Chris Rock, or Louis CK. he barks, we listen. Im going to say it, and its going to be hard so I hope everyone is sitting. Banksy's conceptual prowess have far outweighed his artistic ability since the beginning. Quite frankly, while I believe he is a celebrity artist and I love his contribution, he isnt very good at "art". him and his team are INCREDIBLY good at politics, and narrative. Youre telling me you actually like the artwork of WSM, Grannies, Flags, That jesus one, etc? Its the idea that carries it all forward, and the style is just "banksy". We know what we're getting. Sometimes he surprises us, Monkey Parliament, Dismaland, etc but the same old 15 year old style keeps resurfacing and as an entire body of work, artistically it really isnt that good. So, before anyone starts critiquing the work so simply, sit back and examine the piece in the context of human history, art history, and what it REALLY means for it to be sitting where it is. because you sound ridiculous. couldn't agree more. TM is visual garbage that looks like Microsoft Paint got a virus. I like most of his work for the message...the style is hit or miss.
it blows my mind how caught up everyone is on SJ's head...who cares? he's kind of leaning forward so if you allow yourself to forget it's a 2d piece for a moment it almost appears to have depth to it...imo (maybe I just need better glasses and some sleep)

Two new D*Face's en route to StolenSpace, by docean on Dec 17, 2015 6:51:42 GMT 1, I haven't got my Peace Gun yet (I'm in Miami) but after reading all of this I'm pretty nervous.
I planned on floating it so I'm really hoping there's no damage. I can't fathom what the issue is with rolling it to ship...how is this any better? I've never had any issues with a rolled print and I even emailed them asking them to ship mine that way. Turns out they were already packaged so they said no, but worth a shot.
Telling people to trim it is bad taste if you ask me.

Andy Warhol ๐บ๐ธ Real or Fake? โข Sunday B. Morning Print, by docean on Dec 14, 2015 0:20:23 GMT 1, ok so I went there and halfway through me taking pictures and notes one of the guys told me they had all of the Warhols online:
Here
The online prices seem higher than what I saw in there. if there's anything in particular you like let me know and I'll ask about it (I live 5 min away) and see what their best price is. They've worked with me before on other items so I'm sure you can negotiate on these.
Good luck, hopefully all of that helps.

I'm going there today to pick up something I got framed so if you want I can take some pics and put you in touch. They're pretty reasonable on price

ADAM NEATE, by docean on Dec 12, 2015 0:26:24 GMT 1, Lol trying to sell for 500 a month after you pick it up for 125 I bought the reg edition because I really liked the style, reminded me of a Lucio Fontana...had never even heard of Kunstrasen before (though I am fairly new to collecting) I think that's a little unfair. They were ยฃ150 I stand corrected. ยฃ500 seems much more reasonable now.

Inside Art Collectors Homes, by docean on Dec 10, 2015 2:00:14 GMT 1, Just finished scrolling through this entire thread...letting the depression sink in now.
I thought I did alright for myself but wow...how are you all affording these collections?
I'll post mine once I get my Snik and Chevrier back from the framer.

FS: Kaws- Portfolio Set of 3 Prints Snoopy, by docean on Dec 6, 2015 16:55:35 GMT 1, At first I thought this was trolling, but I don't mind this actually. Do you think the top art collectors of the world want to wait in line during a weekday at the chance to get this print? No. So, others waited in line and if they want to try to make money off of their waiting, that's fine with me. If it doesn't work out for them, that's a huge risk on their part. The top art collectors in the world arent waiting in line anywhere, and theyre also not buying this, or kaws at all really. I know plenty of high profile collectors who own Kaws...but you're right, they would never be waiting in line. Just make a few emails and you're set.
