Your latest Art Purchase?, by Flashback on Dec 19, 2016 17:05:54 GMT 1, Did you take a course on how to frame? I've been pondering on learning how to do it myself. Nah, just picked up info on YouTube and Google. I just order the frames and glass to size and mount the pieces myself. Normally use mounts with lineco strips but for any full bleeds, I will float with hinges. I have every Arqadia mount sample to test before ordering, but normally just go for whites. Go for it, much cheaper and at least you know how it's been framed. Sweet. I might try and test with hinges on different types paper without art on it first, before I buy frames etc just to be on the safe side!

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Flashback on Dec 18, 2016 16:22:21 GMT 1, My latest artbuy (Pose Blot Magenta) has been an absolute nightmare. Figured I'd post it here too to get some feedback.. This has been a framing job from hell for me so far. Took it to my framer the day I got it. Went with my regular black frame and chose to float it as I had done with him in the past. He was about to move to his new shop so I told him I could understand if it would take a little longer. He said no it'll be done in about two weeks like you are used to. I called after three, and finally it was done after four, no biggie. When I went to pick it up I was a bit rushed and I didn't notice it till I got home that he floated it so high I could look behind the print and see the foam, not only that but there were pencil marks too that you couldn't ignore. So a few days later, I went back and explained my problems. He said I was right and he would fix it. Two weeks later I went to pick it up again, the pencil marks were gone but I could still see the foam. I still wasn't satisfied and told him to fix it. That was three weeks ago. Last week a friend of mine went to pick up another print (not done) and he asked about mine, they were working on it, but they could only remove the print a couple of mm's a day. I was worried. So today my friend called, he was gonna pick up his print and asked if I wanted to tag along and see what's up with mine. So I asked the framer what the status of my print was and he said they were almost done. I asked why it took so long and if there wasn't any damage. He said they used double sided acid free tape, three horizontal lines in total and everything would be fine. I told him to call me when he was done removing the foamboard. While we were talking his wife triumphantly walked in and said she got it done. She said, see it's totally fine, I said yes but that's the front side, let me see the back. Needless to say I was shocked.. First she said that it was remnants of the foamboard and that she'd remove that too, when I said no that's the actual print she claimed this was perfectly normal practice when (re)framing, stating I've done this work for museums as well, told her I could hardly believe her and no museum would ever be ok with this. She wasn't going argue with me and told me to take it up with her husband. Luckily he was a bit more understanding and right away he told me to source a replacement and he would sort it with his insurancecompany. The worst is that I would have never known about this had I not come in today, they were never going to show me this. They were just going to reframe it and I would have only found out if and when I decide to resell it someday. There's a couple of options now, not sure what would be the thing to do. Anyone been in this position before? I had a very similar thing happen to two prints a few years ago, but had damage on the front too. One was a 1/1 so irreplaceable, but I told her the value and she was happy to pay. I actually wanted the 1/1 print, so offered her a small amount for the prints back and the two custom frames, so I could reframe one of them and use the other with a new print. She then closed her business a few weeks later. I have since only framed pieces myself. Did you take a course on how to frame? I've been pondering on learning how to do it myself.

Best pick up 2016 / Must have 2017, by Flashback on Dec 14, 2016 9:19:34 GMT 1, My favourite pick up this year. Next year I'd love to pick up an unsigned Banksy. Barcode or happy choppers but fear they are quickly becoming out of my reach. One of my favourite prints ever! Still to get one though:(
It looks a bit wavy. Is that just the photo, not been flattened properly, or do they all do that?
Thanks

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Flashback on Dec 13, 2016 6:23:52 GMT 1, Some great works you have there but I really liked this one..... very interest to see how you would frame that... it draws me into the picture so much and sad that I missed the release! Yorkie Agreed - would love to see this framed, if you don't mind sharing. I was originally thinking all white to let the image out, but this could look ridiculously cool with a black mat/frame Black all the way! His art is very dark, so I think it set's the scene more having a black frame/mat.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Flashback on Dec 13, 2016 6:21:06 GMT 1, “Night Grove” by Aron Wiesenfeld. 16″ x 20″ Giclee. Timed edition S/N. $135 Some great works you have there but I really liked this one..... very interest to see how you would frame that... it draws me into the picture so much and sad that I missed the release! Yorkie Thanks!
I've never really bought timed releases before, so interested to know the actual edition number. It's at the USPS facility in San Diego at the moment so hopefully won't be too long now.
I would've preferred the canvas but it was sold out before I asked for the PDF:(
Aron Weisenfeld preview
I think they should've went with black paper for the print IMO as the white detracts from it a bit. Or sign on the image.
I'll be trying to block as much of the white out as possible!
Also too late for 'shelter' which I'm a fan of.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Flashback on Dec 13, 2016 6:14:10 GMT 1, A mate of mine started painting recently. Sent me these as i got yet another year older the other day. Seeing as hes only been at it for a few months i think, the quality is pretty stunning. all on Canvas board and done using stencils, a screen (he has no proper stuff so has been using latex to block bits out!) cheap ink and kids paint apparently. Id say thats determined an unexpectedly effective! Really like the speaker one!

Bask in the luxury of a D*Face Mattress?, by Flashback on Dec 11, 2016 10:48:30 GMT 1, I may be crazy, but this might just be the bargain of the year. A DFace "canvas" edition of 20, thats twice the size of all of his other prints. Sure its a f*cking mattress, but that doesnt change the fact its a screen print on canvas that could be removed and displayed in a traditional manner. If your looking for a legit large format D*face, I don't think there will ever be a better bargain then this. I see the method in your madness! Is it signed though?

DFace • Union Jacked Print, by Flashback on Dec 11, 2016 5:13:20 GMT 1, The only way to stop flippers is to make the item easily accessible to everyone which means open edition or non-limited. I can understand why an artist would not go that route but to me that's really the only way. Or, price them closer to market value. If flippers can't make a bunch of money off the print, they'll stay away instead of snatching everything and artificially driving up the value. A lot of true fans might not be able to afford market value though, so it makes it all a bit too elitist.
If they really wanted to deter flippers they could put some kind of invisible ink/watermark on each print as an identifier that only they would know how to check for.
Anyone can change an ip address but eventually the flippers would run out of paypal and shipping addresses to use, so it would no longer be worth the hassle to them.

I will post accurate, up-to-date info regarding the queue in the morning. Fair enough I used an EB expression (that's where I learned it) but i'm Scottish and my word is bond:) I don't need to see the image first to pay the person who helped me out, as that's got nothing to do with the remuneration that has been earned:) If I don't like like it that's on me, not them... Haha good retort! I'll chuck in an Invader X VNA scarf to the person who helps me out to sweeten the deal. If that's you then you'll stay cosy, if another, then they will:)

Let them fend for themselves and buy it online. Fair enough I used an EB expression (that's where I learned it) but i'm Scottish and my word is bond:)

Someone that queues on your behalf.
I tried to get AF or "Art Friend" accepted as a term, but it never took off.
I thought it was poster buddy?
