Zedsy ๐ฌ๐ง Street Art โข New Print Release , by bentheartfan on Aug 21, 2016 15:23:27 GMT 1, bentheartfan I tend to think that colored borders and such are cool when testing out in photoshop and then when I arrive to my framemaker and test it out it looks quite bad and plans is always changed. So, taking it to your frame maker directly to test stuff out will save you the trouble of ps-works that wont come to life
Thanks, appreciate it !

His comment was funny as f@ck I guess humour, like art, is subjective.

Zedsy ๐ฌ๐ง Street Art โข New Print Release , by bentheartfan on Aug 20, 2016 17:44:27 GMT 1, I think that the print itself is more creme colored, so it may not work out according to plan. Maybe float it on a colour matching mat, with a black frame ?

I think it's called mirror. Then once it's up and on the wall every time you want to look at it you can take a long hard look at yourself Your comment was not funny; but it is funny that someone on an art forum takes time out of their day to criticize someone else's choice in art.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by bentheartfan on Aug 20, 2016 14:09:59 GMT 1, Haven't given it too much thought yet. Being in the US finding a proper size frame off the shelfs going to be a challenge so that will probably play a big role haha. Can't justify spending more on custom framing than the print itself. Ya, I think I'm ordering 5 18x24 inch frames off of MatShop or similar, with blank mats and backing, and then having the mats custom cut by a local frame shop, buy glass from them and then have them mount the prints. I have 4 prints to put up, all approx 13x19 or 14x20, with the zedsy being the priciest cost. With the framing budget I've set to fit the cost of these prints, I think that's a good route to go - comments welcome!

KRINK - Chair Modernica, by bentheartfan on Aug 17, 2016 18:07:27 GMT 1, Expensive for a knock off of an Eames design ! At best, its a "backdoor print" version - IE from original molds (so the story goes) but NOT official, authorized etc. Bigger problem here is that it is labelled with two brand names, neither of which designed it (R & C Eames did).
(disclosure: I have a newer Vitra manufactured rocker, and a first edition rope edge Zenith / Herman Miller manufactured version)

Share the STIK love!, by bentheartfan on Aug 13, 2016 18:44:48 GMT 1, Anywhere still do cheap frames for the poster?? I picked up a 11.75 inch x 36 inch frame from a local craft store (Michaels) for about 25 pounds ($40 CDN). Local frame store is custom cutting a mat for me for another 25 pounds.
I think it would look great in a white frame with a black mat. Right now my frame is black, but I may paint it.

I'm in Canada... whereabouts are you ?
Thx

No Commission Swizz Beatz Bronx, by bentheartfan on Aug 9, 2016 2:10:12 GMT 1, Love the concept he is doing with the no commission fair. Article from Vogue below: Swizz Beatz โNo Commission Art Fair" is Coming to NYC Major Grammy winning music producer Swizz Beatz continues to kick down the door of the art world and spread his creative wings, opening his 2nd version of No Commission Art Fair in his hometown the Bronx, NY. This summer artists will be allowed to showcase their work for free and take home 100% of their proceeds, a departure from the industry standard. Beatz has said, โI think the world needs more powerful collaborations that are willing to push the envelope and not really follow the necessary rules that are laid out.โ Curated by Swizzโs (himself) The Dean Collection, this summerโs artfair will showcase hand selected artists, which continues to highlight his important โgive back factorโ message. Swizzโs connection to the art world is not new and goes beyond his familyโs own Dean Collection as a long-standing member of the Brooklyn Museum board and curator at Art Miami Basel throughout the years. Looking to expand the artistsโ reach for entry into major national and international collections, the debut artists include Raashad Newsome, Kehinde Wiley, SWOONS, Shepard Fairey, KAWS, Dustin Yellin, and more. New Orleans native Rashaad Newsome, known for his performances and dance Vogue mastering King of Arms Art Ball, is on the top hit list for collectors after his recently sold-out show at De Buck Gallery in NYC. Celebrity collectors like Nene Leakes who are loyal fans have been closely following Newsomeโs artwork patiently waiting to snap up his latest works, especially after news broke of the purchase by the Studio Museum of Harlem. Swizz Beatz, a serious collector himself who owns work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Takashi Murakami, Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, is leaving traditional dealers a little frazzled to say the least with his new No Commission platform. Celebrities are coming out in droves to buy and support the artists, such as Lenny Kravitz, Pusha T, Wiz Khalifa and Hannah Bronfman, all high-profile performers who bring immersive experience into both art and performance, which continues to raise the bar for this new generation of art world stars. If this unstoppable Dean family, Beatz, his gorgeous superstar singer wife Alicia Keys and son Egypt have decided to make a splash in New Yorkโs concrete jungle, we can be sure the noise will resonate loudly and create another ingenious success. http://instagr.am/p/BI3ObHohanb

Zedsy ๐ฌ๐ง Street Art โข New Print Release , by bentheartfan on Aug 7, 2016 22:26:15 GMT 1, Woah there...lets not get carried away. It's a nice cheap little print that we find amusing enough to buy. It probably also appeals to us because it's an exact ripoff of Warhol. No need to exaggerate things and even compare the Zedmeister with Pejac. Hopefully this thread ends soon. I bought the print, but if is considered art then it's a sad state of affairs really.... Of course it is art ... I really disagree with the sentiment that "I don't like it (or I don't think the effort was sufficient) therefore it is not art"

Zedsy ๐ฌ๐ง Street Art โข New Print Release , by bentheartfan on Aug 6, 2016 21:47:52 GMT 1, lol No hype necessary as I didn't get one on release and haven't purchased one after-market so I have no reason to hype this print. I have no connection to Zedsy, personal or financial. I just happen to like the print and it's ambiguous message. I like art that makes you think and try to reason what the intention of a piece really is, but maybe that's too big of a concept for small minded people.
