Avatars - Why Not Use Them!!!!, by k2 on Jun 8, 2017 19:43:16 GMT 1, I use ublock origin to block the specific image used for people who don't have avatars. It doesn't help to remember people, but it helps to clean up the look of the forum. Now if only I could find an extension that lets me change this ugly purple font back to black like a normal website...
Chrome used to allow user stylesheets, but the functionality was removed a while back. You can use this extension to get the functionality back - chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe?hl=en

New Banksy - UK Election Souvenir Special, by k2 on Jun 3, 2017 17:07:02 GMT 1, Is it not the case that ballot papers are entirely anonymous, making it easy to fake and impossible to validate? I guess they can validate shipping address against electoral register and ensure only one per person, but that's a fairly large administrative headache.
Love the balls of this though.

Julian wolkenstein , by k2 on Jun 2, 2017 15:53:07 GMT 1, It's reminded me that my wife really wants one of those strange paintings of a dog dressed in historical / military uniform. I looked into it a few times, but keep quietly hoping she'll forget about it, but it doesn't seem to be going away...

WANTED โข What Art are you Searching for?, by k2 on May 30, 2017 16:04:30 GMT 1, Thanks Did see them. The canvas went up from ยฃ450 to ยฃ600 for some reason. It's not the best for that price.
Yeah they were all too expensive for me. The small drawings started at 530 euros, and to be honest none of them grabbed me as much as other work that I've seen.

AUGUSTG 1000 post Giveaway countdown. , by k2 on May 30, 2017 14:47:58 GMT 1, Without question this is my favourite thing (thanks mla )...
I have a strong connection to the image as it reminds me of my little feline buddy who passed away last year. I'm not particularly a cat person, but this little chap was f**kingawesome and is badly missed.

AUGUSTG 1000 post Giveaway countdown. , by k2 on May 30, 2017 13:38:55 GMT 1, I had these two commissions done for my kids by an artist called Hatch. I am Cornish and my Partner Swedish, so I asked him to combine the best of both. There are quite a few references; Pasty, Country Flags, Dalarhest (Swedish painted horse), Cornish coat of arms etc. Proper job! These are great...

Copenhagen - anything worth seeing?, by k2 on May 30, 2017 10:40:15 GMT 1, Evening all - I'm in Copenhagen for the weekend, anything worth seeing? Galleries, exhibitions, street? We saw a few nice pieces in Copenhagen
Great ROA - www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.6701553,12.5579321,3a,75y,179.08h,109.21t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sa509APEvlq-8StTwne62Eg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
Hayuk - www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.66918,12.5510965,3a,75y,148.08h,105.92t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXFh6UQKqQs01ZYmSmzy0KQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
We saw a really nice Daleast too but I can't find it now.
Christiania is definitely worth exploring - lots of really nice unpolished stuff there, and some long legal walls along the side of the river.

..., by k2 on May 26, 2017 14:38:03 GMT 1, For anyone considering these but worrying about import duty or shipping these framed, I bought a large framed piece from mla which he shipped to the UK from Canada. It was professionally packed and I was only liable for the bare minimum of import duty. Couldn't have been happier with the whole experience!

If I had $10K to spend on Art, by k2 on May 24, 2017 16:58:13 GMT 1, Who ends up with the dollars in the end? Or the Euros? Bitcoins are are exchanged for goods and services, or converted into traditional currencies.ย It's not hugely different from any market, including the art market. As more people want to buy, the price will increase. As more people want to sell, the price will decrease. Crypto currencies can be more volatile because the market is (currently) smaller and less mature.ย Perhaps more interesting that Bitcoin itself is the 'blockchain' that powers it, and its potential uses outside of crypto currency.ย ย No, I meant who ends up with the bitcoins in the end? ย Plus what happens if one day someone pulls the plug on the internet? No more internet.
I meant that it's no different from asking who ends up with all the dollars. It's a currency (almost) like any other.
If someone pulls the plug on the internet, we are all likely to be screwed unless you have gold under your mattress.

If I had $10K to spend on Art, by k2 on May 24, 2017 16:47:02 GMT 1, The same way that places that sell foreign currency make money. Sell at a slightly inflated rate, buy at a slightly reduced rate.

I'm talking about the people who give dollars , quids etx for peoples bitcoins? Plus surely the value of bitcoins will reach a peak and go down too.

Art Yard Sale โข Brighton, by k2 on May 23, 2017 1:03:54 GMT 1, I seem to have ended up with two RYCA canvases - could have sworn that the first order didn't go through, but never mind...

DIY Framing, by k2 on May 22, 2017 13:30:24 GMT 1, I'm a poor artist that typically makes large paintings with little regard for conventional dimensions. Accordingly, framing is the most cost prohibitive barrier to making my art presentable. One of my larger pieces can easy cost ยฃ300-400 to properly mount and frame. Luckily, I'm incredibly cheap and also a bit of a handyman, so I invested in a contractor grade table saw which allows for mitering. You can buy long (8-10 meters) uncut pieces of wood for framing for about ยฃ5. Buy a piece made of unfinished wood so you can paint/stain it to fit the aesthetic of the piece. It's also cheaper than buying finished frame patterns. For prints I purchase or my own non paintings, i found a budget matting cutter, and I try to mat a piece so that the dimensions are close to that of a commonly sold frame. I could do a tutorial or give some examples, but I'm brand spanking new here. I'll wait until I figure out if anyone might give as**t. I for one would definitely be interested in reading this.
I tried making a couple of tray frames last week, although I only have hand tools, and it was surprisingly fun. Really happy with the results.
I'm not sure I'd go as far as cutting my own mats as they're pretty easy / cheap to buy online, but would definitely be interested to see how you're constructing your frames.

Jean-Michel Basquiat ๐บ๐ธ Brooklyn, New York โข Graffiti Art , by k2 on May 19, 2017 16:34:55 GMT 1, .Would you want it? And if so, how much would you pay for it??? I think my wife and kids would'nt be happy with it if i'm honest. I showed my wife the picture from the news story earlier and she was horrified by the image. Perhaps she'll be slightly more forgiving towards my Bisser pieces now, although I doubt it.

Stik Artwork, VALUATION, by k2 on May 18, 2017 12:01:07 GMT 1, Any idea of the current value of a Lovers? Thanks in advance Thanks for the rather strange selection of PMs - not for sale quite yet, just trying to get an idea of current value as I'm considering a couple of other purchases.
Particular highlight was the rather convoluted sob story involving a house fire - I did feel a twinge of sympathy until it became obvious you'd just copied and pasted from a previous message to someone else, and hadn't bothered / remembered to edit the name of the print or artist. Nice try, but more attention to detail needed in future!

Pejac Print, Original, WANTED, by k2 on May 11, 2017 8:26:26 GMT 1, I think the ones you own are the editions he is referring to. He did the digging and found proof, so no sure what you mean mate. mate, as I wrote: I am wondering what low number editions are available to buy at the moment...I d be very interested then! Max was selling 3 'Vinyl on Smart' pieces towards the end of last year for 5000 Euros each, on behalf of a 'collector' in Spain. All three were white on black backgrounds, all at 100x70. The pick of the bunch (in my opinion) was Suicida, and I've forgotten the names of the other two.
No idea if these sold or if they're still available.

Problem with forum member Trevorm, by k2 on Feb 24, 2017 17:12:59 GMT 1, Nothing worse than having a dunking mishap and losing a bit of biscuit into the drink, then forgetting about it.
It always leads to a moment of sheer panic when you're finishing the drink and feel something 'solid' going in, before you remember there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for it.
Makes me shudder just thinking about it.
