Its not about the money, by themightyreds on Sept 11, 2007 9:27:30 GMT 1, Some of the prints on my walls cost a tenner and are now worth the same or less than i paid. Some i've paid a few hundred for and aren't yet on the walls because of lack of wall space/laziness in geting them framed. Others i've got wil never get hung because they aren't the sort of imagery i want on my walls. But all of them are one's i like so as cashman says above, i'll not feel any guilty for having them.

print numbers, by themightyreds on Sept 10, 2007 10:41:28 GMT 1, I agree that with matching prints (ie. the Eine Elton ones) you should certainly be given the option to request matching edition numbers... it would be ยฃ300 for them both so its not too much to ask for in my books.
Some artists do a subscription to all of thier print releases where you are given the choice of a range of edition numbers and then they will send you the same edition number of each print they release as long as you are a subscriber.... This costs a fair whack though...

print numbers, by themightyreds on Sept 9, 2007 0:46:10 GMT 1, My girlfriend got me a number 31/100 Invader print as a gift for my 31st bday so that number is cool to me but only for that print. It's nice to have matching edition numbers on a set of, or similar prints but its of no real consequence long term, although like a lot of others i do prefer lower edition numbers if given the choice...

Float Mounting..., by themightyreds on Sept 5, 2007 16:17:42 GMT 1, So many framers want to dry mount prints it's astonishing... if any framer suggests that to me i walk out the door and find another.
To float mount using the small water soluble tape stips is the only 'safe' method i know of.

i mac, by themightyreds on Sept 2, 2007 22:27:23 GMT 1, Best idea is to always try a few stores for latest quotes. Either way a 24" iMac is a sweet machine. Do like a few people have said and go to crucial for extra RAM as its a doddle to fit it yourself and you'll save loads. Hard drive is not so hard to replace but might as well spec it with the size you need from the start - think you can get up to 1TB in there now but i'd go for 500GB and a second external FireWire 800 HD as a back-up drive.

A plea - please read, by themightyreds on Aug 22, 2007 10:08:35 GMT 1, Good words pezlow. I'm with you on all that except for the cricket!!
First print i ever got was because i was blown away by it and just had to have it. Now my walls are nearly full and i've got plenty in storage i find that my buying is a whole lot more selective about what i buy as it's got to be something that goes in a frame and means relegating an already loved print to storage. A hell of a luxury if you think about it....

What's your favourite piece from your collection?, by themightyreds on Aug 17, 2007 8:55:51 GMT 1, This is my pride and joy on the living room wall...
finally getting around to buying a mount for it at the weekend as it's not quite the perfect fit for this frame and it deserves to be finished off properly.

Banksy in Aquarium Store??, by themightyreds on Aug 13, 2007 14:35:10 GMT 1, Saw another one in the window today. Popped in and there were 9 available in a little pile in there.
Still not tempted enough to get one though.

In the Tube, by themightyreds on Aug 10, 2007 11:33:43 GMT 1, Went down the tip last weekend with about 50 empty tubes... was a bit embarrasing to be honest as theres certainly not space for half of them on my walls... Gave the lads down there a bit of fun using them as swords and bats though!
