Beyond The Streets - Saatchi London, by Coach on Feb 19, 2023 0:37:46 GMT 1, What a night. Great catch-ups with mates, amazing curation and all round great atmosphere. My head is hurting. Was nice to finally meet! Incredible show as it is but being there opening night was amazing, never attended anything like it. Running into Futura in the tube was a surreal experience, all these legends in one place, my head is also still hurting, but that might be because of all the beers consumed. ๐ Great to meet you after all these years!

Beyond The Streets - Saatchi London, by Coach on Feb 18, 2023 3:04:13 GMT 1, Went last night and had a lot of fun. Met up with lots of old friends. The exhibition is spectacular. A must see show undoubtedly. The tagged posh shops nearby made me smile.

Secret Santa , by Coach on Nov 2, 2022 11:05:14 GMT 1, And good riddance. He was a raging bigot, among other things. This isnโt the only place he was banned from. For new members, and just to be absolutely clear, in view of the fact that I started this thread and ran the secret Santa for a long time, the post above does not refer to me. I mention this only because it appears that a post or posts have been deleted, leaving the position potentially unclear. Either that or Wisconinla has got me all wrong!

STREET ART BOOKS , by Coach on Sept 18, 2022 15:43:59 GMT 1, I would suggest that you try to add Beyond the Street to your collection. For me, the best street art book there is. A cracker then? Seems a bit pricey or am I missing something here? Found one on abe for nearly 1k and with one for ยฃ15 on same page. Weird. Will pick one up if its only ยฃ15 mind. 1k is clearly ridiculous. Perhaps it was signed by many of the artists I know there are signed ones out there. On the other hand ยฃ15 is a bargain, chuffed for you. Iโm sure you will enjoy it. Itโs a weighty tome.

Keith Haring + Primark, by Coach on Aug 17, 2022 18:52:44 GMT 1, I got a couple of Haring T shirts from Primark yesterday. I think its great that its affordable to all and even if people don't know the artist (which most of my town most likely don't) then so be it! The designs are awesome and even better knowing your contributing to a charity that supports education, prevention, and care related to AIDS. lighten up people and go and grab some stocking fillers ! Where did you read that these are being sold for charity? Itโs not obvious from the retailerโs Haring section on their website.

If ethical issues concern you take a look at ethicalconsumer.org This enables you to look at the ethical rating of many retailers and brands.

Invader โข 3D Little Big Space โข Sculpture, by Coach on Aug 5, 2022 13:54:39 GMT 1, Coach - it is completely solid and weighs over 1kg so feels heavy as well. People will be pleasantly surprised with the quality. I use these as accent lights that are permanently on and they have a setting that gently changes colour and doesnโt need all the other Hue set up (although I have other Hue lights in every room in the house). www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-Hue-Ambiance-Bluetooth-Assistant/dp/B07YQHQ892 Thanks you Acme Thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks apologies for repeating myself

Invader โข 3D Little Big Space โข Sculpture, by Coach on Aug 5, 2022 12:12:36 GMT 1, Here is a little teaser of how it looks until yours arrive. I have placed mine near a Philips Hue lamp which changes colour and gently glows at night. I deleted my previous photos as they were stolen for eBay listings, which is why I edited my name on the photo (not the actual Invader) to stop it being used again. ๐ That does look great Acme. Especially with the background light. Is it solid or seem hollow? Heavy? And where are the lights you mention available from? Many thanks.

Corbin Shaw ๐ฌ๐ง Artist Discussion , by Coach on Jul 19, 2022 23:49:24 GMT 1, Query whether the "could of" typo in this work is knowing and for effect, or perhaps just down to an oversight or ignorance by the artist.
Oversight or Ignorance ? you've been in the bottom of the urban art barrel for too long :-) Corbin Shaw (b.1998) is a British artist based in Bethnal Green, East London. Originally from Sheffield, Corbin explores ideas of masculinity through the medium of textiles, known for his unique take on the St George's cross, where he hijacks the stereotypes associated with the flag with text, sometimes messages of support and love, sometimes satirical takes on the 'Englishman' when finished, they form a witty take on the ever-recognisable symbol. been following Corbin Shaw for a while. Loved his โsweet and tender hooliganโ on Barbary pattern material. I bought a couple of his affordable versions during the football World Cup, of which this is one

Rest in peace, Gary Dunk (Sacked), by Coach on Jul 14, 2022 0:09:55 GMT 1, I've not posted here previously, but Gary / Sacked was a truly lovely man and is greatly missed by myself and I'm sure many others here. I was asked by his family to help find new homes for his collection, and thought i'd share a link to the pieces i've managed to get listed online. I think Gary must have been Luc Price / Cyclops' biggest collector, and there are quite a number of paintings i've yet to go through! www.prescriptionart.com/collections/gary-dunkAny questions just give me a shout, Thanks, James James, he was indeed a lovely man, and is missed by many of us. Iโm sure your involvement is a great help to his family. Many many fabulous pieces there, as one would expect.

Invader โข 3D Little Big Space โข Sculpture, by Coach on Jul 4, 2022 11:29:00 GMT 1, They could look good framed. What bothered me with the initial release was that the piece was displayed by Musart as a trivial decorative item. Many of their photos were just off putting To me I feel they should be displayed up on the wall high up as is, rather than on a shelf. This is where you would see the mosaics out on the street. I know they would stick out a bit but no more than a picture frame. Maybe it would have been an idea to have a small hole or supply a fixing on the back to give you the option to do this. Could be a shite idea but at least Iโm thinking about displaying it and not flipping it like quite a few others on here ๐ I donโt think thatโs a shit idea at all. Superb idea. That would look fabulous. Any people good with their hands able to suggest how this could be done? Perhaps a few screws (maybe painted the same colour as the wall) that the sculptureโs feet sit on?

Invader โข 3D Little Big Space โข Sculpture, by Coach on Jun 29, 2022 20:46:35 GMT 1, Edition size is 5000. They just mentioned it on their Instagram story. Worth getting it or shoulf I let it go by? Absolutely thrilled if this is true. Gives everyone a good chance at getting one. I could give a shit about flipping/future value; having an invader vinyl like this would be awesome and would display so well. I could not agree more.
Just one thing though (and I do hope that you take this in the spirit of a mere gentle tease, which is the way itโs intended)

Invader โข 3D Little Big Space โข Sculpture, by Coach on Jun 29, 2022 19:22:06 GMT 1, Looks like a cool displayable object . Itโs all about that edition size , 100 then itโs a classic , 5000 somewhat diminished . Why should signing up to the list give you a โ better chance โ most non descriptive I not sure why it would all be about the edition size, unless you mean only for investment. I was rather hoping that it would be a timed edition so that everyone who wants one can get one. Iโd have thought being both cool and displayable would be enough.

Invader Part III Book + Exhibition?, by Coach on Jun 29, 2022 19:17:16 GMT 1, The gallery has quite reasonably pointed out that their site has been designed for use by them as a gallery, not to deal with the type of traffic they had this afternoon. For years us collectors have had to F5 to try to buy stuff, and put the effort in. I humbly suggest that those getting angry chill a little. Took me about 40 minutes or so, but got one in the end. It was a little like the good old days for a while! Iโm sure it will have been worth it.

Shrigley โข I Hate Humans & Balance The Ball On Your Nose, by Coach on Jun 10, 2022 0:23:32 GMT 1, All talk of investment and flipping. Not so much about the art. Whilst I canโt afford any of it (save a poster or two) I have to say that I think these recent prints are superb. Uniquely Shrigley in style and humour. They always make me smile, and I donโt get bored of that. If anyone hasnโt already got a copy, I recommend picking up a copy of the Book of Shrigley published by Redstone Press some years ago. Preferably look through it with an offspring. So much fun.
