Yes well... that's longer than he held on to the last one so I guess we should count that as progress.

Bah Humbug
Can I pre order a AP please? Does it come with a COA?
I'm afraid it's originals only and there is already a long waiting list (granny, grandad, Aunty Joyce, Uncle Peter, the list goes on...)

Felipe Pantone ๐ฆ๐ท Exhibition News โข Contemporary Art , by spirit on Jun 2, 2017 9:57:05 GMT 1, I'm very torn about these... I liked the look of the black and white one at first glance, as I thought it was a distorted portrait... and the silver will look nice. But then, lurking in the back of my head, is the thought that these are just splashes of paint and why would I hang that on my wall!? And not far off ยฃ1000!! I have similar thoughts. I think the black and white will look awesome on the wall in the right spot though and I do see it as a distorted portrait.
They are expensive though... I'm justifying that by the fact that I haven't bought anything for a long time and have sold/am selling 4 dirty funker rat records which should just about cover it!
And as for why hang just "splashes of paint" on the wall, ask any museum with a Pollock...

I was happy with it and so was the buyer. No one has really known what the actual value of these is for years as there haven't been any sales (at least in public) so probably good to establish a benchmark of sorts.

Theresa May seeks General Election, by spirit on May 31, 2017 13:44:51 GMT 1, If that's accurate (a big if with recent polls) then at least it won't be the massive landslide that was predicted when the sneaky ("there will be no snap election"!) snap election was called. I think May was expecting such a landslide. That said I thought I heard that some pundits are now predicting a hung parliament again?!
May thought she would get a landslide, and she probably would have got one until she decided she was in such a strong position that she could take free school meals away from children, restrict the winter heating allowance for pensioners and make people sell their houses to pay for dementia care...
Cannot be overstated how bad a move that was and how many people who would have voted Tory will not do so now.

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel โ
โ
โ
, by spirit on May 31, 2017 13:07:16 GMT 1, Anyone know the process of cancelling a room reservation at TWOH, should I contact the hotel or contact Seetickets.com...cheers. It 'should' be very simple, and for me it was....but word of warning, I had 2 nights booked, and when I cancelled them they only refunded 1 night, they took $530 in 1 payment out ($265 per night) and refunded only $265. It took me 3-4 weeks to get the other half as Seetickets.com told me that they had 'irrefutable guarantee that it had been refunded' this was totally untrue, they were then very unhelpful and refused to do anything more. I had to get my bank to chase them, and finally, after 3-4 weeks they got my money back, no apology from them at all, just said that the 'system' registered it as a duplicate refund and so cancelled 1. Just make sure you double check you get the money back, very bad experience for me. Dungle - check this out - same issue it seems

I have had to cancel to go later in the year and they have refunded one night but claim they refunded two. My bank say they can't do anything and it is up to see tickets. Massive ball ache Can only suggest you take a screen grab / print out of the refund and send it to them as proof they only refunded one night?

One generally makes an offer BASED on the inspected condition and verification of the signature etc.

AUGUSTG 1000 post Giveaway countdown. , by spirit on May 30, 2017 15:09:57 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. That is lovely. I really don't buy much these days but a ROA drawing is definitely on the cards at some point... such a talent.

Invader Albino Print, by spirit on May 26, 2017 21:59:43 GMT 1, Ditto. When I got (one of) the last prints that POW had, I actually contacted them to see if they could give me a copy without these black lines. They said no, but they would take the print back. After much agonising, I decided to keep the print. VERY good decision!

Just for the record, mine is in the 60's - and it has the black lines, so don't read too much into 80.
It might be better to ask, does anyone have one that doesn't have them?

Invader Albino Print, by spirit on May 24, 2017 23:27:48 GMT 1, with respect what DrWhite is saying is a little different. With screen printing there are always slight differences or subtle effects from the process. In this case it looks like scratches in the light sensitive coating on the black screen. It does not detract, but adds something, as they are marks from an analogue and age old technique. It's these imperfections that reveal stages in the process, if it happened as result of the printer and their process, and part of the release, then it is part of the artwork. Exactly. Beautifully put.

Banksy โข Soup Cans Poster, by spirit on May 24, 2017 21:44:29 GMT 1, This is an interesting one! Fakers tend to be quite accurate with something like this. Why would you go to the effort of creating a fake and then do the banksy in totally the wrong colour? I was thinking the same - it's probably a long shot but perhaps there was an early run where the sig was hand stamped? then they got bored of doing that (as unlimited edition) and printed the sig on the next run.
Might be worth asking at POW...
Although on Wendy's one even the cans look like a slightly lighter blue and I think whole thing perhaps looks a little lower resolution and more wobbly...
