Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by hlarmy on Nov 25, 2010 14:57:54 GMT 1, If I were POW / Banksy the focus would be on:
- paying the extortionate rent they will be paying for that location - I wouldn't release it until the end, and would do so by a raffle, with a limit of ยฃ20 per person bought in person in the shop, which would give huge exposure to their other artists and help drive non-Banksy sales (or no limit at all, which could be justified if an elements of the profits go to charity).
- the above however would rule out the international market, and bearing in mind the huge amount of promotion done over the in US, Europe, Australia etc in the past year, there will have to be another colour version, which is done via an online lottery (or even better, a raffle, if they're allowed to do that).
Just my twopence...

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by hlarmy on Nov 25, 2010 14:34:32 GMT 1, you have to think about it logically. i dont think they would allow overnight lining up in that area, the police would be all over you if your drinking etc as its an alcohol free zone and tramp free zone. not that im calling you all alcoholics and tramps. well, maybe only a couple of you.
Even more logically, why not capitalise on such a great position and thousands of shoppers walking past every day (millions probably in the next month) and release this via a lottery. It would raise a huge amount, no doubt a percentage of it going to charity. The downside is that you'll have next to no chance of winning one, but perhaps there are more important things in life than having a print on the wall...

JR โข Ladj Ly, Hold Up, by hlarmy on Nov 21, 2010 9:18:29 GMT 1, Would you be interested in swapping your Beejoir LV child or radiation bird for a Mau Mau portrait pink? post me if interested.
I'm really trying to downgrade / reduce the size of my collection - would be interested in seeing what the Mau Mau looks like but I'm either after a cash deal or I'd be willing to swap a few pieces from my 'unwanted' list on my flickr for one, higher valued piece?
Does anyone know of any editioned JR originals with the exception of the ones that were at Found LA (and those at Laz of course, which are over budget!)?

Mantis Print ๐ฌ๐ง Street Art โข Art For Sale, by hlarmy on Nov 19, 2010 7:48:20 GMT 1, The surprise show of the year for me; a great mix of work, some old, some new, some stencil, some freehand, all at a great venue that the artist had clearly put a lot of work into getting ready. Definitely worth popping along if you're free today or tomorrow and based in or near London town. I took a few photos but they're pretty s**t (iphone) so happy to let others post theirs...
