Back to Back - By C215 at Stolen Space , by Agent Provocateur on Feb 7, 2014 12:11:02 GMT 1, 'Fraid I'm going to have to use the words 'stunning' and 'show' for what I saw last night, amazing selection of work and beautifully hung by Stolenspace. Great way to start the year.
Between fighting the crowds, a shaky camera and going on to cocktails when the beer ran out, I'm amazed I got any shots. Have included some of the blurry ones as I though they looked quite cool!
C215's colour palette was subdued and earthy, each stencil working on it's own, but as a group a really strong, cohesive body of work... sorry, b*llshit over!

If anyone else is thinking about printing some of their snaps I can recommend Mark at Atom Printing (www.atomprinting.com), they're great quality and I thought a good price.

HERRODS 2013 | Competition | WINNERS, by Agent Provocateur on Jan 18, 2014 13:24:48 GMT 1, My pleasure someonesbrain.
There was a delay in sending the #2 place prize, but dkeuhnen's tube is winging it's way to NY as I type, apologies for the delay.
Once it's arrived safely there's only two more special 'thank you' parcels to hand deliver in London, one to the Herrods official packaging supplier and another to a dreadmeister for sticker sleuthing above and beyond the call of duty.

Os Gemeos @99prints, by Agent Provocateur on Jan 17, 2014 19:03:53 GMT 1, Can someone explain what this lithography printing technique is? I know stone lithographs from back in the day, screen printing, etching etc etc. But on JR's site for the train image in Kenya it says '8 colors lithography printed with Marinoni machine' which I don't really understand!? Here it is.... In french sorry... idemparis.com/fr/index.php/presentation/technique/ Cheers floubi, I was being lazy, found the same site's English version and posted it two posts above yours.

Os Gemeos @99prints, by Agent Provocateur on Jan 17, 2014 18:59:24 GMT 1, Was being lazy, just looked at the ateliers website and they provide a short succinct explanation, so I'll answer my own question...
idemparis.com/en/index.php/about-us/technique/
'Lithography is based on the mutual antipathy of oil and water. The image is drawn directly onto a special stone or metal plate with a grease or fat-based medium, such as a wax crayon or an ink wash. After chemical treatment, the stone or plate is dampened and then inked with a roller. The ink adheres to the greasy surface of the image. Paper and stone, or plate, are then rolled through a press and a print is taken.'
Which should be interesting when the technique collides with the twins style, can't wait to see it.

This is a fine art litho and if JR's fine art litho's are anything to go by, this could be priced around โฌ1.6k: www.social-animals.net/Exactly!!

Os Gemeos @99prints, by Agent Provocateur on Jan 17, 2014 18:29:29 GMT 1, Why limit this to 99 prints? Seems silly. Treat 'em mean keep 'em keen... think you're right happyshopper, looks like a similar image.
Regarding getting one, seems quite simple from the email
'As soon as the print will be released, you will receive an e-mail to connect you to the website and get 1 edition of the 99 exclusive prints created by Os Gemeos.'
Email, website, buy, sorted... wot could go wrong!?
Shall I start the guesstimating about price with a cool US$450 each

Upfest โข Street Art Graffiti Festival , by Agent Provocateur on Jan 4, 2014 13:16:38 GMT 1, Congratulations on everything you've achieved over the last six years; I can completely understand why you'd need to take a breather for a year. Just out of interest, do you know how much you've raised for charity over the years? how's about trying to get hold of that huge derelict building right by the station!? Would look great dripping in paint. See No Evil tried to get the building for the SNE2013 and didn't get anywhere unfortunately. It would be a far better first sight for people arriving in Bristol on the train if it was painted but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. There's some fantastic work inside but it's been almost untouched since 2005-ish due to the 'enthusiastic' on site security. Here's some Sickboy from back in the day: Cheers feral, liking the sickboy (love the hand bottom right), bet there's some great stuff in there. At least SNE13 tried, it would make a great venue.

In 2008 I bet you all never saw yourselves needing to take a year off in 2014 (and having to store a full size subway car)!
I've met many people at Upfest over the years that I call good friends now and look forward to seeing what you come up with in 2015. Just a thought but.. how's about trying to get hold of that huge derelict building right by the station!? Would look great dripping in paint.
