BRP - Nick Walker - The Queue Diaries, by idris on Apr 16, 2008 14:06:00 GMT 1, BTW - reason why i'm heading down early is simple
2 reasons - 1 - I start my new job on Monday & 2nd I doubt i'll have the time to go to a show in a while. I didn't wanna risk travelling Thursday am & only to get to BRP realising i'm gonna miss out on the print - so, yeah i'm not looking forward to sleepin the streets of london however; for my art i'm willing to suffer.
& please don't think every1 is flipping - maybe its the last chance i'll have to afford NW at cost.
I hope u guyz understand :-)

BRP - Nick Walker - The Queue Diaries, by idris on Apr 16, 2008 13:15:44 GMT 1, well, people - call me insane but I am actually on my way down now frm Leeds. Heading straight for the queue - should be therebout 3 - ish and i'm definitely not camera shy so i'll be posting pics.
I know what some of you gus are saying about the guy who's already queuing. So what if he is queuing early? If that's what he wants to do - let him. OK - if he had a bunch of mates turning up to buy prints then you gotta point but right now there's only 2 queuing so keep your knickers on :-)
For all those who are gonna be queuing - lets play it fair shall we - here's wishing anyway. If it gets too rough i'll be outta there b4 alan sugar can say 'your fired' :-)

Nick Walker V for Vandalism, by idris on Apr 13, 2008 20:32:35 GMT 1, BRP doesn't care who gets the prints. If they wanted to garauntee they were going to fans of nicks all they would need to do was come on here, read some threads and pm "would you like to buy one?" 75 prints sold to worthy individuals, no flippers, no ebay. They want the hype and the high prices, it's good pr. They are running a business. Charging £1k to stop flippers! Is that sheep s**t? is it cow s**t? No it's BULLs**t! Where do you get that from ? This is what BRP said about the price " What i should mention is that the print at the show is going to be in the £650 - £1000 price range as it is a little special and difficult to make" Difficult to make, a handpulled screenprint, f**k knows how many colours, artist, printers, gallery staff and gallery running costs to cover it's an expensive business that's all there is too it really.
Insite - i'm with you - nuff said -

Nick Walker V for Vandalism, by idris on Apr 13, 2008 12:47:36 GMT 1, One idea which IMHO would stop widespread flippers although a little more work for galleries and artist would be to release batches of prints throughout the show. Artist and Gallery could agree how many and when before show. People visiting the show would then be able to chat to gallery staff and if they thought person had actually heard of the artist and was interested in the artist rather than simply flipping print they could mention some available and person could buy one if interested. The other option is to use the old Ferrari method where people invited to buy. Read somewhere that in the old days you had to kneel in front of Enzo when signing the contract. Imagine if you flipped your F40 you would not get invited again!!!! Just an idea as long as I am on the list :-)
So true - a lot of the new ferraris produced in limited on numbers never go on general sale - purchase is by invitation only!!

Nick Walker V for Vandalism, by idris on Apr 13, 2008 11:41:00 GMT 1, d'you know what - with all this talk ov value i'm having second thoughts of even bothering now? I mean what are we gonna be confronted with .... 100 flippers who really dont give a f*ck about any queue and they'll p!$$ on any1 2 get to front ov queue. Do I REALLY wanna spend 10+ hours in the queue to find some hairy fat arsed baboon has jumped the queue. Is it really worth all the effort? & which tw@t keeps talking about value? boring

A beginners guide to the Nick Walker print release, by idris on Apr 12, 2008 18:26:48 GMT 1, Rule 17..All forum members/collectors ie decent people stick together and voice concerns should people attempt to push in.Strength in numbers and all that??? If I make the queue, Im reserving a spot for my brother who will turn up later. So I hope you dont violate him.
Outrageous to think some1 would even suggest that - I hope people have the manners to queue in an orderly fashion otherwise this could end up being a nightmare ....

Nick Walker - 17/04/07 BRP, by idris on Apr 12, 2008 10:11:02 GMT 1, Not really necessary to start another thread is there? Try the V for Vandalism thread. By the way there are already about 80 people already down there so no point going down early ;-)
Yeah sos mate - was gonna add this to the existing post but thought i'd give it a new post entirely.
& i'm coming over from Leeds so i'll be happy if i'm in the queue of 75 - at least way I can refuse the print if I don't like it.

Nick Walker - 17/04/07 BRP, by idris on Apr 12, 2008 9:47:55 GMT 1, So, given only 75 prints released on the night - can some1 try and second guess as to what time the queues will start? will it be a case of get there as early as?
or if you are going what time are you getting there ... & will yo be bringing a chair

Nick Walker V for Vandalism, by idris on Apr 9, 2008 19:39:53 GMT 1, i guarantee that you would just get c**ts selling their 'tickets' in the queue these people have no shame or ethics, and i don't expect them to develop any in a week
beat me to it - I was gonna mention that
What they can't sell is something that's been physically imprinted on you ie a stamp of some sort -
think i'm making the journey from Leeds - coz theres no way i'm getting the on line print - it'll sell out in no time!!
