Castle Gallery โข Banksy, by eyectopus on Nov 6, 2022 20:42:52 GMT 1, The Ariel piece is even more impressive and more disorientating when seen from the close up photo and especially with the 3 of them. Great photos @castlegalleryltd

Early Banksy Art, by eyectopus on Oct 21, 2022 22:35:47 GMT 1, Thanks for posting the link silvermyn
These are excellent. They show the effort Banksy went to and how his art was developing. Great to see the elephant, missile and rocket.
The images are similar to the Manhattan hotel room he painted in 1999.

The Next Banksy Project?, by eyectopus on Sept 7, 2022 17:27:03 GMT 1, I'm thinking GDP's most recent share on IG (the cryptic sound of spray paint) was a type of "S.O.S." call, perhaps tying into the wonderful humanitarian work going on with the MVLM. Wouldn't be surprised if B has also been busy working as an uncredited consultant/director behind the scenes on See Monster. But something is coming. What account was the send from originally? I missed that one. There is no official GDP account on IG as far as I know.

Invader โข 3D Little Big Space โข Sculpture, by eyectopus on Jun 30, 2022 20:32:34 GMT 1, The queue seemed to work well. I was 12k + and one became available after a few hours.

They are a nice piece so congrats to all that got one.

DDT Store new release, by eyectopus on May 25, 2022 17:53:02 GMT 1, The clock looks great. I can't see it mentioned if it is printed or not or what materials are used other than wood or metal. I didn't enter the lottery, but from the photo they look great.
Pricing can be a bit strange for items like this. As although a lot of effort has gone in to it people will look at it as a clock and expect pricing to be lower than a piece on canvas or a print.

Inexpensive way to store larger A0 prints , by eyectopus on May 21, 2022 19:16:54 GMT 1, I believe that was taken from my idea that I leave under my sofa.. Only problem you will find, as it's fixed hinged, the more you put in it will not close properly.. it will end up wedge shaped.. I taped one side as this could be easily removed. Looking good though.. ๐๐
I agree about it becoming wedge shaped due to the hinge. One way to minimise that is to add the hinge after adding the inner boards. Either way it could lead to the top board not being even.
I would also be careful with blind stamps, especially if the blind stamp end of the print is at the hinge end of the folder. That can be minimised by cutting a hole in the inner board where the blind stamp is.

Banksy โข Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by eyectopus on Apr 16, 2022 12:19:43 GMT 1, You might want to consider swapping out the spacers and the backing board for something more archival so the print doesnโt yellow from the acid. I did this along with changing the glass to anti UV glass. From memory I think IKEA have discontinued the Ribba frames too.
There were kits on Ebay for doing this at one point from what I recall.

Art News Exhibitions Museums Releases, by eyectopus on Apr 8, 2022 0:10:20 GMT 1, Went to see this yesterday, Surrealism Beyond Borders at Tate Modern...well worth a look. Time Transfixed Rene Magritteย link
I done a day trip to London and went to the Bacon exhibition and the Surrealism without Borders exhibition. Amazing experience seeing both. I had done a lot of reading on Bacon over the last year and was unreal to see the pieces I had read so much about. Technically some of the works at the Surrealism exhibition were mind blowing but the journals, pamphlets and books that were released when the movement was in full swing was great too see. They are every bit as important as the works on the walls. A lot like the zines etc. over the last few decades.

Don't take offence when members offer alternatives and good information. Unfortunately some people take the great info shared here when it suits them and become abusive when it doesn't.

Bristol Museum โข Paint Pot Angel Poster โข WITHDRAWN , by eyectopus on Apr 2, 2022 17:03:50 GMT 1, Hi, Selling my Angel, with receipt. No longer collecting but not pushing for a quick sale in case anyone wondered Please PM if interested. UK North West. Thanks I remember this coming up at Bristol museum: Bought a few, only to be refunded a few days later, as Banksy put the brakes on
I had seen them a few weeks before they were posted on here. I was going to go back at a later stage to pick one up. I assumed they were official, would always be available and were known about. I was surprised to see the reaction here and elsewhere afterwards.

Genieve Figgis - Picnic, by eyectopus on Mar 29, 2022 16:47:47 GMT 1, Great low edition print dropped by Almine Rech today. Not crazy about the white border on a 12"x12" print, but the price was great considering all her other sales. Anyone get lucky?
I forgot about this one. I am not a fan of that border either. How much was it?
Edit: I just see it was โฌ700 - โฌ847

Jake & Chapman ๐ฌ๐ง Chapman Brothers โข Whitecube โข For Sale, by eyectopus on Mar 28, 2022 16:34:57 GMT 1, It's about the 4th or 5th print in a row I've received with some type of damage. Publishers are getting very lazy! It also happens way too often with vinyl records.ย The sleeves have creases, bumped corners, seam splits that occur during shipping because the packaging is too flimsy or the records shift during shipping.ย I used to shrug it off but no more.ย In the past couple of years records (and shipping) have gotten so expensive that if there is the slightest problem I ask for a replacement or a full refund if they can't replace it.ย Four out of the five packages I've received recently had some sort of issue.ย It just makes you want to stop having stuff delivered altogether.ย ย
It is the same for me. The extra cost and time to better pack the items would reduce the returns, refunds, poor customer experience and the time to manage the issues.
In my experience well packaged items rarely get damaged. Even if the package sustains damage, the item does be ok.

It does say that, so I am not too confident. I read it on the Wired website also that they may be available online. But I will also keep an eye out online.

I'll wait until they are online also. No stores in Ireland with them as far a I know.
The last watch I purchased was the Swatch Q when it came out in Feb 2020. So hoping to get the Swatch x Omega aswell.

Not to take away from how great they are technically and visually.

Andy Warhol ๐บ๐ธ Real or Fake? โข Sunday B. Morning Print, by eyectopus on Mar 12, 2022 14:02:14 GMT 1, I have watched a few episodes and really like it. It covers a lot and has great footage. A lot of artists discussed here are in it either from old footage or speaking as part of this series.
There are other things on Netflix that give some further background to some topics and people in this series:
The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson
Halston - I wasn't a big fan of this, but it covers people in Warhols circle at a certain point.
Was good to see the original of a print/poster often discussed and debated on this forum

Billy Childish signed prints ยฃ30, by eyectopus on Mar 11, 2022 13:56:37 GMT 1, Iโve got a couple up in the downstairs loo! Donโt think he be offended. Meet him once and seemed like a really interesting bloke. Canโt think of a better value print tbh!ย
This reminds me of a quote from him that I love.
From a Guardian article from 2014 by Clive Martin on Billy Childish:
"I ask him about the famous moustache, now so prevalent in certain districts of the London he's never musch cared for. "I'm an interesting person with a moustache, rather than a person who's grown a moustache to be interesting. But it's a good trick to do that, and good luck to them if they can pull it off."

Guess you see what you want to see Unfortunately it's more like what dunkers said, if you look back over projects that have done this it does damage over time, look at crypto mums and remember crypto dad's was massively successful at the time Hope it works out for the people invested but I would be super cautious jumping in now
Another similarity with The Cryptodads is that they mentioned a Netflix series at one point also.
