What do you regret buying the most ??, by Martin M on Sept 14, 2010 22:45:23 GMT 1, Great funny thread
My biggest by far regret buy has got to be Adam Neate - Queens special!!!!!, queued up for bloody hours hoping to get one of the other prints, all sold out when i got to the jump, served by the slowest lady in the universe on the till, parted with £1250, yes that's £1250 of my hard earned, bought at the top of the market to feed the old obsession, absolutely hate it. i Will never buy another print to put under the bed. I feel better for that.

Map of London print?, by Martin M on Jun 9, 2010 21:19:55 GMT 1, If you can find it take a look at "Birds eye view of London as seen from a Balloon 1884" By William Lionel Wylie & H. W. Brewer A huge print, I have it on my wall and its unbelievable in its detail and brilliance i suppose its not very contemporary but you wont be disappointed at the detail overlooking the city.

Robert Indiana 🇺🇸 Pop Art • LOVE • Sculpture • HOPE, by Martin M on May 23, 2010 9:59:39 GMT 1, I Bought a Love print at Bloomsbury auction years ago, paid around £700 for it i think. It is from the side edition of 50 (Roman numerals) signed, aside from the original edition of 200. It also came with the Love poem which is the same size as the love print, its a bit soppy but i like it. I`m not sure whether the poems only came with the edition of 50, worth checking out. i`ve famed them separately and they look good side by side.
Last one i saw at auction went for around £1800 if memory serves me right. Good luck with the search its a classic image

Dolk - Teddy Riot, by Martin M on Mar 9, 2010 18:36:07 GMT 1, Got mine today here in London, already at the framers. Out of interest i am going to put this in my two boys room to hang alongside a grey No Ball Games, i think it will look great, but my better half thinks its a little sinister, she seems to think its a bit dark. Is anyone out there thinking the same?. I dont think they will pick up on the possible overtones suggested in the image or if there are any at all??. It will be interesting to hear any thoughts.

A1, A0 Portfolio and Sleeves, by Martin M on Feb 15, 2010 11:07:22 GMT 1, A very helpful fella called Ian at Mapak, he makes them to order about £12 each. They are not as fancy as selwynns - they don't have fancy metal corners, but you have to buy a load of Selwynns sleeves in one go - and there expensive!. Mapak also made me a folder for A0 sleeves which is pretty massive but it does give a bit more protection.

Packaging advice - flat prints, by Martin M on Feb 4, 2010 22:56:21 GMT 1, When you buy any prints from Other Criteria (Damien Hirst) they send them in fantastic flat packs purpose made for the job , as with everything you buy from them its always amazingly pakaged!. Worth giving them a ring to see where they get them from, cant see a better way to send flat packed.

Why Do You Like Banksy?, by Martin M on Jan 28, 2010 12:43:07 GMT 1, I found Mr B at Bohnams auctions print sale 14/3/05 flicked through the catalogue and Banksy`s signed Love Bomb ( as it was called then) stood out above the rest by a mile, both me and the wife loved it so - did`nt even know who Mr B was, i bid and won (£200), its still on the wall now along with a few other Mr B`s, think there great. Wish i had bought the signed Radar Rat (£400) and the Signed I Fought the Law (£170) as well in the same sale !!!!!. I think these were the first prints that turned up at a mainstream auction. This started my collecting obsession with the urban art scene, all good fun!

John Jones Framers, by Martin M on Jan 11, 2010 20:15:41 GMT 1, If your in the Wimbledon area Gallery 128 in Kingston Road is excellent, a nice bloke called Charles runs it. He has framed about 20 pictures of mine, all brilliantly. Very good prices as well, he has also done some excellent restoration work on some older etchings i have.

Shows in East London? + Storage sleeves, by Martin M on Jan 8, 2010 20:55:09 GMT 1, I got my A0 sleeves from a nice bloke at Mapac called Ivor. They are not listed on the site, you have to contact them direct they are very helpful. They are made to order at about £12 each delivered, they also they made me a A0 folder to keep them in which is huge. I thought Atlantis were a bit pricey when i enquired, quoted £15 each, but £8 sounds like a good price if that's for A0. Have a good day

No Ball Games Queue Photographer?, by Martin M on Dec 17, 2009 14:31:12 GMT 1, I saw the Mail on Sunday photographer, the security blokes wouldn't let him in at first but he pleaded with them. He took lots of shots of the queue and quite a few inside. I actually bought the Mail on Sunday for the first time - No banksy article -so i binned it. I can only think there trying to do another story to expose who banksy is - who cares. Anyway it would be good to see the piccys as he did have a fancy camera

Wanted: Takashi Murakami, by Martin M on Oct 8, 2009 21:04:21 GMT 1, I have got a Flower superflat on the wall in the hallway, halfway up the stairs, to this day it makes my two boys (2 and 4)smile when they go up and down the stairs. Worth every penny i paid. One of those things that will probably stick in their mind for years to come, like a picture i used to look at in my moms house when i was a kid.
