Invader • Invasion Prints 09, by Nico on Jan 4, 2010 13:01:44 GMT 1, because they are the best.
Have you actually seen others (other than on POW) to say that or is it just from the general opinion on this forum? The Red Invasion is just as good I think. The "eyes" have a metallic colour that's brilliant.

Invader • Invasion Prints 09, by Nico on Dec 29, 2009 21:39:25 GMT 1, I think you should all stop worrying (for those who do) about how it will be sent...out of anyone sending, POW for sure know what they are doing. Mine hasn't arrived but I'm sure it'll be fine (unless Royal mail f**ks it up but that's another matter) ;D POW certainly know how to sell prints and they have made efforts to improve packaging but as an overseas buyer receiving a mint print in my experience is almost impossible.
Even in a good tube like the Black Rat? Recently I bought a print from POW and they send it in a wide tube like these...should be fine for the invader. (Actually better than flat as flat can get bent)

Beejoir Oil Cans, by Nico on Dec 29, 2009 20:30:22 GMT 1, I'm not a massive fan of these on an artistic level as it's a pretty lazy concept. I do think it's a clever print though in that it is aimed at the collectomaniacs in this scene who are likely to buy it as the price is reasonable and they like the similar can themes by Banksy/Warhol/Shep/MBW/insert any other 'street artist and this seems to fit.
I thought the same but didn't want to really upset all the Beejoir lovers here. A bit lazy, done before, in the exact same way (different colourways,..) OK, cheap as chips but not much more to it.

Banksy 2010, by Nico on Dec 29, 2009 13:52:15 GMT 1, Again 2009 has been a pretty impressive year for Banksy I think at the start of 2009 nobody would have predicted Banksy having a show at the Bristol City Museum. So what could he do in 2010 that would be just as unpredictable?
Tate Modern! ;D

Best print of 2009, by Nico on Dec 28, 2009 17:51:58 GMT 1, -Invader POW release -Dface Punk Queen (orange) (surely not everyone's cuppa but looks amazing, even better with a MFM frame) -Guy Denning "the Spire", can't go wrong for 25 quid!

NEW - Banksy's Regents Canal, London, by Nico on Dec 24, 2009 10:08:54 GMT 1, Come on...these guy are out of their mind. All B did was "upgrade" Robbo's piece. Left the best part of it and now a lot of people who hadn't heard of robbo or seen his piece will (partially). They are saying "death to the cunt"...things like that...they are out of their little minds. Saying also "the gravity of this act"... "will have repercussions"...they talk just like the people who criticise graffiti after a beautiful boring grey wall gets graffed. Lucky this lasted 25 years, now it can last longer with a little help from B.

Are print numbers important to you?, by Nico on Dec 24, 2009 9:39:12 GMT 1, Apparently the lower numbers are a better print quality, but I've really never seen a difference. True that number 1 is usually quite valued but very hard to get as usually kept by the artist to give to friends,etc..
I just got my Insect "Anatomy of Love" (Special edition) from POW, not to everyone's taste...IMO a great print, great in the flesh (if you can say that of a print) and it's number 25/25.
Last one but somehow a perfect number I find.
Bottom line for me is...oh well... ;D

Another NEW Banksy Print Soon?, by Nico on Dec 22, 2009 12:10:22 GMT 1, sighhhhh - the next print won't be till mid-2010 at the earliest - now a max of 2 prints a year. This thread is pointless , enjoy pic's of his streetwork and remember that's what this is all about. Unbelievable thread to create. Thanks for the info' Nex. It's kind of you to let us all know there will only ever be a maximum 2 prints released per year and that the next release in scheduled for mid-2010. I hope Banksy and POW don't mind you posting this info publicly, but I'm sure you have a solid source. While we're at it, perhaps we should all just throw away any Banksy prints we have, as that and all the other commercial enterprises he's involved in, aren't what it's about. I'm sure he just throws all the income straight in the bin! If your only interest is the streetwork, why not stick to the street art board and then the rest of us ninkempoops won't bother you with our ignorance and stupid threads?!
hehe...I LIKE! ;D

Lottery, just for interest, by Nico on Dec 22, 2009 11:56:17 GMT 1, I had well over 10 friends and family register and no one got a hit....Odds were probably more like 125-1
125-1!? Well if you see that you only with your familly registered 10 times, there must be closer to a few hundred thousand registrations. Sounds too much? 300000 people went to Bristol to see his exhib' so add the people abroad...you're talking A LOT MORE THAN 125-1! ;D

NEW - Banksy's Regents Canal, London, by Nico on Dec 21, 2009 19:45:55 GMT 1, These are brilliant pics... wish I could take a landscape like this. Do you use a tripod and slow shutter speed, or do you over saturate the colours? Love the rest of your Flickr as well! Nice one. J
Thx Jaimes!
I used a tripod and 3 combined exposures. (and a few stones to get rid of the odd pigeon in the shot!)
Yeah, I could post only pictures of street art and stuff, but I have other things I'm interested in shooting.
