Alright, I'll deconstruct this one. The Japanese prints were on the open market, I know, I bought them without any winks or nods, it was simply a race to get them as it's not only things advertised on here go on sale.

His rates have though been high since the Graffik show, where he was still doing canvases for sub £1k (particularly at this price of below if you were mates with him). The Graffik show was not that long ago by the way. But as far as I know he's in a position now not to have to take on multiple commissions, which is entirely his prerogative and shows I assume that he's more than happy to work primarily with galleries. As to doodles, he's an incredibly generous person with his time and in numerous meetings with him I've never seen him turn someone down, so if you're ever in London, I'd be amazed if he said no. Not having a go, but I bet if it was Kaws or such like such comments wouldn't spring up.
