www.urbanized.co.uk, by bigbiscuits on Mar 15, 2016 17:49:26 GMT 1, hey congrats this is a great idea and the product looks fresh! If I might offer some constructive criticism of your site, viewing additional images take way too long to load (10 to 15 seconds for me). People just bolt when they have to wait more than a couple seconds. Might want to have smaller images load for regular browsing and have a separate link to see the very large image. You want to keep people on your site for as long as possible. good luck and hope you sell it all!

www.urbanized.co.uk, by Deleted on Mar 16, 2016 0:40:30 GMT 1, Do you varnish the finished furniture?
That way you could also do paste ups on the furniture in similar ways to lots of street artists, either print out collage glued onto the furniture or even old newspapers or maps etc and then also add graffiti spray too and then varnish on top.

Hi,yes we do add several coats varnish,but in the case of the graffed up table we used spray laqueur.The reason for this is because we didn't want to loose the paint texture,the runs drips ect.We want it to replicate a true street art piece,as much as we can. I guess your right about paste ups,that's quite a good idea.I think it'll look pretty cool as well,I'll speak to the guys later.
Thanks

I guess your right about paste ups,that's quite a good idea.I think it'll look pretty cool as well,I'll speak to the guys later. Thanks Paste ups could work well with graff and it's easy to find big posters and stuff , like celebrities faces to paste up and color and graff on top. Big Ben and cats and dogs and weird stuff. Little wellington boots or similar glued on the bottom of table legs.
An old car door with the glass in it, scuffed down paint and graffed over that has four metal legs welded under it, that can make a great side table.
I had an idea a while back about cutting the back off a van about a foot to two feet and welding a panel on the back and using it upright on small legs as a wardrobe in a house.
Sort of stuff Chelsea decorators love to buy. No one liked my idea but i'm in France

If the artist is keen on it, it may add "story" to the pieces as well as give the artist some additional publicity. Sounds like a win-win to me in particular as the artists' careers grow.
