he has done alright for himself since then check out
www.vincentbrown.co.uk and check out
the fiqure section and the supper at Ardmen painting he was recently commsioned to do. still find it hard to believe its a painting.

What was your first ever Art Purchase?, by Guy Denning on May 15, 2009 12:59:30 GMT 1, 1981, La Rochelle in France and I spent all my remaining holiday money (50 francs - which was about a fiver I think) on a little expressionistic landscape. Oil on cotton, stretched over wood and long lost now. Being a pencil squeezer myself I'm in the lucky position of frequently (not always) being able to swap work, which makes up for also never having enough disposable in the past to even buy the cheapest early BANKSY prints. But the first thing we bought when we had some moolah was this lovely and mahoosive Simmond's four piece screenprint.

What was your first ever Art Purchase?, by veralynn on May 16, 2009 15:52:47 GMT 1, Love threads like this, being introduced to new talent is one of the reasons I stay on this forum.
Slammer - Wow! Quite incredible, thanks for sharing. Also love the street scene by Ken Keeley, although now has a strangely haunting vibe with the twin towers in it - guess that day won't ever go away....
My first foray was really an Art Republic driven purchase of Banksy WSM in 2004, I sold this to Howlin Hooker back in 2007 and have rued that day ever since. All's not lost though, Hooker being a bloody nice bloke contacted me and told me he was thinking of selling and just this morning I bought it back. It's on my wall! I paid too much in 2004 but they switched me on to the 'scene' and for that I'm thankful.

What was your first ever Art Purchase?, by dudebro17 on May 16, 2009 16:07:46 GMT 1, First was a futura original from marharishi store, managed to get another futura original for free with it... i wanted to hang both together so was pressing and pressing for a price on the second. After much pressing i got a call from Hardy Blechman (owner Maharishi) saying "futura did that for us for free, we couldnt possibly sell it to you so just come and pick it up... its yours". I thought to myself if thats the culture behind this whole scene then i am hooked! and i was... many more paintings and prints later im still going, trying to carry forward and promote that same idea!
great story

What was your first ever Art Purchase?, by Andy'77 on May 16, 2009 17:16:49 GMT 1, Mine was this:  I found out about pow from a couple of guys at work who were into Banksy, i preferred the Faile stuff which was sold out, stumbled across the faile site and bought this for about ยฃ120.. remember thinking it was a stupid amount to spend on a picture at the time! :-) jesus f**king wept!! my favourite print ever that is,and you got it for ยฃ120  i'm very,very jealous.  my first was ghostboys hooch girl print,from red prop.cost me way more than its worth now,but i still love it.
I e-mailed Faile a while ago about the still to be released editions of the above and was told they will be released at some point but after all the Lost in Glimmering Shadows work has been released, so it means there'll be approx another 25 (in 5 editions of 5) released at some point although I'd imagine they'll be slightly more than ยฃ120 and pretty popular on FairQ.

What was your first ever Art Purchase?, by Deleted on Jun 19, 2009 15:08:25 GMT 1, first art related buy were a couple of Keith Haring posters... unfortunatly I dont have them anymore (burned with the rest of the house)... I think I was 7 or so when I bought them!
Couple of years ago.. was still in high school, I saw a documentary about a very quiet guy in London who dropped his paintings in the streets and bought for (at that time for me as a schoolboy) an amazing amount an original painting.. By now you all know mr. Neate!
Since then things got worse and worse.. almost no savings left, but the walls look a lot nicer now!
