I bought them at a higher price than they are now, so they may never be worth more than i paid, but i don't care.

Agreed. FF being one, which I just picked up for just under $2000 USD. Glad to see the price on AM stuff finally stabilizing...

Tho I readily admit I'm no expert, from what I've seen so far his range seems to be pretty narrow. Not to mention he's relatively new on the scene, so it's not like he's already stood the test of some time. Saying any artist still young in his career will stand the test of time is a fairly bold statement, except when the artist truly has accomplished something(s) extraordinary, as Banksy has clearly done.

try looking at what antony has achieved, his 2nd prize alone in the BP portrait prize alone is a massive achievement, also his ability is astounding. i'm hardly an expert but i've been round enough galleries and seen people from piccasso to lichtenstien and a lot of others in between, and each one has a distinctive style and technique, antony too has that knack.
what will set him apart, or at least keep him in the game, will be his subject matter and content. if he stays at the cutting edge then i think he can go all the way, if he stands still and takes anything for granted then he will get chewed up and spat out.
i'm more than happy with the art of his i have and hope to add to it in the future.

But the Eyestorms, Laz's 50 editions and some of the PoW prints will always be in demand. The quality of this work is superb and will always appeal to an art buying public. As long as the supply doesn't outstrip the demand, it is inevitable that the price will be tasty. Bottom line, for me, is that I think he is an exceptional talent and regardless of market trends, I'll continue to collect his work.

the BP portrait prize is not 'just another trophy' it is a massive deal, alright antony came second and it was a few years ago but it goes to show his talent transcends many artistic genres and as such his following is more diverse than any artistr regularly mentioned on this forum, fact.

If this was the one on Ebay it had a 22% buyers premium attached so the winner would have paid just under 1,700 for the print!
