Anyone managed to get one in the lottery?

Thanks thomess.

warning hype

There are currently 16 of the 100 Nick Walker pieces sold in the United States already on the Bay. I also noticed that there are virtually no bids on any of these items. Maybe this print will be like the D'FACE Street Improvements, FAILE Vanity, FAILE Star Spangled, First Great Weston and many other prints that sold out very fast but never retained their value on the secondary market.

What did these retail for today?

had a blast hanging with some board members from the UK who made the journey over from across the pond! Crazy awesome dedication....
Love the print but the hand finished looked amazing! Congrats to those who scored one! I passed due to the print costing 1200 pounds, mental!

Overall it was a great experience and thanks to foodrap for all of the hard work! Anyone have any framing ideas? anyone got a pic of the TMA airways print with the paint dripping down the frame? That frame job was mental!

Well done to genuine fans who bagged a print and bad karma to those who took prints away from genuine fans. I suspect you will make a nice profit although hopefully people will see sense and hold off buying at some of the silly prices being asked.

Like all these releases, CYW being a massive example, there is so much hype things can get carried away. POW, Banksy, etc cannot and probably would not want to stop the hype so perceived demand is greater than supply.

As I would expect Nick was there for the true fans, really genuine guy who has over the years produced some outstanding work. The shirts sound interesting gets around my current lack of wall space. Nice gesture, haven't heard of Mr B doing this?

Seen Art-el and Nick in same room, although both got IMHO bad taste in hats be surprised if they are brothers although that said could be wrong as would never have guessed those two guys in twins were brothers. Thanks Art-el for keeping us updated.

I have put my hat into the lottery ring, I suspect with a lot of others, see whether my number comes up tonight.

Ridiculous.

I'm visiting NY and went yesterday around 10am. I counted around 60 people in line. The line was very spread out so lots of opportunities for people to sneak into the line. I was hungry and didn't feel like waiting for 5 hours with a great chance of not getting anything due to q jumpers so I went to eat. Glad I did had a great meal. Came back around 12. There was more than 100 in line. I went into the gallery and saw some of the APs there. They looked really good. There was one with some of the water cut out. It was a very cool effect. Another had hand painted water.

Nick was there just hanging out. I didn't talk to him because I didn't have anything to say. But seemed like a nice enough guy. So if there were hard core fans there they could have talked his ear off and had a cool experience if they were not too busy obsessing about the print.

I'm glad I got to check out his other work that was there. I was told the canvas pieces started at $12,000 so not for me. But I would have payed $12,000 before I would pay $5000 for the print, if that was what the flippers were selling them for.

Wish I could have got a print at cost but I didn't. I did have a great day in the city and went to the new museum amongst other things. They have a Condor print that I like but didn't get that either. So in the end I saved some money and had a great day. I'm only in the city for 2.5 days so glad I didn't spend half a day in line.

not much chance of that as far as i'm concerned.

very nice., thanks for the pics. love the image.

can you honestly say its like dface SI? not at all. i think its a very appealing piece, yea of course there are many on ebay but what else do you expect to happen, it happens with most releases that are popular images. and i do think this is a popular one. i hope to get one.

and you say first great weston never retained its value. but theres not many available so it has sentimental value surely. so in terms of that sort of value I would say its very successful. and people bought them for that reason. its like saying its not successful unless it has loads of £ against it.

im not hyping, or maybe i am. if i dont get one, i do hope they do go below cost. but highly unlikely.

Can someone point out what work is exactly new in that show? Just looks like all rehashed old stuff. That exploding rat has been around for ages. Please don't say there was a moona lisa or mona simpson there as well as it would just top it off the hat trick

I'll make a bet with you that after the initial bum rush they'll drop in value like a stone year after year.
