Thanks for the kind comments.
I feel like a bit of a hypocrite trading this so soon after all that I went through to get it and how happy I was.
I've enjoyed it on my wall for 3 months, but Futura is my fave artist and one of the reasons I got into the 'game'.
Futura originals are hard to come by, especially the smaller and more affordable ones.
I thought it was worth a go and seeing what is out there and see if I can tempt somebody into a trade.
But i'm more than happy to keep the Banksy on my wall if the right piece doesn't come along.
Though it would be great to do a trade where both parties are happy with what they get!
We'll see what happens..

Unlike a lot of artists, Futura hasn't really documented every stage in his career..so there's loads of small originals on paper, card and canvas that haven't been widely seen.
I found this quote by Deitch interesting;
-------------------------------------
'Another stumbling block in a street-art exhibit is the mediumโs impermanence. Many of these works were never meant to last and, consequently, the historic pieces are lost to the ages. This is an urban culture with a mostly oral history, tales of elaborate masterpieces created in unconventional places in the middle of the night only to be removed at daybreak. The stories and occasional photos are passed down through friends and crews.
As a contrary example, Deitch cites Jeff Koons, one of the worldโs most visible living pop artists. He โunderstands what building an art career is about,โ Deitch says. โHe kept everything. He kept all his drawings, his old photographs, his old work. Very meticulous about when he sold things, he kept records of where they went. So if you wanted to do a book or an exhibition with Jeff Koons, you could walk into his studio and go through the archives.โ
Deitch recalls the struggle of getting a record of the work from other artists. โFutura, whoโs a great artist: โDo you have photos of your old work?โ โAh, no. But we found that some other people had the photos.โ โDid you keep some of your old works?โ โNo.โ โDo you know where the early works went?โ โNo, I never did that.โ โ '

------------------------------------------
So there are lots of hidden gems out there that not even the most diehard Futura fans have seen.
So i'm open to offers..as I don't have anything particular in mind.
Having said that, I would prefer a abstract work...but they seem to be harder to source..
So far I've been offered a lot of pointman pieces using a varity of different mediums from different eras.
My pointman could do with some company!

i reckon best bet would be to try independent small galleries who have some og's for sale and see if they would want to trade off for something more 'liquid' worth a shot... good luck mate!

Yep Fu pieces are hard to wrestle out of collections!
Might have to sell the CYW myself and hold onto the cash until I find the correct piece for sale.
Anyone know where you can get pieces by Futura at the mo?
I know Frankie has a couple of pointman works at Campbarbossa.
Maharishi has a couple of pointman canvases and embroidered works.
Artempus had a sketch from the 'Odyssey Two' show.
Anywhere else??!
