They gave me an amazing Rhys Brown / Euan Roberts original called Beer Bears. The first collaboration that these guys have done. They also gave me the most amazing birthday cake. This is wonderful. Happy birthday, God bless you and your family.

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by mrizzle on Nov 20, 2021 10:17:32 GMT 1, Iโve been a fan of Fin Dacโs work for a number of years and, though Iโd always harboured the ambition to own an original piece, it never really seemed like a terribly realistic proposition thatโd I would ever own one. . However, his recent โAfterglow/Undertowโ show finally presented an opportunity so I grabbed it with both handsโฆand some pleading emails to West. While itโs unlikely Iโll ever be able to buy a large original painting (though Iโm not giving up on the dream quite yet), this is the result of those emails/wishes:ย
Adele 2021
Hand drawn by the artist with Staedtler Micrograph pencil and watercolour on to 300gsm art paper. 210 x 297mm/ 357 x 270 x 6mm in two piece perspex frame with aluminium corner screws.
Signed, numbered 1/1 and stamped by the artist to the front.
Each sketch has a hand written โstory/anecdoteโ by the artist on his first meeting with the subject on the reverse. (Iโm keeping it to myself though, itโs nice to have something unshared.)
I did also buy a show print โFleur Li - 05โ. Itโs an interesting change of look and feel for Fin and the diamond dust adds a nice new element of depth to the finish. Each is also subtly hand finished (the painting on the lips).ย

Had a great transaction with a true gent on here, something I have been after for a while, a Stik 'Hip' poster from The Big Issue -
Had this little original stencil on a bit of cardboard from Agent Provocateur for a couple of years, always enjoyed it -

Well, this piece is now back from MFM having made the decision to frame it. My thinking was that I wanted to protect it longer-term and also find a way of doing so that would complement the piece and work alongside some of my other framed pieces. In truth, the exposed pine surround it came with never really worked (for me). Really happy with the finished result and, once again, have to thank MFM for all his help with this one. Thereโs a reason why I use him for all my pieces.ย

My word is 'Lemmy', quite surprised to find my dogs name 'Flo' along side Stella Artois and Malbec. Jay

Incidentally, that Mary beard computer print photostat edition of 50 with a hand scrawled signature in biro gets put to shame with the effort that went into this. It really doesnโt take much. Super pickup

[...] Johnny Abrahams maxamaxa2Your "broken flail piece" was touched on two years ago in a separate Johnny Abrahams thread *. It looks to me like a Julie Nelson* ceramic. For my own continuing education, I'd be grateful for confirmation as to whether that's correct. They were quite similar but actually made by Julia Schiller Harvey and are raku-burnt. Instagram: instagram.com/jschillerharvey?utm_medium=copy_linkHave two of them
Sorry about my late acknowledgement, and thank you for the informative reply.
After first viewing your close-up photo, I wrongly assumed the crazing was due to crackle-glaze having been used.
It's only after looking up Raku, and watching a couple of videos today on Western raku techniques, that I realised the crazing on your pieces was achieved by the post-firing smoking process.

Yeah I actually doublechecked and it's on its way to California too... it's "Just Gaze" that is still missing! Thanks! It looks very well made! I saw them some time ago but I thought they were already gone and secondary prices were rising already in Japan... great catch! Did you get some other merchandise?
Good news! I just bought this poster. Looks great and it is very good quality. Really decent service from the gallery too.
