The kid's art collections, by Coach on Oct 30, 2010 0:16:50 GMT 1, Cool collection Coach. Love the stencils done earlier in the thread, I must remember to buy some cans for the xmas stockings :-)
Thanks Manty. I do love cutting and spraying with the kids - great fun. I insist they wear masks to spray - suspect they think that makes it a bit cooler!
Look forward to seeing the results.

The kid's art collections, by Coach on Oct 30, 2010 0:29:17 GMT 1, wow you have one lucky kid, does he ask for them to send him stuff or do they just send him stuff because he's small/cute tec? i may have to enrole my 10yr old sister to bag me some goodies!
Hi mgk1.
Its a mixture really. The first pieces in his collection came from Jef Aerosol. I Took him to Jef's exhibition in Islington a few years ago, and he loved it. Jef was often on the forum at that time, so I suggested he sent a message to Jef letting him know what he thought of the show. Jef replied asking my lad about his own pieces. Several messages later, and my lad sent Jef a couple of pics he had drawn. A few weeks later, I got a call from my lad who could hardly speak from excitement - he had a big parcel from Jef, including the pigeons piece above, a bob dylan piece and a used red arrow stencil!! So very kind of Jef.
Aftere this we arranged to meet Jef at an exhibition of his in Lille in France, and as we expected, he was a charming man.
Other pieces he has won in competitions - the ryca piece for example.
Some have been sent to him - eg the Delboyy piece recently - thanks mate.
Lots of the pieces are in his sketch book that he takes with him when we go to events like Upfest, Whitecross street party, Bedford Street Gallery etc - he just asks artists if they would tag his book. Some tag it, some do a doodle, and some spend an age doing a beautiful piece for him (check the ill joseph sketch!).
Point being it shows the kindness of so many of the atrists involved in this scene.
Collecting art has become something that he loves, which is just fine by me.
Cheers

That's what I like so much about street art is the genuine kindness of artists.
Great post!!

The kid's art collections, by Coach on May 22, 2011 19:13:47 GMT 1, Love the Hirst/Banksy homage above!!
Latest additions to the lad's book, from Sand Sea and Spray
He was thrilled meeting the legends that are the Toasters!!
Really good of T.WAT to spend the time doing this with him. Excuse the paper sticking - he had to do it on the floor of a bus station!
Book full. New one bought already, for Upfest in 2 weeks!!
Cheeky lil' sod!

The kid's art collections, by Coach on Jun 3, 2011 20:01:39 GMT 1, I've got a couple of huge thank you's to say.
First a massive thank you to Fragile.
A little while ago I got a message saying he had something for my lad.
Yesterday in the post arrives a big box addressed to him.
Inside the box is a very heavy rucksack:
Intriguing!
Inside the bag was 10 unoped brand new cans of Belton in various colours. Just how kind is that!
He spent the day cutting and spraying, so chuffed!!
He made this - he called it Winnie the Boom!
Thank you so much Fragile - he was thrilled to bits.
Second up, a massive thank you to Fingerz.
He also got in touch to say he had something for him.
That arrived on the same day - it was like Xmas!
This was a parcel jam packed with stickers. He loves stickers - several members have sent some to him, and his bed is covered with them.
Fingerz - he was chuffed to bits with these too.
I asked him to bring the pile down so I could post a pic of them too - no such luck - he has already stuck them all up!!
Thank you to both Fragile and Fingerz - fabulous random acts of kindness, and that makes the world a little bit of a better place in my book!
Cheers

Great to hear things like this still happen.
Silky I think you should st up awards for members here who are doing great things like this. Some come here to avoid ebay fees while flipping the latest print. Others are so very helpful and make this a place worth coming to. It would be great if some of those big contributors who have done a lot for me and others were recognized.
