the books just keep getting better... Great stuff from Jef, he's a class act...

Sweet as ever. Outstanding work Hush and a huge thanks. Good work Anthony @ Opus for helping out.

Book 2 now off to Nick Walker

Sugar Red



Sugar Grey

If they are sold as a book - they will be broken up and sold anyway - so break them up and sell them off before someone else does!

Great work - by the way!

What a success this is turning out to be. Great work by all the artists involved. Thanks for keeping it going and sharing it's development, Harveyn.

No doubt, more money will be made if the books are split - although some of the artists works will not fetch that much - some of the artists works will go through the roof.

Remember, this is real original stuff.

Split the books - before a big fat art wallet buys the lot and then breaks them up, puts them in a float frame and sell them - one by one.

IMO - of course.

If they are not split - how can they be displayed without becoming tatty over time (or ever time you turn a page)?

books are snapshot of how the art community is right now... for someone to rip them up i dont know would feel like splitting up small part of history... im sure somewhere was explained what would happen to the books... all i can say is that is amazing by hush... i thought it was on canvas...s

Absolutely amazing...man i love this f'in forum...so much sick shizzzz comin out of here..great book and IMO it should be split up too. Obv it's going to get split eventually and it gives everyone a chance to get a piece of the book. Hence, making each piece more collectable. Then ppl will be trying to acquire certain pieces to make there own little framed book! hope that doesn't sound too cmplicated to comprehend. PEACE

I have to say that the spiral binding is quite fragile and it's hard to open the book without the pages getting off that spiral thing... Besides, I was the last one in that book (there are three books altogether) and only 1/5 of the pages have been used. So, my suggestion would be to make only ONE book with all the painted pages of the 3 books and bind them in a way the pages can't be taken off and split. That would make a mighty piece of art, a nice book of originals for some serious collector. It would also allow to put some thinner protection pages in between each page and also maybe a page or two with some text about the cause etc... It's a great cause so maybe some wealthy people would be ready to give a good price.
These books are a concept, splitting them up would be a bad move away from the original project, methink...

100 % agree. I don't think it should be any other way. If only it could be made a condition of the sale, but we don't live in that world unfortunately.

Yet again, just catching up with this thread again after another swathe of weeks have passed by (last look in was when Dale Grimshaw's pieces were added) and the books are just getting better and better! The two contributions from Rourke really stand out IMO... it really is high time he started to gain more general recognition for his talent as it seems (as far as I know) to be largely only recognised on this forum and much less so outside the forum's boundaries. Excellent stuff all round though - in years to come I can see these books being absolutely invaluable as a nutshell collection of the street art movement and some of the names that go to make it so great! Outstanding work by all artists involved (and of course by Harveyn and Ged for all the organisation!)

I look forward to seeing the last few updates.

tis is real cool, love these books

OK, my suggestion to go into the mixing pot if it hasnt been mentioned before is..................make 300 or so limited editions of the book, sell 300 tickets for around £50-£100 each, 300 people get a limited edition book and one lucky entry gets the originals

or, just sell me the books, its much easier all round ;-)

Looks like a collection of good work there Harveyn! (that Case piece looks a little odd though so i reckon its best to let me have that one NOW ;D ;D).
