Re: Can anyone identify this artist please?, by neville on Jul 6, 2008 22:25:20 GMT 1, Bought this recently off the bay, two were sold but neither seller knew who the artist was or where they bought them other than a gallery in Bristol, edition of 5. Any information greatly appreciated, it's driving me mad!

Re: Can anyone identify this artist please?, by neville on Jul 6, 2008 22:40:47 GMT 1, This looks like its working. It was my husband's idea to bid for this, I have a TMA London and I know this isn't Nick Walker, but he knows best!! Looks a bit like a Ripper 1331 palm tree I saw on here a while back, had the same transmitter things on it.

Re: Can anyone identify this artist please?, by neville on Jul 7, 2008 13:05:51 GMT 1, will post a closeup of the man tonight, can't do it at work. Don't think it would help much though, it's really the signature I hope might jog someone's memory. It's a really nice clean screenprint, not any old rubbish, so hopefully he will have done some other work!

Re: Can anyone identify this artist please?, by neville on Jul 7, 2008 16:38:02 GMT 1, I have some screenprints (Blek, Faile, Nick Walker) and various other types of print and originals, and this is most like the silkscreen prints. Could be something else of course, but I'm sure it's not a photocopy. It's printed on a sort of thin card I think, and it's not varnished, but the colours are very well defined.
Here is a close up of the figure:

Re: Can anyone identify this artist please?, by neville on Jul 7, 2008 18:07:00 GMT 1, I contacted both the seller of my print 2/5 and the seller of 3/5 and neither could tell me anything - the second seller put his on ebay after seeing mine sell for what he must have thought was a reasonable price.
I also tried to contact the second buyer in the hope he bought 'cos he knew who it was by, but I haven't heard from him yet. I've checked both sellers' ebay sales and there's nothing there to suggest in any way this is a set-up or that there is a production line somewhere of pseudo Nick Walker work.
It's a certainly a good quality print in it's own right and it's on my wall to be enjoyed, I didn't expect it to be by any well known artist but I would still like to know who they are.

Re: Can anyone identify this artist please?, by daz205 on Jul 8, 2008 16:05:44 GMT 1, could be that its just by some bloke called andy, who decided to flog some prints on ebay to make some cash, or is that too simple?

Re: Can anyone identify this artist please?, by neville on Jul 8, 2008 16:43:24 GMT 1, it's not for sale, I'm not a guy and I couldn't draw/paint to save my life. I would just like to know who it's by and maybe see some of their other work?

Re: Can anyone identify this artist please?, by seidbereit on Jul 8, 2008 16:55:49 GMT 1, For a second I thought it may have been by Antiz unfortunately the signature is wrong (as is the style). Sorry, no help at all.

Re: Can anyone identify this artist please?, by neville on Jul 9, 2008 21:55:10 GMT 1, thanks to all of you who took the trouble to rack your brains over this one -if you ever come across "Andy" perhaps you would be good enough to find this post and let me know!

Re: Can anyone identify this artist please?, by neville on Jul 10, 2008 18:22:43 GMT 1, Snakes, your link is to the second print that sold, not mine. This buyer didn't go ahead with the purchase but someone else bought it who thought he was getting a Nick Walker, and is very keen to find out the real artist. I bought mine knowing it definitely wasn't Nick but I was intrigued and I liked it enough to buy it for it's own merit and for it's mystery value - been interesting to try and track the artist down, albeit unsuccessfully so far!
Mine came in a nice black frame, and it's has been up on my wall since I got it. I like it more and more, the man in the foreground is very nicely detailed and if I never find out who the artist is, it doesn't matter.
I'm just interested in this in the same way I like to read about other (known) artists whose work I have.
