Well, it's official....no more CASH!, by Moron on Jun 26, 2008 13:29:49 GMT 1, I will not be buying any more art until the end of the year unless it's 1XSPQR Canvas.
Money's run dry and saving up for that SQPR canvas!
Anyone else in this position (excluding the specific SPQR reference)?

Well, it's official....no more CASH!, by hlarmy on Jun 26, 2008 14:01:38 GMT 1, I know the feeling. I've spent far too much in the past year so have now decided to hold back for a while. There's a few pieces that I would still consider buying if they came along at the right price but other than that I'm with you Moron.
It's always important to keep a little back as you never know what's just around the corner

I don't mean to insult the guy in any way, obviously works his socks off, i'm just interested to hear why peeps are so into his work, I haven't been that blown away by the images myself, although I did find a 5th man around Jamaica street in Bristol the other day.

Just off Gloucester road around Stokes Croft area, near Dighton street I think. I recommend everyone who can should go for a wander around that area, loads of little pieces knocking about, some mau mau bees on lamp-posts, two C215s (one plastered over by a bloody flyer), a pink 45rpm owl as well as some lovely anti-mudwig slogans, always welcome.

It is good to see that this art market is bankrupting our teenage youth.

Well, it's official....no more CASH!, by bmjt on Jun 26, 2008 16:21:18 GMT 1, Haha, yes, simple really, stop buying art! Debt is inevitable, but don't let it get out of control. This country will never learn. Saving for the future is a no-brainer, but is more important now than ever.
Saying that, I've got a massive list of art to buy.....almost wish I'd never got into this street art basnass...

Well, it's official....no more CASH!, by ninja on Jun 26, 2008 16:48:00 GMT 1, I was actually doing not too badly until last month when every artist apart from Banksy seemed to be topping up their holiday fund. I wouldn't have bought some of the earlier stuff if I had known what was coming later.
I have never actually sold anything which I have bought but I think that any purchases in the next couple of months are going to have to be funded by some sales.
The big problem is that I don't really have much which I would choose to sell so it is going to be painful

Well, it's official....no more CASH!, by maadbeats on Jun 26, 2008 16:52:15 GMT 1, Note: Try not to buy Art on a CC. Unless, you can pay it off by the end of the month. You are paying some high interests on that piece. Good forbid you fall on hard times, the market shifts and you need to let it go. Now you paid more for that piece and you wont be able to recoup the original cost. Be responsible out there.

ART IS NICE, BUT SLEEPING ON THE STREET IS VERY BAD FOR YOUR BACK.
