Urban Art Association

Ebay. Shows the true market value and no hard sell. Sometimes the packaging could be a little better though.

My limited experience of Red Propeller has also been excellent (they even divert their calls to private numbers on Good Friday!). I could say very similar of TLSG, Stella Dore, Copro Nason and others. This is one of the very few industries where I believe that most suppliers try to be as helpful and pleasant as possible. This, for me, is one of the little quirks that has made collecting even more enjoyable than it is purely for it's own sake and buying as addictive as it is. Great service should be the norm' and there is never any need to repeat purchase from pooheads, with so many great vendors out there.

I agree with Harveyn. Frankie at CampBarbossa is the man! Always a pleasure to deal with and always fair. Can't ask any more than that( oh and some great art also).

I have to agree about ebay I don't think its very good, its just full of people wanting to make money off the back of artists, I would prefer if the money went to the artist to show the appreciation for the piece of work they have produced.

campbarbossa gets my vote too, frankie is great to deal with

This is a tough one because the standards are generally so high, RP, BRP, Art-El, Tunnadine etc. (Leigh Tunnadine is superb and really knows her stuff).
There are a few online galleries that have a lot of improving to do too.
My opinion hasn't changed since the Urban Art Awards - Frankie at Camp Barbarossa takes some beating when it comes to customer service. He really does give a shit about what he does. And that counts.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Edge Art are like when they launch on 5th May.

sorry i would disagree Campbarossa is a reseller, you would think at the prices that frankie charges, he would give a s**t. So no, he doesnt get my vote.

I am actually going to add to my vote and say POW, I think for all the demands that people make on them, they still get on with it, they are only bad, when people cannot get the print they want, and they have been the pioneers of the urban art scene, and you have to take your hat off to them, as they are always ahead of the rest of the galleries.

Alsbabar I agree about POW. The only gripe I have ever had about them was their packaging and they have sorted that out now as well.

Frankie is far more than a reseller. He's a primary seller of many artists prints including cyclops and herakut and is prepared to take chances on artists not many have heard of - like Labrona. He's also a very nice bloke and a gooner to boot ;D

Thanks for making that clear for alsabar, pez. However, on realising Frankie's a gooner, I'm afraid he now loses my vote!

I can't believe Frankie's a gooner. I'm gutted. Thought he was such a top bloke until I heard that. Still, I'll try to be impartial when I buy something he has on offer (especially if it's exclusive!). Sounds like his customers are all extremely satisfied. And even though I haven't bought from him yet, I'd like to echo Pezlow's point, that Frankie is not "just a reseller" he has some great prints at the same prices as TLSG and other outlets in many cases. No-one is forced to hand over money or click buy if they don't feel a deal is fair. Plus, from my interaction with him on here, he seems the sort of bloke who'd be quite prepared to negotiate if approached.

Outer Edge Studio. I have been to their place in Monterey, CA and Andrew was very friendly and a great host. Mail-order-wise, the recent David Choe prints I bought were packed well, shipped quick, and looked great.

Ah, coach - another Palace fan...nice one. Eagles!

I have to say Baurmann Gallery as I thought I missed the Mear One print 'David and Goliath', but due to their help and a bit of luck, I managed to get one. Great customer service.

Indeed! Fingers crossed for a nice trip to Wem-ber-lee in May
