Over a grand, why?, by pramface on Jan 21, 2008 21:30:46 GMT 1, why?
because it is a fucking great print thats why. why would anyone pay over 1k for a dface lenticular cartoon? "personally" i think that is a pile of shite.
i think you will find all art is subjective.

I think Bast is a legend, I used to think he was poo then I realised there's a fine line between poo and genius - he's on the genius side for me!

Hand finishing seems to be the in thing at the moment if the artist isnt throwing a bit of xmas glitter on it they are spilling coffee all over something .

If I had to chose between a print covered in glitter or coffee or whatever else, or one that stands on its own merits then most definately, I think it is just another gimmick to sell prints to the gullible public, A lot of artists seem to be running out of ideas .just by saying it is hand finishes obviously floats some peoples boat but not mine im afraid.

says who? you?
yeah this joker Bast has obviously seen what failes been up to right? decided 'hand finishing' is de rigeur right now.
not like he has been at the forefront of this scene for years and 'hand finishing' his prints all that time as well.
do your research before you slag an artist like Bast off otherwise you just sound like an idiot.

I love the whole hand finishing thing
I've an Aiko London Special from the SG and love the hand finishing... the only problem lies in the fact its a bit of a gamble.. I've seen others of the same print I didn't like the hand finishing on

Over a grand, why?, by valeha on Jan 21, 2008 22:15:08 GMT 1, I think a lot of people assume Bast is someone who jumped on the 'urban art' bandwagon, without realising how long he's been around and that far from a follower he's a pioneer.
I certainly don't think his hand embellished prints are a gimmick! For me it's the next best thing after an original!
Loucastle I don't think you can generalise about artists using hand finishing as they can't think of anything better (or however you put it) No matter who it is, there will be reason they bother to hand finish it - coffee stain, glitter etc...it's part of expressing themselves through the piece.

G-man I agree - with bast it is a gamble - he's a nutty one - but also it makes it exciting and individual - take Harveyn's Mickey for example - Bast went crazy on it - and it may not be everyone's cup of tea but it's individual and, I think, bloody brilliant!

All I was saying is that I think this sort of thing is OTT. my personal opinion, if others care to buy this stuff then, way to go.

First of all, BAST and Banksy are two different artists who is talented in different ways. Why compare? Second, BAST will be the greatest artist to emerge in the long run out of all the artists discussed on this board. No doubt in my mind.
As for the price of the Mickey glitter...it's in line. Not a great price, not a bad price. Chances are, in the short run, you'll see the market price for this diminish...the first one sold usually goes high.
