Customized Prints - BAST, Faile, Miss Bugs etc, by Harveyn on Dec 22, 2007 18:11:59 GMT 1, I must say having moved most of my collection to originals during the course of this year I have found a renewed interest in prints the last couple of months. The thing that has stimulated this interest is when an artist customizes each print.
I must say with the market flooded with excellent prints everywhere this extra effort by artists really make the difference.
My recent Bast purchase edition of 40 must have 60-70% hand added elements by Bast. It really make it feel special and like an original. I also think that the Faile boys have recognized this with their low editions and hand finished elements (Miss Bugs has also tapped into this by only producing hand customized prints for his first 4 prints).
Just imagine if Banksy would do a hand customized print run of 200 or so..... 
Anybody else concentrating their collection in this way? Any pictures of your favourite piece produced like this.
Here is my Bast all framed up.

I think collections get to a certain size when you have to start asking yourself where is the next work going to hang and for that reason you have to seek out extra special pieces. Hand finished / originals / groundbreaking prints. There are too many prints that i like aesthetically to buy them all.

Customized Prints - BAST, Faile, Miss Bugs etc, by Graffiti Prints on Dec 22, 2007 18:56:25 GMT 1, i started buying originals 2 - 3 years ago after i knocked back a few banksy canvases at the ghetto and thought to myself don't ever make that mistake again.
got eine, bast, faile, bob Gibson, d face, shok1, Logan hicks, copyright, invader tiles, pure evil and tlp originals, they are much better than prints and i only had to stop buying loads of prints and selling a few to do it.
although i have invested a bit, but way i look at it is i can enjoy them when ever i want they look great around framed prints and i can sell them if i hit hard times. i have missed out on hols etc though art and i am determined to change that going forward this year and next as my wife and kids deserve better.
i still got my banksy prints and others but i have also been buying very low runs eg faile cos there much more personal and seem really good value. i also bought that Connor h from laz of 50 cos i wanted a Connor piece and its a run of 50 so not to bad for 800.
its unreal a banksy probably not signed by him and a run of 500 is worth 2k instantly but failes go for 400 - 1k, but thats the banksy factor for u and street art is built on his foundations i would never of bought above if i had not got into banksy from his stencils in London.
i am going to sell half my prints in the next year or two as ART is a addiction and i think i am going clean for a bit, can't buy a banksy for love nor money and all the other artists mentioned above getting very popular and there prices are rising all the time. once i like a artist they soon get to expensive for me.
i think i got my collection now and i am going to concentrate on framing and fill up that limited wall space if i really see something i like i will have to let something go.
all the best and merry Xmas to all.

Customized Prints - BAST, Faile, Miss Bugs etc, by Harveyn on Dec 22, 2007 19:30:07 GMT 1, Hi Pan (JB)
I bought the frame for about ยฃ200 (UVP acrylic).
I had Mantis AFD displayed in it but I took that down today. Its the first print I have taken down which was float mounted using Filmoplast P90 tape. Fantastic stuff. Removed the print so the tape remained on it and then dabbed the tape with distilled water (water soluble) and it came away from the print perfectly.

Customized Prints - BAST, Faile, Miss Bugs etc, by wimpy on Dec 22, 2007 21:16:21 GMT 1, I don't buy mass-run screenprints for just that reason, aside from Banksy.
I would if the image was REALLY catching, but otherwise I usually like to look at work that wasn't done by a machine or through an exacting, repetitive machine-like process.
