The Adam Neate Booby Prize, by My Name is Frank on Nov 12, 2008 23:33:28 GMT 1, This is for those unlucky few who might be going home empty handed after scouring the streets of Old London Town on Friday night in the cold and dark (and probably wet) for hours trying to hunt down the illusive Adam Neate street pieces.
Fear not, there is a booby prize courtesy of your friends Lef and Tery. These 4 pieces will be carelessly distributed in the London Bridge area (narrows it down a bit, eh?) for any unlucky soul to stumble upon just as they've given up the ghost after a fruitless stroll around town.
We're fully aware that they're not exactly up to the standards of Mr Neate but they could make the journey home slightly less bitter tasting if you found yourself with one tucked under your arm. They might not be bubble wrapped, but they have been lovingly hand sprayed by yours truely.
3 pieces on tempered glass, black on one side with a metallic silver totem on the other. And 1 gold on an old blackboard scavenged from a house clearance.
As you can see, the middle one on the glass had an unfortunate ammount of drippage and will be cleaned up and resprayed before friday.
In these times of credit crunching it's always nice to get something for nothing. Happy hunting. Leftery

We'll take "aint that bad" as a generous compliment
But don't go getting your hopes up for using any of these as a coffee table. Please see the first pic for size scale against the spray cans. The glass pieces are/were computer table shelves which lent themselves nicely to "the cause". We did a HUGE version a while back on an old double glazed window. These could be its siblings.

The Adam Neate Booby Prize, by My Name is Frank on Nov 14, 2008 9:58:55 GMT 1, A note to anyone who's interested: sadly there will only be 2 of the 3 glass versions going out tonight. I attempted to redo the messy one last night for it to have dried nicely for tonight, but annoyingly realised it was a bit wonky (for those of you who aren't familiar with this old English phrase it means "to be on the wonk", "pi$$ed", "not straight"). So, that will make the bin men of Southwark Council's lives a bit easier when picking these things up and tossing them into their skip as they will only have to do it twice instead of a back-breaking three times. In fact it did me a favour as I had to carry these badboys in to work today and they were heavy enough without the 3rd one. Who's idea was this anyway??!! Oh yeah. Anyway, one will definitely be going in the same location as one of our other bits did. You'll have to have a look at our Flickr site if you need a clue. A tourist was taking a pic of one of our towers here. This is just a bit of fun but if anyone does find one then let us know. The blackboard will be going somewhere local too. Happy hunting/stumbling. Cheers, Lef

I'm planning a few drops myself around the east of London, so a booby booby prize for those who don't get yours! Free art Friday, should become a tradition i'm thinking.....

The Adam Neate Booby Prize, by My Name is Frank on Nov 15, 2008 15:44:28 GMT 1, Excellent!! Congrats for not coming home empty handed (like me!). Tery was off busy with family commitments but that didn't stop me trawling round London for about 3 hours on my own, scanning every nook and cranny for anything that looked remotely Neate-like. My highlight was picking up a free newspaper that someone had left on the train on the way back to suburbia. Our pieces were left in the Borough Market area of London Bridge. Would make my day to hear that at least one of them went to a good home.
Schlomo, one last thing, what's up with the "M" on your tag on your pieces? Its got one too many legs (on purpose?). Just an observation. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers, Lef

The Adam Neate Booby Prize, by My Name is Frank on Nov 16, 2008 13:44:35 GMT 1, Was down there early doors, about 6ish on friday night (seems like ages ago now). Propped one up by the Globe pub, one by the Pure Evil butterflies opposite the Bunch of Grapes and one by McDonalds. I'm guessing the binmen had them. There WILL be more!!!

The Adam Neate Booby Prize, by schlomo on Nov 16, 2008 16:21:48 GMT 1, I know what you mean mate, haven't had a friday like that in years! There was still a fair bit of rubbish out when i was there Lef, so don't think the binmen had been yet.
If you could leave one of the next ones near old street i'd be more than happy to give it a home!

The Adam Neate Booby Prize, by idiom on Nov 18, 2008 17:53:43 GMT 1, I had a great time on Friday night out and about on the streets of London. I did manage to snag one of the Neate's and also put up a few of my own pieces whilst wandering the streets. Apologies for the poor photography but i was a little drunk by the end...
