Your best buy in 2011 & plans for 2012, by Greekboy on Dec 13, 2011 1:35:00 GMT 1, Some amazing pieces on display. It's a pleasure to see such beautiful works represented in our small community.
2011 was the year that I made the progression from prints to originals concentrating mostly on the work of resident NY'ers BAST and Judith Supine. That meant losing the majority of my collection or putting a large chunk of it for sale to make it a reality, but I think it was well worth it.
Purchasing a house for the first time this year and getting hit with unexpected expenses on a weekly basis, means that 2012 will be a year of paying off bills and unfortunately, no artwork for a long time. Very difficult to do with so much amazing work that's been released. I've been trying to avoid the forums to lessen the temptation.
These are my favorite acquisitions of the year and many thanks to some great forum members and artists that made it happen.

....this has been wrapped up until completion, which should be before Xmas. Like many others, spent 2011 moving onto originals.

Your best buy in 2011 & plans for 2012, by manty on Dec 13, 2011 20:54:03 GMT 1, I am going to get a Waleska heart
A Jago a big one
A Neate 3D not too big
A nice Replete canvas 900 x 600
And maybe a cheeky little banksy (print) 750mm x 500mm
lastly I hopefully will bag a big fuck off Vermin 6'x6'
I may have to sell some stuff first, or work harder

Your best buy in 2011 & plans for 2012, by kel on Dec 14, 2011 12:41:31 GMT 1, This is an excellent thread some seriously great art on here have to say Urban Portrait Commissions loving that Vincent Brown commission. As for my best buy of the year has to be the Keyes that I had been after for a long time and eventually a great forum member helped me out.
As for plans for 2012 after looking at Cardiff's Katrin Fridicks I realize I should have bagged one from Circleculture. But like Rperry I really need to cut the art buying down and buy either more frames or more archival sleeves.
This art is addictive

Your best buy in 2011 & plans for 2012, by rowan on Dec 14, 2011 12:52:16 GMT 1, I bought an Invader Scream & Keyes for my brother and a Dolk or two for myself, but after moving back home I've just bought a few standard Eine & Obeys!
Turning 30 next year so I'll hopefully tick Invader & Banksy off my wanted list!
Kel you have far to many tubes there unframes, you should just post them out Secret Santa style or swap em for an original piece! Ha ha and yes it is addictive!

Your best buy in 2011 & plans for 2012, by RPM on Dec 14, 2011 15:14:37 GMT 1, sean, that Mr. Jago "Caspian" is lovely. Congrats! If you find you simply do not have enough wall space in your new home addition, let me know as I wouldn't mind lending a hand and taking the piece off your hands.
And greekboy, I will forever be jealous of you for that Choe. I'm still kicking myself for not having enough funds on hand to pick it up when it was offered. Congrats and I hope you enjoy it for many years to come!

This is most definitely my favorite Goldie print. Great catch, would love to see it once it is framed and up on the wall.

Yes, it's a "baby" Stik I bought on Stik's Solo Show, at the Mile End in Dรยฉcembre 2009. It's an original, on wood. Here's a better pic of it:

Very nice. I bought the large signed and numbered one which cost a pretty penny. Its a great looking print but it wasn't cheap. I might sell it to a buddy to free up some cash. But it might me a sale that I regret sooner than later. Truly a stunner.

Did not know that there was a larger one. Cannot wait to get my one framed but will no doubt not get off of my back side to get it done for ages but that's life for you.
What size is yours and was it a screen or similar to the cheap skate version?
