Friendly Fire, by nickw on Dec 14, 2006 11:55:58 GMT 1, firstly, i have no idea what the f**k everyone is goping on about re. gold stars. either way, judging by the number of Micaellefs, Grannies, Appluases etc, the market is not being driven by collectors or people appreciate art anymore. that's all i'm pointing out. if you are a capitalist, then cool by me, but hawk your wares on ebay, the tory party conference. i just want the chance to own a FF at a fair price? is there anything wrong in that?
nothing wrong with it, you just missed out, in life there are winners and there are losers

Friendly Fire, by nickw on Dec 14, 2006 12:13:11 GMT 1, i've bought what i've liked previously. no worries. i don't buy EVERYTHING. i missed out on FF, but for the life of me, now you are suggesting i buy something else, which may or not have the same retail value in order to swap for something i wanted to buy in the first place, but was denied the opportunity because people were buying things simply to get rid of? fantastic so my buying JD will deny someone the opportunity to buy it, depriving another collector? got it now.
well done, it took a while

No, I mean the work he's been doing for free on the streets for the past 12 years which is the work that 99% of the people on this and other forums are interested in and what led them into buying a print in the first place. Also, Banksy doesn't sell work, he creates it, others sell it.

My Friendly Fire has now been swapped for a Flying Copper, leaving a Micallef fan very happy and a Bansky fan equally happy with the final trade.
Thanks to everyone who PM'd me with their offers and friendly chat. Thanks also to anyone who contributed anything positive or supportive in this thread.
To the one person who was just a complete tw*t....I expect to read your repetitive, ill-thought out posts on a regular basis in the swaps section.......mmm can't wait (yawn) Merry Christmas!

to be honest if you look at two of the la prints you could make a case on either side of this argument. the 'why do you morons' print could easily prove your side of this issue, however the 'destroy capitalism' print fits in with what i believe, come Monday there will be a line of people ready to buy a print they have never seen and banksy will be making a nice profit from it. capitalism at its finest

Well you do the math, 12 years on the streets, kicking the door of the 'Fine Art' world in, bringing tens of thousands of new fans to street art, providing a non threatening way into visual art and encouraging thousands to try their hand at the same.. I don't care how much Mr B has earned over the past 2-3 years.. nothing could finance the difference he's made to a lot of lifes, I said he didn't like and certainly didn't love Capitalism. His work would never have existed, and we certainly wouldn't be discussing it on here today if he did.

All the money from that print goes to charity amigo. The festival print just highlights the hypocrisy of people buying into systems and artists and bands etc as a fashion. It basically rips the piss out of anyone into it for superficial wannbe reasons. It's also quite funny and a complete paradox ! As someone who runs a music and street art festival with an ethical sponsor policy, I can attest to this first hand. which is why it was the first LA print I bought.

Dissagreed ;D . Look at the work, he's an artist, not a fucking politician or economist. He just takes the piss in a very intelligent artistic way. You guys are way off. He's been doing this for over a decade. What you're seeing is a little recent blip.. he'd be doing this without the hype and finance, has done for as long as I remember. It's not about fucking prints and money and collecting and investment banker wannabe's. Those are the issues you bring to the table, he's been around a lot longer than you seem to think and will still be around when most on here have moved onto the next fad. Micallef for example

Yeah, Adam's a star, and really unique approach to street work. apparently he was walking to college one day with a load of drawings, got fed up and gave em to Oxfam. Went back the next day and they were outside. Thought, damn, even Oxfam don't want my work. So he left em leaning against the wall on his way home.. one at a time.. went back the next day and they were all gone, and so began his mission to give away his work :-)
