For Sale: Ripper - Crucipod Canvas, by Strange Al on Sept 24, 2012 18:12:41 GMT 1, I'm letting a few pieces from my collection go over the coming weeks, starting with this classic Ripper 1331 - Crucipod painting on deep edged canvas:
The background is a beautiful oxidised copper colour, which works brilliantly with this image and is particularly dramatic in lower lighting. The photograph really doesn't do the painting justice.
Size - circa 30cm h x 30cm w x 6cm d
From a varied edition of 3.
Absolutely no idea on value, so taking offers via PM.

Thanks for the comments guys. Wholly agree that this is a bit of a classic, from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Sad to see it go, but it's been on the wall for years now and it's time for a change.
I've had some interest, but it's currently still available. Will consider offers over ยฃ300 (+postage).

Will also entertain trades. I'm only really interested in Faile, Bast, Micallef (eyestorm prints) and Sickboy pieces. I may be able to add cash for the right piece.

For Sale: Ripper - Crucipod Canvas, by skitchy on Dec 18, 2012 21:54:34 GMT 1, Classic piece...but what ever happened to Ripper 1331? Could of had a promising career as an urban artist...people used to go nuts for his stuff! He did a few bits and pieces... then just nothing?!

For Sale: Ripper - Crucipod Canvas, by Strange Al on Jan 29, 2013 21:53:07 GMT 1, No idea what happened to Ripper. There were definitely a few artists producing interesting stencil pieces back in the early days of the Banksy revolution, before the scene was completely saturated by copyists, who then just disappeared from the radar.
I think it's fair to say that whoever buys this canvas is likely to do so making an emotional investment, rather than expecting to make lots of cash. Though that's nice and there's a lot to be said for this particular piece.
Whether you interpret the Crucipod as a comment on religion or on the deification of Apple or tech or ascribe it some completely different meaning, it seems as relevant today as when it was first released.
The canvas is still available by the way.
