New Faile Prints 15th August, by bsimkin on Aug 15, 2012 17:17:18 GMT 1, 1750! ouch! have to pass and wait for my first Faile
Same here. Think the pricing on this one might be a 'faile' in itself. Oh well, good on them for what they're doing in the studio. Love the image. Wish I had the dough. Please, Faile, release a fan friendly priced print in addition. you can do it!

Jackthreads stealing and selling fake Banksy works, by bsimkin on Jul 27, 2012 16:51:22 GMT 1, Proper Legal chanels! haha who gives a s**t, its graffiti, the more your images get seen the better.
Furthermore, Jackthreads is saying these are Banksy sanctioned canvas prints.
To quote the sale page: 'Renowned street artist BANKSY has taken his most (in)famous street art from the stone walls and billboards of London and onto canvas to dress your barren walls.'
The funnier part being that two of the images offered are not by him. The Girl and Boy by Fake (Fake Love) and Eelus 'I am your father.'
Facepalm

ROA does 2012 Lollapalooza Poster, by bsimkin on Jul 24, 2012 20:21:18 GMT 1, equally disappointed.... while somewhat representive of his art, I wouldn't have picked it out as a ROA piece without prompting... It's unfortunately an easy pass for me...
Agree with you all on the let down. ROA did some street work here last year (through local street art gallery, Pawn Works, i believe). Wonder if that had an influence? I concur, this isn't really indicative of his true style. Cool for a concert poster and for Chicagoans. The signed price tag was disappointing as well.

ROA does 2012 Lollapalooza Poster, by bsimkin on Jul 24, 2012 18:39:57 GMT 1, Just got an email from Lolla Chicago. Looks like ROA is their marquee poster maker this year. There's three dif editions. One unnumbered ($30), one numbered ($65, ed. 500) and one signed and numbered ($275, ed. 100)
You can even pre order them here store.lollapalooza.com/products/2012-lolla-poster-signed-numbered-edition#
The veins are representative of Chicago's subway system (EL)

Dreweatts Urban Editions Summer Sale, by bsimkin on Jun 22, 2012 23:57:07 GMT 1, The auction results make for interesting reading. Even with the incentive of a reduced buyers premium a significant proportion of Lots unsold. Unsigned Banksy prints going for less than I would have expected. Possibly not marketed as well as other auctions?
lolz to all the unsold MBWs

POW Jubliee Special, by bsimkin on May 29, 2012 19:44:43 GMT 1, I noticed another American forum member had issues with Mastercard as well.
If POW is such a reputable print house (purchased from them in the past with no problems), then why are they using such a crap payment system (Sage Pay). What is so 'sage' about not fulfilling accepted payment methods even with CCV code provided!
I've emaild POW about this twice today, no response. Get it together fellas. Never had an issue with Laz (Outsiders) or any other print house for that matter until today. Happy Jubilee fellas. And congrats to the people who scored with no issue.

POW Jubliee Special, by bsimkin on May 29, 2012 17:23:32 GMT 1,
Same has happened to me in the past.Sulked for a couple of hours and clicked the back button and print was still in my basket.It might be worth emailing pow with the ref. number and see if it's still available[/quote]
Thanks for the advice. I emailed both sales and Dora. Forgot the ref # and unfortunately the sage pay page wouldn't let me back in. Went to check basket and it's gone. Oh well. I wasn't expecting a Bast release and was actually hoping he'd be doing one on his site soon anyway. Maybe this is for the best. lol. Banks don't want me to spend my money I guess. Even with the damn 'security code.' Thought those were the fail safes.

POW Jubliee Special, by bsimkin on May 29, 2012 17:16:59 GMT 1, Well, thanks to my bank I got screwed out of the Bast print. Finishing payment process and got a 'your bank is not authorizing approval' or some garbage. Called bank, they said they had two authorizations going through, by the time things were getting fixed, print is out of my basket. God bless America, right?

BAST - Pyramid Club, by bsimkin on May 3, 2012 19:07:43 GMT 1,
Yep. I carted it for a second for debate. Just can't do it. May be because I have a carnegie yellow and want to mix it up color-wise. Good price though!
Anyone think Bast will do a drop on his site again soon?

Signed CND on eBay รโรยฃ4.5k, by bsimkin on Apr 25, 2012 17:42:11 GMT 1, Banksy signatures are often in different places on the same set of prints. not sure if that applies to this one though... others will know better than me.
Mine from this edition is in the same spot. Under the left CND's foot. I know he signed on the right side as well for this print. Oh, and just to clarify, I bought CND Soldiers from POW on the day it was released in 05.

OBEY X MTN SPRAY CANS & MISFITS, by bsimkin on Apr 17, 2012 19:20:21 GMT 1, These signed cans are part of the run of 500. They are not an extra edition of 500. Got lucky and snagged the Black and Cream (friend at work helped) ones. My buddy helping me get the Red timed out in the paypal process. Oh well. Can't wait to have them on display ;D ;D ;D So if they were not a separate 500, how many total actually got signed from each colorway?

Visit LONDON ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Street Art, Galleries, Events, by bsimkin on Mar 23, 2012 4:56:54 GMT 1, I finally managed to snap this Gaia without a car in front for a change. Awesome! Nice shot!
Great shot indeed. Been seeing a lot of his stuff popping up. He's doing this project down in atlanta and also Open Walls in Baltimore which is drawing a lot of great street artists. Maya Hayuk in particular.. Big fan of Gaia. Had the opportunity to meet him at a show last year. Cool dude. Looked like he was maybe 21. Incredible talent. Thanks for sharing this shot!

Signed Banksy for free - name in the 'hat', by bsimkin on Mar 16, 2012 16:57:04 GMT 1, I don't think alot of people are getting this thread. In true Freerange style, it is a joke. He is poking fun at all of the people lining up for freebies. ;D I guess he made his point by people actually signing in "TO WIN"
The best part is he put an * after the first sentence with the payoff at the bottom "highly unlikely, but its good to seem like your 'giving something back"
Guess a lot of people were willing to participate regardless. I'll take spot 1002 please.
;D

For Sale- Sage Vaughn: Love Bites, by bsimkin on Mar 13, 2012 16:07:22 GMT 1, Hi everyone. Thanks for the positve comments regarding my print. This will be my first and probably last post on the forum. Firstly I would like to clarify that my name is Brian and that Rowan was kind enough to do me the favour of putting my print up for sale for me as I was not a meber of the forum. Secondly I do not consider myself either pathetic or cowardly. I have been collecting art for a couple of years now on very limited budget and am proud of my collection (9 on the wall and 8 in the portfolio). I have only ever sold one print at cost (didn't like it in the flesh!) The reason for this sale is that I have my eye on a couple of new releases due out soon and I just cannot afford to buy them without selling something. I'm sorry if this is seen as an action that deserves the kind of comments posted by Bsimkin but I'm afraid I have no other way of continuing to follow the pursuit that I love. Call me a flipper if you like but I really don't care. By the way bsimkin my 'mom' sends her regards. Please note that as of now the print is withdrawn from sale.....I don't need the hassle. All the best to everyone on the forum. Thanks andgoodbye! Brian
Hey Brian,
Always pictured you as a mommas boy. To restate, I recanted my entire post regarding the sale of your print. What does that mean? Well, Brian, it means that I misunderstood the print being offered and that I'm withdrawing my issue with the sale. You can see that a post or two after. What else would you like me to do? Give your mom a hug too? Good luck and good blessings.
If you're going to get so chided by a post that was followed with an apology, then you have more problems than just trying to raise money for your next print score. And my mom says your skin is thin.
Peace. Love. Nice print.
