Heritage Auctions ๐บ๐ฒ, by bsimkin on Aug 28, 2020 13:09:15 GMT 1, What's up with the signature on the Bast Popeye? Not suggesting it isn't legit, but the lettering is different and appears to say "BASTO". And the bottom right says "08" instead of "NY". Anyone know the story behind that?
I always thought he did it as a nod to โSAMOโ butโs thatโs just me guessing. Heโs a cheeky fella

Kaws โข Holiday Space , by bsimkin on Aug 18, 2020 3:19:43 GMT 1, +1 Black
+1 Silver
Think i found a carting loophole. Carted black, went straight to payment. Once I was "in line" i added a silver, and what would you know, they were both waiting for me on the other side. Happy days.
Interesting I'll take whatever dumb luck I can over those bots. Really didn't think it would register. I always take an L on these things so the gods must have been with me on this one.

Kaws โข Holiday Space , by bsimkin on Aug 17, 2020 17:31:04 GMT 1, Totally did not register the date change. Was eagerly awaiting its appearance on website at the stated time. (9pm for me) shows up and Iโm refreshing a good 3 minutes before Iโm like, oh, the 17th. Thatโs tomorrow. Atleast I got some practice in. Since the gold and silver ones being hyped on insta so much today maybe the black one (my fav) will slip under the radar.

Mrs Banksy, by bsimkin on Jul 28, 2020 21:35:07 GMT 1,
A fool and their money is soon parted.
I'm not quite sure what this 'artist' is setting out to accomplish other than proving how easy it is to exploit someone else's creations for their own personal gain. Can't blame the people who support this, i guess, it's their money. but this is pretty gross all around. I remember when we had conspiracy theory chasers gobbling up releases by unknowns like Outis on the very oft chance that it was Banksy's pseudonym. this is just next level lining some conartists pockets. Good work, everyone.

Mr Doodle ๐ฌ๐ง Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by bsimkin on Jul 24, 2020 17:22:24 GMT 1, After being social media MIA, his first post in 21 weeks was an advert for a handbag. That's it. People were genuinely concerned (either for their investment or his welfare), and he just reappears with an advert. No - sorry for worrying folk, I'm fine, no - I've been super busy making stuff, no - Wow, super crazy times, eh? Anyway, wash those hands before and after doodling. I'm a little disappointed. It feels a bit cold when people that love and support you/your work, aren't worth more than just a basic handbag advert. will be a contractual obligation with the brand. you would do the same if you are being paid a mint. also remember we have just been in lockdown or is that forgotten. Nothing much interesting happening so not worth posting. No point in posting the print as he sold 300 of them before he could open his emails
Surely being in a lockdown would give Mr Doodle, idk, ample time to you know, doodle.....

Takashi Murakami x Black Lives Matter , by bsimkin on Jul 23, 2020 12:47:40 GMT 1, I used Robo's code since he posted before me. My code is Mmmike2M8J if someone wants to continue the trend.
All good bro, good luck.
Which one you going for? Iโd imagine the flower only prints will get the most entries so I opted for the flower/skull circle version. Probably being naive on the entries split but hopefully some of us get lucky on here.
If my code hasnโt been used by anyone else yet, here it is again

Takashi Murakami x Black Lives Matter , by bsimkin on Jul 22, 2020 23:41:21 GMT 1, I haven't signed up yet. I'm a bit concerned that outside of the US we won't get anything except a lot of spam. I would suggest providing fake birthdate info as that is one bit of handy info for identity theft. I tried to text them to ask to confirm if folks outside the US can win. That's what their insta says to do. I got back an automated link to sign up for text alerts. Sounds like they won't reply unless you sign up for spam. I would really like a print though so still might sign up. If I do happy to use someone's referral code. I'd also like someone to use mine. Let me suggest we start a list where folks cross out the code from here that they used and then put theirs. That way everyone who gives also gets (for the most part).
Well Mike, if you would so kindly use my code I would be eternally grateful: good luck Just enter this CinnamIV2O or click my referral link:

I hear if you plant it in the ground, a brand new Pejac print sprouts within 2-3 months.

Picked up the spirograph print earlier this year. Nice but good luck with the framing ;-) Oh I got that bad boy framed up. Framer had to build the circular frame in-house as they didn't have any stock that went up to 38" diameter. Will throw a pic up when I get a chance.

Beyond the streets - New York 2019, by bsimkin on Jun 20, 2019 20:35:07 GMT 1, How is BASTโs only contribution the puppet collab with Paul Insect? Bast along with Faile played a major role in the resurrection of street art in NYC. It seems they were completely absent during the California show. Was this artist or curator decision? Agreed. Feel a lot of decisions were made based on Gastman's personal relationships, rather than what's best representative of the location (NYC). While i normally loathe RETNA, his point about the absence of Lister is poignant, too.

Sotheby's Art Auctions โข NEW YORK ๐บ๐ฒ, by bsimkin on May 14, 2019 19:31:48 GMT 1,
Lol a bit dramatic no? Itโs just art, kaws owes you and us nothing Its a bit of a kick in the teeth for anyone that was supporting him from the start, no he owes me noting. If you've been supporting him from the start, you probably have a pretty killer collection. So kudos to you.
I guess what you're grappling with is kind of like a musician becoming a global star and no longer being able to see them in the 100 person club. right?
I think the rate at which he is cranking stuff out, to me, is off-putting. Just look at all those hypebeasts posers on the FB group who are obsessed with market value, yet pretend to have a deep vested interest in the art itself. All-in-all, I still think the recognition Kaws has earned is well deserved and something we should all be happy about as it further legitimizes a scene that was long viewed as vandalism, sophomoric and trash by the art elites.

Sotheby's Art Auctions โข NEW YORK ๐บ๐ฒ, by bsimkin on May 14, 2019 18:43:38 GMT 1, i'll go out on a limb here. i like Kaws, i own some Kaws i think Kaws is great... but his piece in this auction looks embarrassing by comparison to the other art presented. I realize 30 years ago someone might have said that about the Warhol soup can. it is what it is. The kaws art is fine - what is embarrassing is the bun fight for his work that has this at a reserve of up to $2,000,000 .. the top end of this scene is lost in a sea of wealth The scraps are left for the rest of us. The so called wealthy jump in when he's famous and sweep up all the best while the real collectors are left with the "scraps"ย ........ (as seen by the MOCAD and Brooklyn release)ย
