Share the STIK love!, by tartarus on Jan 22, 2016 23:18:35 GMT 1, Bad judgement on their part id say. On first glance I thought they could be okay then I saw the following lot which is clearly some crappy mass produced Banksy piece which has a high estimate for what look's like something you can buy of a market stall. On another note have they now started to produce souvenir replica Stik pieces? Maybe they have been around for a while but this is the first one (or four in this case)I have seen. I think it will still be interesting to see what they fetch. dude in brick lane has been selling little pieces for a while already. the fakers swoop fast. stunning to see such pap in an auction house though. low end as they are.

Share the STIK love!, by tartarus on Jan 22, 2016 19:32:20 GMT 1, I think the value of my frame might've increased. I bought some card, some wood to make a frame, some glass and sticky tape and put them all together and I think I might've made a profit. Woohoo. One day i plan to get my head round properly framing my own stuff. At the moment theres too much crap going on and not enough room in here! until then if stuff roughly fits its good enough for me!

Share the STIK love!, by tartarus on Jan 22, 2016 18:58:35 GMT 1, So we can talk about how much they're worth framed or minty fresh too... I like your thinking. Bragging rights on who has the most expensive frame. can we have a cheapest frame prize too? all of mine are in charity shop frames! seems mean to discriminate.

Share the STIK love!, by tartarus on Jan 22, 2016 12:32:14 GMT 1, Personally I don't trust one auction result, there are plenty of people who would benefit financially from a strong auction result! Based on the fact these are now worth ยฃ8k who would pay ยฃ4K for one? โOne swallow does not a summer make" Aristotle. One auction result means nothing. Without knowing if it was a genuine sale, that the buyer paid or that a dealer had not put the item into auction, deliberatley bid up the price by using othe rpeople to put on record a magnificent selling price at auction. People who are fans know that Stik is young and he will continue to produce ltd editions. So if they didn't get one at source this time there will always be others available. "a few neigh sayers do not a fake market make" Tartarus

Share the STIK love!, by tartarus on Jan 22, 2016 1:27:21 GMT 1, Like Marmite innit? I love Marmite and Stik however I would never force anybody to eat Marmite that didn't like Marmite ....that would be stupid. If Marmite suddenly cost a million quid I'd still like Marmite I just wouldn't be able to have Marmite anymore. Lets face it nobody is holding a gun to the head of people that buy Stik prints and paintings however much they cost. As if Elton John and his crowd give a monkeys about the cost of Marmite. Pleeez .... can't we just be happy that not so long ago Stik was homeless and penniless and painted the streets while staying up all night. Despite this within 5ish years he has traveled all over the world, has had a best selling book published, has donated and generously helped out numerous charities and is still a thoroughly decent friendly bloke. His art sells well too. i can vouch for the fact that your missing out if you havnt tricked a hater into eating marmite!! its truly priceless. got a housemate at uni, in the morning no glasses on and she thought i had nutella on toast. good times lol.

Stik Sleeping Baby, by tartarus on Jan 16, 2016 11:13:56 GMT 1, My post count isn't as high as yours because I don't feel the need to comment for the sake of commenting. Also bringing up my nationality is extremely poor taste. But like I say, I hope you overcome your issues & hope you have a nice weekend. What the hell are you talking about? You think I was attacking your nationality huh. The UK comment was for 90% of the people in this thread that have said something because of my questioning about this specific artist period. Now it dawns on me that is where his market is at. As for my post count comment, it was to explain that I post plenty in the board with meaning. Not sure who posts just to post but a "looker" on this board is not a participater in my opinion.

Stik Sleeping Baby, by tartarus on Jan 16, 2016 2:18:26 GMT 1, That's not quite right. Davievegas' posts aren't all negative. And he should be free to speak his mind. That's freedom of speech. If you don't agree with him, say so and why. I'd much rather read his posts than see inane photographs with words written on them (are they called giffs or memes or something like that?). I just want to say how I truly appreciate the reminded logic that we all have freedom of speech. Thanks @coach. I am not going to respond because I am frequently posting on this board almost daily and by his post count, I do not think he/she is on here as much to see that. On a side note, I am allowed to have my own opinions as much as the next person. If I come off argumentative with certain responses, then I cant apologize for that. I am a passionate person. But thanks for the "Id much rather read his posts then photos of memes" coach. Appreciate it But Truthfully I am starting to feel that people who are from the UK on this board are the ones getting the angriest. Not sure why that is but I have 3 aquaintances/friends on this board that have been screwed over by the stik prices. Since they have brought this up in previous stik type threads, I felt obligated as well due to the pandemonium of his prices. I am pretty sure everyone has that right. Whereas you just have an axe to grind. which is blatantly obvious.

Why do people like Stik?, by tartarus on Jan 9, 2016 11:06:20 GMT 1, Cover speaks for itself. "He's the next Banksy" --- LOL No hype there. I'm sure M&C Saatchi had nothing to do with the cover of the issue they "collaborated" on. I'm sure the art arm and the advertising arm of Saatchi never "collaborate" either. Don't know why you brought this back up, it's clear you won this debate earlier in the week. Carry on, mate.
To show how poor the info you base your assumptions on is. But I see you still think it proved your point. But then you seem to think Stik designed or worded the cover too I guess.

Why do people like (or dislike) Ploppi's art so much?, by tartarus on Jan 6, 2016 20:06:48 GMT 1, And buying brand new iPhones OK boys and cowboys... in my country is 800.000 refugees from the Ukraine-hard work 1 to ยฃ 2 per hour ... and they do not take benefits (because we do not have benefits ... ) -a work in the construction industry and slaughterhouses for Tesco, etc. dear mate if you have problems with work it would be happy to help you ... we were taking the piss to be honest. I don't think it transferred. This is the bollox we have to listen to from the press etc over here.

Why do people like Stik?, by tartarus on Jan 5, 2016 18:55:13 GMT 1, Again, you just sound bitter. You find it impossible to see the good in others. And judging by the way you seem to think everything is based on some kind of manipulation rather than the wish to do good things, thats more a reflection on you than an artist helping others out. Some call it a social conscience. You seem to be attacking me as part of some sort of forum "clique" I wonder why? My opinion is my opinion, take it or leave it, I don't care. Most people have a social conscience and in todays society one cannot survive without being business minded too. How do you know what anyones agenda is or what they think without being a very close friend of theirs. Oh you poor little victim you! I havnt attacked you personally, just the rubbish you seem to use to try and reinforce what you say. Which really does come over as a blatant attack on someone who has done a lot of good things. Sorry i don't really see you as defendable.
Yes thats true. but you seem to think its all about business and there is nothing socially minded going on here. Your very wrong.
Thats a very good point. Maybe you should ask yourself that one rather than me.
