Cleon Peterson vase and black statue , by kapusta on Apr 5, 2024 2:31:33 GMT 1, Seeing this makes me feel sorry for those who bought on release. Ouch. I'm one of those suckers who bought one at release. Also, I just bought another right now with the massive discount because I'm still a sucker. Why do I need two? I don't. What am I doing? I don't know...

Kai & Sunny 🇬🇧 New Print Release • Exhibition News, by kapusta on Dec 6, 2023 16:23:47 GMT 1, Lovely collab print, best they have done i think I like the colors and the composition...but those tears are just strange
The tears kill it for me. Dface does this all the time - the image is 95% perfect and then he ruins it with 1 or 2 odd artistic choices

'THE WONKY VASE' BY PARRA, by kapusta on Sept 7, 2023 16:00:57 GMT 1, Yeah, shipping cost is nuts but gosh darn it, I'm a sucker for Parra 😩
At least the vase itself is decently priced. Gotta love Parra for releasing quality collectibles for affordable prices, unlike some other artists...

Paul Insect - Super Glow SWAP SHOP - CLOSED, by kapusta on Sept 2, 2023 5:36:04 GMT 1, Can't believe I almost missed out on this opportunity! Sliding in with fingers crossed!
To Mr. Insect: You and I seem to have something in common – we're both stylish mask/hat guys. If you'd like to mostly maintain anonymity while spicing up your wardrobe, I'd love to offer you a one-of-a-kind, handmade angler fish mask I crafted about 10 years ago for a hat party. I had a vision for the hat/mask to resemble Venom from Spider-man. I spent far too long meticulously cutting and gluing material together, but I'm proud to say I showed up with the only handmade hat at the event. I'm quite fond of this hat, but I LOVE your art, so I wouldn't mind swapping goods with you. I think you'd really rock it nicely!

Stockx , by kapusta on Jul 12, 2023 4:43:49 GMT 1, I've sold a lot of sneakers on StockX just fine, only 1 failed authentication for manufacturer defects. But nothing over $1k. I'd never use them for art or anything crazy expensive. Sorry to hear about your situation.

KAWS - Time Off, by kapusta on Feb 13, 2023 19:28:28 GMT 1, To quote myself from another KAWS thread from 2020:
"He'll just release new [figures] sitting, kneeling, crying, shitting, holding a small companion, blowing another chum, birthing a baby chum, etc. The possibilities are infinite and people will gobble them up."
Fast forward to 2023: I was right. Sad state of KAWS right now – lacking originality. Although time will tell if people will keep gobbling this crap.

Sandra Chevrier Graffiti Print new release, by kapusta on Jan 31, 2023 6:16:22 GMT 1, not arguing.... but in the LE art world a minute diff on a sellout is major indicator of the demand and hence why i would even both correcting him. sandra's works historically would sell out in a matter of seconds and not even get to 1 minute past the hour (let alone 2 min past). i think the price point and image hurt this release and why demand was significantly down. certainly kept me on the sidelines and i know others. Just look at her originals to see where the market is going ... 2 years ago, originals would sell in the pre-sale. Now, her Miami originals -- from both galleries which showed her work -- are sitting unsold on Artsy. That's what happens when you don't evolve. I trust her prints will follow unless there is a quick shift from money grab to trying to evolve (and as I mentioned before, not a change in background color or angle lol). Devil's advocate: 2 years ago, people had disposable incomes. Different economy, different art market. People are liquidating collections and saving money right now. Art is struggling across the board

Suanjaya Kencut 🇲🇨 Print Release • Indonesia • For Sale, by kapusta on Sept 23, 2022 1:07:01 GMT 1, What do we make of the price? I just discovered this artist and honestly the price feels absurd. Are their originals commanding crazy prices? Have emerging artists forgotten that these are freaking PRINTS?! What ever happened to building a base of collectors and upping prices gradually with your market. I like the artist, I like the print, I hate the price.

Ben Eine + Lucie Flynn, by kapusta on Jun 15, 2022 19:39:56 GMT 1, IMO, this is the best stuff coming from Eine in a long time. I know it's a collab, but I think he's onto something by abstracting his text and playing with color & texture more. Would love some prints in this style for sure

Doesn't matter I guess, it'll sell out. Easy pass for me.

Murakami NFT - an Invader derivate?, by kapusta on Jan 18, 2022 17:54:15 GMT 1, I have yet to purchase any NFTs but, IMO, Tristan Eaton's GEMMA project is a perfect example of how traditional artists can and should transition into the NFT space. The project was ambitious, affordable, and you can burn your token in favor of a 1/1 giclee print copy. I love everything about it.
Murakami releasing pixel NFTs isn't ambitious at all, every wannabe artist and their mother is releasing pixel art NFTs because it's easy. But will it be affordable? Let's wait and see.

Beautiful piece, can't go wrong with Hush. Some of the best print quality I've seen. Hope everyone got what they wanted.
