Paul Insect โข Crystal Habits, by kapusta on Jan 14, 2019 19:31:34 GMT 1, I like the face and contrasting blue glitter of Crystal Habits Blue over Ultimate Journey, although UJ blue is a close second. And overall, I think I prefer the more abstract background on this with the winner being the gold background on the variant.
Both are stunners, can't go wrong with either, and would pair beautifully.

Graffiti Prints archive vaults open today, by kapusta on Dec 26, 2018 16:41:49 GMT 1, Lotteries are fine once in a while, but if every high demand drop becomes a game of pure chance, I'll stop buying from that source & stop paying attention altogether. I've been collecting since 2011 and, as silly as it sounds, you learn how to play the game through trial & error. And I'm talking without bots... I don't dabble in that nonsense.
I expect to have a slightly leg up over the average person trying to score the same drop. I know I won't always win, but I'd like to think my experience offers me an advantage.
But really, there's no way to satisfy everyone. Random drops mean more people are leveraging page monitors + bots. Standard drops feed only the obsessive collectors like me. And lottos are just... too random (says the guy that NEVER wins lottos).

Parra An Apple On The Edge Sculpture , by kapusta on Dec 13, 2018 16:38:20 GMT 1, And now I have to find a way to display it out of reach of a 16 month old wrecker
I guarantee that at least 1/10 of the edition will go POOF for reasons like this. Just give it 5-10 years.

Parra An Apple On The Edge Sculpture , by kapusta on Dec 13, 2018 16:17:43 GMT 1, Got lucky on the drop and scored one; I carted and purchased before the image loaded.
I reached out to Case Studyo back in September when this piece was teased in their stories and emailed them again yesterday and they refused to pre-sell to me, but provided details. I wonder how one gets on this secret, super-special collector's list...
Anyway, here are a couple photos from their September stories for whoever missed them:

PichiAvo ๐ช๐ฆ Street Art โข New Print Release , by kapusta on Nov 29, 2018 19:42:57 GMT 1, It's priced at $750 which is quite a jump, but it looks fantastic and is half the edition size of the last one. Couldn't resist pre-ordering since I missed out on "Birth of a New Myth."
There's also a Whatson collab screen print available too for $1600 but I wasn't feeling it, especially at that price point.

Blek Le Rat - Rope Pulling (Pink), by kapusta on Oct 4, 2018 16:01:33 GMT 1, I hate everything about that image and I'm rarely compelled to tear part an artist's work. Instead of altering whatever stock photo he referenced to make this image even remotely "believable," he just plopped the rat on a cloud and said "Done!" Lazy. Meaningless. Awkward (not playful). And to top it off โ overpriced ![(puke)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sick.png)

Tabby ๐ฆ๐น Street Art โข New Print Release , by kapusta on Sept 21, 2018 15:29:02 GMT 1, Nothing yet. Emailed them 2 weeks ago and got this response:
"As stated in the items description, these are a preorder and are set to ship in 7-9 weeks from sale date. The Tabby sculptures are casted up and in the final painting refining stages now. We should be starting to ship the end of next week."
Going by what they "stated", looks like they didn't meet their date. An update would be nice...
