NEW Banksy Print Release?, by spirit on Apr 13, 2010 16:13:45 GMT 1, The Parking one works well at that location but at home, on your lounge wall Im not sure
agree with that. This one is VERY reliant on it's location...
I'd like to see the popcorn rat - something about the colours and stencil style looks really 2010 to me...but I doubt it will ever be a print - it's too linked to the film. It was also exclusive to LA Weekly I think.

Appeal for Witnesses - April 8th - Redchurch St, by spirit on Apr 12, 2010 20:13:28 GMT 1, The whole point surely is to encourage people who were at the event, and who might have useful information to feel comfortable to come forward and contact the Police.
Yes, but I'm not quite sure what you're getting at as I don't see anything here that might make witnesses feel uncomfortable about doing that. What posts in this thread do you think might put people with useful info off from doing the right thing and why?

Well there's a lot of signed Banksy's I'd like for the "normal" price of ยฃ150-ยฃ500, I would even happily pay ยฃ200 more, but there's reality and there's dreaming...
The reality is the market price for these prints (the price they are actually selling for) is over ยฃ300.

New Invader Prints @ shopatlazarides.com, by spirit on Apr 11, 2010 10:22:23 GMT 1, Halftones are essentially an optical illusion. They are are method of of simulating a continuous tone image (eg a gradation from black to white which contains an infinite number of greys in between) using only a single colour. To get a very dark grey you would have big black dots spaced closely together, To get a very light grey you would have small black dots with lots of white space in between them. Got it ! so it kinda gives a 3d affect meaning the print looks like more of a photograph... and looks like the cubes have been twisted and sickers not uniform... so is Invader pushing boundries in printing with his last two releases ?
Well halftoning does give a 3d effect in so far as it is required to produce areas of light and shade in a photographic image printed using a single colour to give the illusion of depth.
It's certainly not pushing any boundaries though. The halftone technique was invented in the second half of the 19th century to answer a fundamental problem faced by the newspaper industry which was; how can we reproduce these new-fangled photographs on our printing presses?
To help explain the problem let me use the example of a pencil. A pencil is an incredibly versatile tool. By varying the pressure you use, you can create thick dark lines by pushing hard, or thin light lines by pressing lightly. You can also build up tone by using layers - ie going over a line you have already drawn a 2nd time will make it darker.
However, neither of these techniques are possible on a printing press, where the pressure is uniform across the sheet and you only want to pass that sheet through the press once - so how do you create different shades of grey (which are required to reproduce a photograph) using only black ink at a constant pressure?
To help answer the problem they looked back at how they reproduced drawings on the press - which was basically etchings (intaglio). One of the primary methods of creating different shades in an intaglio print (and before that woodcuts) was hatching (closely spaces parallel lines - the closer the spacing, the darker the tone) and cross-hatching (when lines are places at angles to one another in a criss-cross pattern.) Albrecht Dรผrer was a master of this technique.
Halftones work on the same general principle, except that they use dots instead of lines. without halftones it would not be possible to reproduce tonal photographs in print.

ROA SOLO at PURE EVIL, by spirit on Apr 9, 2010 23:03:32 GMT 1, I asked PE to send me some images of the drawings yesterday. He sent me 5 - sleeping and dead rat, 2 hanging carcass images and a dead baby bird. I think that's all there were as those 5 drawings are on the link stopki posted above and no others.
from that link it looks like the 2 rats are definitely sold but the other 3 may still be available.
I really like Roa's style and thought the show was excellent but I much prefer his alive animals to his dead ones - and 4 out of the 5 drawings were dead. I was very tempted by the sleeping rat though...
Here's the link again pureevilgallery.arloartists.com/portfolios/14531-roa
Prices were ยฃ250 for small drawings and ยฃ300 for big ones.

Mr. Brainwash โข Generations Print, by spirit on Apr 9, 2010 22:42:51 GMT 1, Some people use the old chestnut about not being allowed to express their opinions but thats just bull s**t! what they actually want is the right to abuse other people under the guise of free speech.
I don't think that's right personally. If someone posts something really good it gets praised (see that pixel video thread for example). If someone posts something rubbish it gets slated. Its all down to the quality of the work. There's quite a lot of slating on this forum but that's because there's quite a lot of rubbish.
I think most people think Mr Brainwash is a nice (crazy in good way) guy. But at the same time many of them also think his work is pants. They are not abusing the person, they are criticising the art.
My opinion is that while I like Mr Brainwash (from the little I know of him) I could never like his work because I believe the primary reason for it's creation is to part fools from their money.

Otto, if you buy prints purely to sell/trade them as soon as you get them you're going to get abuse and quite rightly so imo. Your behaviour deprives other forum members who wanted these prints of getting them on the wall. What you are doing is not OK. No-one can stop you doing it but don't expect to make many friends here if that's your game (except xmas perhaps, he sure needs a friend).
You're on your own.
(sorry jboy - looks like you were right after all)
