Appeal for Witnesses - April 8th - Redchurch St, by spirit on Apr 9, 2010 18:57:02 GMT 1, Really very sorry to hear this ginx - no-one deserves to get injured like that for going to a gallery opening....
I imagine it's in the Gallery's interest to do all they can to get these guys prosecuted - as the mosque isn't going anywhere I can't see this as a problem that is going to go away - and people aren't going to come to shows if they think there's a fair chance they'll get hurt.
Seeing as this was done in the mosque's name I'd go and see the Imam, explain what happened and why and make it clear that you expect their help and co-operation to bring the offenders to justice.

Grafter Eskimo Print , by spirit on Apr 9, 2010 18:08:10 GMT 1, Your post has reminded me to get mine framed - it is a great image - grafters best by far imo - thought it was one of the stand out pieces at Cans.

WTB Mozart Bust/Beejoir LV child sculpture, by spirit on Apr 9, 2010 17:41:08 GMT 1, Your wife's got no taste Spirit. I can't believe how many requests I still get for Beathovens I should have done a bigger edition;)
Oh no she has very good taste - just different - she works at Christies don't you know...
I'd tell you what she said about them but I'd probably get banned.

WTB NBG Green or Grey for £2,000 - NOW PUCHASED!, by spirit on Apr 9, 2010 16:50:29 GMT 1, i was talking with dora the other day about the arguments on the forum and she told me that on one of the other forums there is a fighters corner on them where people who want to argue can do so in private without pushing other peoples more genuine threads down the listings... a very good idea i think
On the one hand that's a good idea...
On the other, where's the fun in humiliating your opponent if you can't do it in public?

King ROBBO 🇬🇧 Banksy v King Robbo • Street Art, by spirit on Apr 9, 2010 13:14:05 GMT 1, I think the reason the "boy" is left out is because you're meant to replace "boy" with "toy" (a derogatory graffiti term meaning an inexperienced or unskilled writer) I think you're reading too far into it.. If he meant to call him a toy he probably would.
i don't. why do you think he left boy out then?

From the LA Weekly interview. Great quote and thought it was quite relevant in this context.

Handiedan 🇳🇱 Mixed Media Collage • New Print Release , by spirit on Apr 9, 2010 10:39:17 GMT 1, Art Asylum Boston lied to me about sending me a FREE print. I spent over 1700 dollars with them The worst service I ever received from any gallery. It took weeks to get the things I bought. The story goes as follows...I had called JASON in advance before the show and he promised to put a Handiedan print aside for me . He never sent me a bill. Weeks passed and I called him asking where my print was. He said I never paid for it. I told him I never got a bill. I had already bought 1700 dollars of art from him and couldn't understand why he didn't send me another bill if he hadn't gotten paid. I told him if I didn't pay the 1700 dollars wouldn't you have sent me another bill ?? He gave me some lame excuse than promised me he would send me one for free and include a book by Roger T. I told him that was very kind of him and he didnt have to do it.That was three weeks ago and nothing ever arrived in the mail . here is his lame excuse reply: its not that i do not shoot straight, I did not get paid for the print and my story did not change i was under the impression that when we sent out our last set of packages that I we included a print for you, if it did not arrive yet thats one thing, O told you I would double check! we have had major flooding here causing many delay's ..if for any reason one did not go out to you I stated that i would overlook the transactions to see if I had one available to send because i stand by my word. someone who doe snot shoot straight would be if I had charged you for it and you did not receive what you paid for, i was more than happy to give you a discount and accommodate your need's I.E contact Collin etc... but if you are going to get bent out of shape over a FREE piece than I cannot stop you from being frustrated.. however getting upset over something like this is a bit unfair... never the less should it show up a bit late like that last package despite my efforts to send it out in a timely manner than so be it. I SAY TO MYSELF AGAIN IF IT WAS THE 1700 THAT I DIDN'T PAY WOULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN THE PRUDENT THING TO SEND ME ANOTHER BILL ?? HE PROBABLY OVER SOLD THE PRINT THAN TRIED TO COVER HIS BUTT. IN ANY CASE I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS GUY AGAIN. IT WAS A BAD EXPERIENCE!!
This is all a bit odd and I don't really see anything in what you've said that deserves a public 'outing' for this gallery. Not quite sure why you would be expecting a print to turn up that you know you've not paid for. If I thought a gallery had put aside a print for me and they never sent me a bill, I would have contacted them to check that had been done and ask where the bill was. Sounds like you were hoping they had forgotten to bill you but were still expecting the print....
His reply after you complained to him also sounds pretty reasonable to me and I imagine if I were in his position I would have responded to you in a similar fashion. Sounds like you had started to lose it and make accusations against him but his response remained polite and professional - and there really isn't much he can do about you spitting your dummy out.

WTB Very Little Helps - NOW PUCHASED!, by spirit on Apr 8, 2010 20:30:59 GMT 1, this thread is so full of s**t. I have absolutely no doubt at all that neither of these "deals" exist. Like anyone is ever going to offer you one for £600 less than what you have already stated you are willing to pay and have a deal at. I put my money on this being an unusually roundabout way of talking down prices - seeing as that's all you ever do and seems to be your sole purpose for visiting this board. How can this thread be talking down prices? What you and allot of people on here to realise is - just because you wont sell for £this amount doesn't mean the next person wont.
Like I said - an "unusually roundabout" way of talking down prices. You started at 2750 and now your down to £1900 - at the same time as other people are offering more on the forum - that's what I mean by you talking down prices.
What you need to realise is that we can read you like a book - a Peter & Jane book.
How come your alleged £1900 seller didn't sell to dmf yesterday for £2300? How come he didn't sell to the other guy on the forum offering £2000 right now? How come he offered to undercut your £2500 deal by a massive £600 rather than say £50/100?
None of it makes any sense at all - because none of it is true.

I love prints floated like that so they really do float in the middle of the box.
Edit: Is that Love wall F&B Cooking Apple Green? looks same as our bedroom - gorgeous colour.

But better not miss the process There are also business gifts companies which make glass inclusion per unit but no idea about the cost. Check this one in France for example : gravure2d3d.com/inclusion-plexi/

They're set in resin, not perspex actually - and they look the business - but £3K + VAT!
Anyone know about setting things in resin? I quite like to try this with one of my unsigned ones.

I just don't understand people displaying these in their packaging...seems crazy to me - the only logic seems to be that you know you are going to sell them and they will be worth more on the secondary unopened. I just buy the unsigned, open it and keep the packaging for prov purposes - that way I actually get to enjoy them...
