Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by bonesy on Nov 19, 2012 12:30:32 GMT 1,
And obviously if Happens Everyday is a release there is just about zero chance anyone in the public will even have an opportunity to purchase. Everyone is going to sit on their "purchase credit" waiting for one of 2 or 3 images. What if they oversell the next one? More peeps on the list? What if they oversell the 15th print? I think theyve caused a huge headache for themselves...... In the big picture they are just trying to make customers happy so big props, but I think throwing this bone is just going to make more issues.

Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by bonesy on Nov 19, 2012 11:27:03 GMT 1, Woke up to a nice email from the Patricks confirming again that the refunded customers will have first crack at the next print, and if you aren't feeling the next print you can roll it over until they release an image that you do like! Very interesting. Also they will cover postage to make up for the difference in the refund (9 euro in my case) which again is more then generous considering it's normally $40 to my location. These guys cannot do anything wrong in my opinion, time and time again they go out of their way to keep people happy when most others would just shrug it off.
Awesome deal for those that missed out.

Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by bonesy on Nov 16, 2012 0:57:06 GMT 1, โข Choose your weapon queue jumping grey โข Grey Nola Different circumstances. 1. There were no gangs with dogs and knives threatening your cup of tea and mouse at 5pm yesterday. 2. It was not the payment system which f**ked up but the pow website crashing when payment was being processed, so it did not go through properly. No one ever got refunded then moaned about it.
POW sold me a signed Grannies and a month later I was told that I missed out as they sold the same print number twice. I didn't bitch about it but probably should have as they ended up rewarding whiners from later editions.
I can appreciate the gesture of artists trying to make things like this up to their fans, but ultimately I think its a bad/ dangerous precedence. God forbid the next image is one of the kick ass ones everyone wants and there are only 50 up for grabs due to those that have dibs. They'll have a whole new unnecessary group of whiners. I say make a sincere apology and just issue the refund in a situation like this.

Prints for KAWS & PARRA figures..., by bonesy on Sept 26, 2012 13:48:53 GMT 1, Be careful with Kaws. There's a lot of fakes out there now ! Pusheads, Storm Troopers, Vaders (apparently), Snoopy (no glasses), Pinocchio (no Jiminy), and even Dissected Companions (jury's still out, but some are a bit odd looking!), older 1000% Bearbricks....
I didn't know this. With boxes & packing materials too?

Asha Zero at Pertwee Anderson and Gold, by bonesy on Sept 12, 2012 14:50:49 GMT 1,
I like his work as a whole but if it comes down to individual pieces I only dig maybe one in 5 or so. This show I am disappointed with. I think selling these shows in South Africa before brining them to London is a huge mistake from a marketing point of view. His last show was solid and supposed to be shown at Black Rat but the whole exhibit sold out in South Africa (presumably to online buyers) and good exposure was lost. I think its about his South Africa representation getting first crack at sales commission which isnt helping Asha out any.

New Banksy olympics!, by bonesy on Aug 15, 2012 11:52:34 GMT 1, Was probably said elsewhere but..... I gotta say now that the Olympics are over that Banksys output was very disappointing.... Gotta assume 5 years ago the man would have much better utilized the situation/ media attention in his backyard. Has me wondering how much work we'll see in the coming years. If not for the Olympics then when? He doesn't need the media attention. You say graffiti or street art to someone who is completely none the wiser about urban art and they say Banksy. Job done on his behalf.
I don't think Banksy used media attention in the past to necessarily promote himself, more to promote things he wanted to make a statement regarding. I would say there are more things relevant for him to comment on today than 5-7 years ago yet he is much more quiet. I didnt want to join the group but I am falling into the party that thinks Banksy has gotten older and with that are going to be seeing less and less of him on the streets.

ASHA ZERO for sale, by bonesy on May 29, 2012 17:00:45 GMT 1, Asha's work is amazing, even though he will rarely be mentioned on any forums- no editions means nothing to flip. I picked up a painting from an auction house a few years back and will have it forever. Good luck with the sale.

Steve Powers ๐บ๐ธ ESPO โข New York Street Art โข New Release, by bonesy on May 22, 2012 11:04:21 GMT 1, Interesting colorway and great price. Glad to see an artist doing it for the fans not the flippers.
Ive had the original POW release (cream) nicely framed on my wall for years. I prefer when an artist does not produce a new colorway years after the original 2 colorways are long sold out. If Banksy released a Girl with Pink Balloon I would feel the same way. They are linited edition prints and im not a fan of creating new colors, sizes, or printing techniques of something already sold out. I understand some newer fans that missed out on the origonal release may like the opportunity but the integrity of the whole thing changes to me when artists go back to revisit long sold out images. Im saying this because i collect limited edition prints, it has nothing to do with flipping.

Banksy Gorilla Print Release - POW, by bonesy on May 11, 2012 23:39:22 GMT 1, Retirement (i realize youre kidding)?

Who's the biggest KAWS fan here?, by bonesy on May 11, 2012 18:41:45 GMT 1, That pic looks much better than the pic on the previous page, you can differentiate the black 'bars' from the purple background. Still dont think I would want to look at it everyday though.....

Who's the biggest KAWS fan here?, by bonesy on May 11, 2012 10:37:56 GMT 1, Man, I want to be excited for a Kaws abstract print but this one just does nothing for me. Pass. I think of ultra brightness when i think of Kaws and this would be basically 2 'all black' prints in a row.

Original Fake KAWS Companion Cushion, by bonesy on Apr 24, 2012 13:10:12 GMT 1,
I dont think we will ever see an abstract print release. A big part of the effect in person is the size and brightness of the canvas's which couldnt be re-created with a framed piece of paper, no matter the quality of the printing job.
