Banksy - "Last Graffiti Before Motorway", by bonesy on Mar 1, 2009 2:51:52 GMT 1,
To exagerate the littleness of the little-tike, before he hits the motorway (bigtime) my take anyway.

Occurred to me too, but there's no mistaking that face detail as a Banksy.

I see him that way too. He was doing his own thing on the street 10 years ago and has intelligently evolved and grown up in his own direction. I was at his last show. The more I see his new direction the more I like it, his work reels you in like that. There's not much out there that I would take before a bus shelter painting.

Paypal Hell, by bonesy on Feb 22, 2009 2:10:42 GMT 1, Sorry to hear about you hassles.. this is more common than you think, my brother deals in rare vinyl, and someone tries this scam about once a week, he will now only ship recorded delivery for this reason I'm planning on always getting a signed receipt from now on...I've had a couple hundred transactions on ebay over the years and never has this happened before. I guess I should consider myself fortunate.
I always opt for the signature on ebay sales nowdays. But again I'll warn about international USPS. You can purchase the signed return recipt card which is supposed to be mailed back to you but out of maybe 50 that Ive purchased for overseas transactions Ive only gotten 20 or so back, and just because you purchase the return receipt paypal dosent consider these in their seller protection plan as USPS wnt guarantee the signature and its not viewable online. Bottomline is when it leaves USPS's hands they have no control over what the other couriers follows through with (and who knows if the other couriers can even read the English on the return receipt). If the USPS to Royal Mail guarantees could be upgraded alot of "our" problems would be solved but I guess they dont want to guarantee what Royal Mail is responsible for.
Good to hear your case ooks like its gonna work out for you. Ive learned to be veery careful, especially on international transactions.

Paypal Hell, by bonesy on Feb 21, 2009 18:59:44 GMT 1, Your covered under Paypal protection with Fed Ex because the signature is guaranteed, but Fed Ex wont insure art. So if the package is lost all together, or damaged, you have to take it up with Fed Ex who dosent insure art so youre out of luck. Again, my understanding.

Paypal Hell, by bonesy on Feb 21, 2009 18:37:53 GMT 1, Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Paypal requires signature confirmation for items over $210 and Im guessing 2 prints would e valued higher than that. Insurance signatures arent viewable online so they dont count in paypals eyes. This is how I interpret their protection rules anyway.
This rule really sucks when shipping internationally because USPS wont guarantee internatioal signatures (even to the UK but yet I have to sign for Royal mail coming here) so technically you have to ship with UPS which is like $100+ for international tubes.

Banksy โข Festival, Destroy Capitalism, by bonesy on Feb 21, 2009 13:36:01 GMT 1, In all honesty it would be more difficult to put together a set that isnt matching numbers than to purchase a set of matching numbers, since they were sold in sets of matching numbers.
So the rarity factor isnt taken into consiideration in the initial value estimate of the prints? I think it obviuosly is.

'Signed Banksy' record sleeve?, by bonesy on Feb 15, 2009 16:20:53 GMT 1, This guy has some great luck. First he had banksy sign the sticker in person at Cans Festival and then he happens to run into the only known signed record on the shelf at a record store. The buyers are at fault just as much as the buyer sux.

Grafter Splash - New Triptych available tomorrow, by bonesy on Feb 13, 2009 14:57:25 GMT 1,
The total editions sizes dont matter, the values dont matter, the retailprices dont matter, the intent behind the realease dosent matter (even to satisfy demand). Once a limited edition release is sodl out that should be the end of it. Giving in to public demand and producing a new even varied edition of an image should never be an option IMO. I also disagree with most and dont think extras to replace shipping damages should be produced, the integrity of the limited edition run should be the first priority of an artist.

Grafter Splash - New Triptych available tomorrow, by bonesy on Feb 13, 2009 0:34:21 GMT 1, Grafter is a great guy and I think he is truly doing it to make folks happy (he just paid alot of free shipping goodies to expressobeans folks out of generosity) but I am personally always against when an artist makes another edition to satisfy public demand. Everyone loves and wants the image, thats wonderful and the ideal objective. But it is also sold as a limited edition numbered item and producing new variations of the item takes away from the limited edition aspect (and the integrity of the image IMO). I also think it is priced too high and ultimately wont sell well. Im sorry but I respectfully dont agree with your decision here Mr. Grafter.
Edit: I do own the first edition on paper but its not going anywhere so the value isnt a huge concern to me (believe it or dont believe it)).

The legit edition of 50 (of the Superstition from Gargosian, anyway) have a hologram butterfly stamp on the back.

Banksy โข Flower Thrower โข Love is in the Air, by bonesy on Feb 8, 2009 22:14:03 GMT 1, Signed one at auction: condition report under glass, no visible damage
I personally wouldnt touch it. The vast majority of prints are not framed with mylar strips or corners and I dont even want a framed print with archival linen tape. If it was unframed and the condition was known it would sell much better, IMO.

Banksy โข Festival, Destroy Capitalism, by bonesy on Feb 7, 2009 3:52:51 GMT 1, Bottom line, unreleased prints or not, I would rather have a GWB or a variety of other classic Banksy prints for a very affordable price right now(my .02). Sale Ends sold out last I think (maybe 2nd to last) and Festival was def third to last (Morons rounded out the bottom 3 in LA) its the imagery that speaks for me, not the rarity.

WTB: Shepard Fairey "Arab Woman" on metal or wood, by bonesy on Feb 5, 2009 1:33:48 GMT 1, I checked out Shepard's retrospective at the ICA in Boston today. The Arab Woman canvas was the most beautiful piece there, hands-down. I dont know the dimensions off-hand but its huge, like 15' x 10' (or 12' x 8') I would guess. Photo courtesy of Arrested Motion.

Can I borrow ยฃ250?, by bonesy on Feb 3, 2009 14:53:03 GMT 1, i want one of these, missed out on the ones that were on the poster site a week ago for under 100 pounds H
I dont think these were from the original POW run. These new ones came in 2 different sizes, makes me suspect. Anyone have both to compare paper stocks? Guess it really dosent matter when it comes down to it.
