jose parla pirate alphabet #3, by bonesy on Oct 6, 2008 22:24:28 GMT 1, Props Rico, youre .99 risk paid off. I had a zero feedback buyer from Hong Kong purchase a $7900 Murakami item off me and it all worked out. I understand being suspicious of zero feedback buyers but I also understand that some high end buyers dont have the time to rummage through ebay on a daily basis and thus have little, if any, feedback.

Old Shep Fairey Prints (OBEY) 97, 01, etc, by bonesy on Sept 6, 2008 5:49:10 GMT 1, isn't that going to really hurt the actual value of his work over the years? yes? no? thoughts?
Shepard has no concern about flooding the market and after sale values of his prints. He produces an amazing amount of work and keeps his prices low so "anyone" can afford them. As his popularity has grown the "values" of his hard to get museum/ exhibit work has grown too.

Banksy Complete LA Edition Rare Set of 6 , by bonesy on Aug 5, 2008 10:18:40 GMT 1, ebay ebay ebay ebay ebay ebay ebay ebay but realistically, Applause ยฃ850? Festival/Destroy Capitalism ยฃ900 Grannies ยฃ850 Trolley Hunters ยฃ700 Morons ยฃ700 Sale Ends Today ยฃ900 = 4900. ish so how do you get from that to 12.5k just by having matching numbers, i dont get the logic. please explain more..
I dont think theyre worth near 12.5 but the LA versions will obviously fetch more than the "regular". Sale Ends or Festival is only worth ยฃ50 more than Grannies? Ya really think?

Finally the first GOOD Obey print of 08, by bonesy on Jul 18, 2008 23:18:22 GMT 1, What "big" artsits today do you think pull there own screens? This is all very disappointing to hear. To answer your question, just off the top of my head: Robert Rauschenberg. Chuck Close, Ed Rushca, Ellsworth Kelly, Faile, Frank Kozik, Jay Ryan I know what you are going to say next..."Well Shepard Fairey is way bigger than any of those blokes".
I dont know the details on all those artists but Kozik has most of his stuff done by Andy at Diesel Fuel Prints, last I heard. The point here is that you can get hand done work by Shepard, its just not the $35 stuff. With street artists charging what they are these days its incredible someone is complaining about a $35 signed and numbered print, from one of the legends that has been doing this for 15 years, taboot..

Finally the first GOOD Obey print of 08, by bonesy on Jul 18, 2008 13:58:08 GMT 1, I think I like the Marilyn Warhol better without the HPM background. Its such abgreat image and its supposed to "pop", I think the collage takes away from that.

They parted ways a long time ago. Shepard stopped pulling his own screensprints part way through 2000, I believe it is.

Shepard Fairey - Artist Proofs, by bonesy on Jul 18, 2008 0:01:29 GMT 1, Shepard Fairey sells for hundreds of dollars to those Americans! Check out his Andre Warhol print and you'll sell, mates.
Its interesting how the Andre The Giant images are some of the most sought after to US collectors but dont seem to have as much appeal to the UKers. Makes sense but I only realized this recently.

New Josh Keyes, by bonesy on Jul 16, 2008 10:24:47 GMT 1,
You speak as if this rush on the LAG site is a regular thing. There was a rush on the last Keyes release but thats it; I take it that release is the "always" you're referring to. The first Keyes print LAG released was up for ample time with no problems. You cant expect an art gallery that isnt primarily focused on prints (great point Bram) to have their website worked out perfectly the 2nd time a highly desired print is released. They tried to avoid problems by staggering the release, so they're trying.

New Josh Keyes, by bonesy on Jul 16, 2008 0:08:39 GMT 1, From Dave @ LAG....
we keep searching for a way to handle this flood of traffic, but we haven't come across a decent solution yet. for example, our site statistics showed us that we had about 700,000 hits over a 24 hour period during our last release (Watcher #3). that requires a very substantial amount of RAM, and the replacement of a few F5 keys.
i can't speak to the traffic that other artist's sites get during a release (i.e. Obey)... but there's a reason why these site crashes are par for the course for many artists.
if anyone has a technical (and feasible) suggestion for improving this in the future, we are happy to hear about it via pm or email. otherwise, we all appreciate your patience and understanding and wish you the best of luck.
thanks.

BAST?
Jul 10, 2008 22:59:33 GMT 1
BAST?, by bonesy on Jul 10, 2008 22:59:33 GMT 1, more in the frame. less on the floor.
The Minnie is now off the floor and hung nicely with thumbtacks, just like it was at his studio the day I bought it.
I plan on framing the Minnie in a shadow box so the waves and wrinkles in the paper can be shown, the way they were intended, but its gonna be like 6' x 4'. Anyone have photos of a large Key Foods framed? Thinking it'll probably cost $1500+ and have to be framed with UV plexi because of the weight of regular museum glass. Might be difficult to find UV plexi that big as well.... Suggestions?

Gifts from artists..., by bonesy on Jun 17, 2008 22:17:36 GMT 1, Lebo- www.lebostudios.com/content/content/index.htm
Sent me a sketch, CDs with his work, and a couple magnets after talking to him at length. He also gave me (for a wedding present) free Fed Ex crate shipping on a 5' x 3.5' canvas (I thought that was rather nice) and also wrote something about my wife and I "dancing hand in hand into infinity", or something. Great guy.

Anyone into Kaws?, by bonesy on Jun 5, 2008 16:08:51 GMT 1, I dont know, I kinda see him as a modern american Murakami. Lots of parallels... I can see him becoming an icon given some time and growth.
I love his work and think he is on his way as well. I just havent really seen anything that feels new in quite some time. Feel like he's stalled out a bit. Id give anything for a bus shelter painting.

Anyone into Kaws?, by bonesy on Jun 5, 2008 15:13:28 GMT 1, kaws doesn't release a thing for over six months. has me thinking he's working on something new. then releases rehash.
Forget six months, he hasnt really done anything innovative in the past few years. Still love his classic goods though.
