Miss Bugs 5th June Brighton, by bonesy on Jun 5, 2008 15:07:47 GMT 1, I was up half the night contemplating the Aluminum Elvis's but ultimately passed. Figured it would have probably been $2500 once shipping was paid for. Too much when I still dont have a full feeling of the piece. Im sure its great in person (Bugs has never disappointed before) but the pictures didnt give me a very good feel.
With the he-man & skeletors the pictures provided are framed with paint drips. Im guessing these prints for sale have a different feel as well, Im assuming they dont come framed with the added hand paint.

D*Face Pop Tart Print, by bonesy on Jun 5, 2008 5:12:09 GMT 1, Bonesy, for me he hasn't 'gone cold' as I will still be keeping my other Dface pieces. I have spent a little too much recently buying a faile sepia strange encounters, a faile on book pages, a herakut original, a nick walker original, a TLP canvas, a david choe drawing, an elph original and whatever else. Also had a framing bill as my Parla needed framing. So, its a genuine cry for help to raise some money. Not looking for any sympathy as I didnt have to buy the above pieces but I am an Artaholic!
No need to explain Zippy . I was referring to the fact your having trouble getting an incredibly low price for this. 2 months ago you could have gotten 1.8, easy. Some folks around here decided they dont like DFace anymore and it seems the masses have followed.

I received the email preview as well (sorry not sharing the images) and wish there were better pics of everything but particularly the less expensive ones as I think I may be interested but its kind of hard to tell......
I spoke with the gallery and the edition of 50 prints are only available to those lining up.

D*Face Pop Tart Print, by bonesy on Jun 3, 2008 23:39:11 GMT 1, Its amusing to see how quickly an artist can go cold around here. I love my Yellow Pop Tart and wouldnt let it go for the 2k they were once fetching.

Jose Parla 🇺🇸 New Paintings • Exhibition News • For Sale, by bonesy on Jun 1, 2008 22:33:28 GMT 1, Agree with the sentiments above. The print is flat but a great representation of Parla's work regardless. His hand sandpapering and such just cant be captured via a print. And it is much better than the Memory Documents print.

FOR ALL YOU MEAT EATERS!, by bonesy on Jun 1, 2008 22:06:16 GMT 1,
Nice, Ill definetly check out your recomendation next time I splurge. I found out my credit card rewards can be redeemed for Omaha Steaks . Theyre not top of the line but they do the job considering theyre "free". I have 8 24oz porterhouse's in the freezer; its great having a $40 steak on a random Tuesday night . Dont know if you're familiar with A&S Pork Store down by you but thats always a destination (usually just for a chicken cutlet and fresh mozarella sub) when Im in your neck of the woods.

FOR ALL YOU MEAT EATERS!, by bonesy on Jun 1, 2008 21:14:11 GMT 1, For US folks this is as good as steaks get. Omaha Steaks are garbage compared to the quality marble these guys have. Very pricey (obviously) though.

Rene Gagnon 🇺🇸 Graffiti Art • Painting • Art For Sale, by bonesy on May 22, 2008 20:14:31 GMT 1, Not a framed print, but Im sharin it anyway ;D
I picked this up from Rene almost a year ago and I still look into it much more than anything else, its also the most complimented thing on my walls. Ridiculous colors, layering, and texture. 5' x 3'

Banksy • Festival, Destroy Capitalism, by bonesy on May 22, 2008 9:48:15 GMT 1, I wouldnt exactly call it a dream....if you purchased all 6 in LA (and a good percentage of the 100 were sold in complete sets) they gave you matching numbers. If you're seeking all 6 it'll be much eaiser to find someone that bought a complete set than to piece all 6 together individually.
if a rare matching number set didn't mean f**k all then why did a SIGNED matching number set go for 100k instead of 30k? The 6 sets of signed prints from LA were sold in matching nubmers so not all that rare either. The reason it fetches so much is because there are only 6 PP sets out there, the matching numbers really means nothing on these. From my memory only one set has been broken up, so 5 of the 6 are still matching numbers.

backdoor prints 99p start on ebay now, by bonesy on May 21, 2008 23:22:39 GMT 1, I'll jump in and say I presume this was a damaged print someone returned to them and instead of destroying it they crossed out the number and gifted it. I think it is a crappy thing to do and most reputable print houses wouldnt even consider doing this.

backdoor prints 99p start on ebay now, by bonesy on May 21, 2008 15:19:56 GMT 1, on the issue of backdoor prints and the printer always getting the blame; where would this one originate as it has a number (that has been scrubbed out) and then has test written next to it? It is not mine but belongs to another forum member. Would this print have been a damaged return that has somehow gone out of the front door of POW? Presumably so IMO. I think it should also be mentioned that this particular print was given to someone by POW.

backdoor prints 99p start on ebay now, by bonesy on May 21, 2008 14:26:49 GMT 1, I have to agree with Jam. IMO POW et el made a massive mistake by letting these out, however close they are to the originals. However, richy is well within his rights to sell them and certainly hasn't mislead any buyers, the mistake lies elsewhere.
Agree 100%
Backdoor prints? But the POW site claims each image is produced strictly to the edition number stated..... If so, how can these exist? Unless their website is blatantly lying.

12 mins to go...S&S Lookin CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!, by bonesy on May 21, 2008 14:13:53 GMT 1, They were much higher a month ago, there were also very few hitting ebay. I think people are nervous with values declining lately. I noticed 4 or 5 listed at once late last week, opposed to times last month where there were zero listed. Its panic selling like this that can really hurt things.

Soup Can on the Bay, by bonesy on May 21, 2008 11:21:20 GMT 1, I think this original color was 50 signed, then the colorways were editions of 10, and 250 unsigned sounds about right.

Banksy • Soup Cans Poster, by bonesy on May 21, 2008 11:01:32 GMT 1, The shipping charge on these to the US was almost the same cost as the print so I doubt very many got shipped over here. (just an added bit of info)

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by bonesy on May 16, 2008 21:01:51 GMT 1, Os Gemeos, The Flowers In This Garden Were Planted By My Grandparents. Ive been after one for ages chuffed to bits to finally get one. Only just seen this Skanky, that is genius
Wow. So its a screen on wood? Whats the edition size, dimensions, and year? If you dont mind me bombarding you with questions.... ;D Great piece!
Edit: At second look.... I take it its an original? The "chuffed to finally get one" and "chasing one for nearly a year" through me off.

Bast has said he dosnet mind people re-selling these "release"; prints its when theyve hooked up "fans" in the past that they get upset. Last time I saw them speak on the subject anyways.

Celebrity Banksy Collectors, by bonesy on May 13, 2008 20:46:07 GMT 1, Leo is a big Mark Ryden collector from what I hear
Yup, he got into a bidding war at the Tree Show (for the General Sherman I think) and ended up losing it. His parents were big art people so its something he's grown up with and not just drifted over to with the masses (to be fair).

2 x signed Jack and Jills on 'Bay, by bonesy on May 8, 2008 23:45:01 GMT 1, Have there ever been reports of a fake signed Jack & Jill? I saw mention of folks being nervous to buy a Stop & Search off ebay today because of the recent "fake" prints, Ive never heard of a "fake" S&S either. Not saying either image is impossible to fake but its more the images that are notorious for backdoor prints existing that would make me nervous.

2 x signed Jack and Jills on 'Bay, by bonesy on May 8, 2008 23:42:36 GMT 1, I would think these are legit. If the seller bought 2 of these from POW he probably would have got sequential numbers. Selling them at the same time is foolish though as he's competing with himself.

Shepard Fairey going blind?, by bonesy on May 7, 2008 12:21:24 GMT 1, Posted by Jonathan LeVine who was "interviewed" in the article:
"I spoke to Amanda and Shep the minute I got off the phone with you as I knew that this might potentially be reported on and I wanted them to know. They both said it was completely untrue. Shep has had two eye operations but his site is very good and he is not going blind. His vision is actually quite good now as he has a great eye doctor."
