Sandra Chevrier โข La cage et la dignitรฉ, by daveart on Mar 14, 2016 22:25:50 GMT 1, i'll regret opening this can of worms. But as a free painting artist. ie. give any artists in the scene a blank canvas and some paint brushes and some paint.. and i think she stands up very well. i really dont know anymore what artists out there are free painting.. vs computer images, hired help, assistants, etc, etc. Sandra seems very talented to me. is she riding one pony too long? who knows... that miro guy filled a whole career of squiggles. sera, katz, sultan, baechler, the list would go on... of artists that rode a theme for a good long while.. good / bad// who knows.

Sandra Chevrier โข La cage et la dignitรฉ, by daveart on Mar 9, 2016 21:00:48 GMT 1, didnt read this whole mess. but Audrey Kawasaki has been doing timed releases for years and i dont recall there being a lot of dissatisfaction with that. . . buy what you like people.. dont have to drag down an artist that is working hard to further her art and her career. and you cannot really fully appreciate the cost of flying to shows and putting on shows and all the related expenses..etc..etc.. They need money to do all these things so we can show up all chill and have a drink and think it all looks so simple. its a lot of work for the artist and all involved.. and i never question their right to bring in funds. so, again, buy or dont buy... simples.

Faile - happens everyday! / Gender bias discussion..., by daveart on Mar 9, 2016 20:53:00 GMT 1, good topic. i hang a lot of art in an office setting. i have handled this in two ways. one. anything that seems remotely out of line i send a picture to a number of women in the office you like art and ask them if they have any issues or suggestions with a particular piece. having input from everyone has helped dissuade people from getting too bent out of shape when i say "well, this is the group of people that approved this art work. ' Secondly, i hide our HED it in the far back of the office.. in conjunction with this remote placement i have a Tender Forever in the same room- not sure exactly down to the scare cm but the female is only wearing slightly less.
i do pass on a lot of art i would probably buy but i realize it has to hang in an office.. or at my house.. and strangely enough .. the requirements for hanging at my house are actually much more stringent.

Buy Shep's House - reasonable offers accepted, by daveart on Jan 26, 2016 21:05:40 GMT 1, This looks pretty nice really.. if anyone wants to go halvsies let me know.... ie. you pay .. i enjoy ... fair?
www.wsj.com/articles/artist-shepard-fairey-lists-in-los-angeles-for-1-84-million-1453327105
seriously though.. maybe it was staged a bit for sale.. but i find it a bit odd that the only art in the house is his. wouldnt he hang other artists ? or maybe just for sale purposes and to emphasize it is his he only hung his art ? Nice looking art at that ..but still seems odd..

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by daveart on Jan 23, 2016 13:20:28 GMT 1, Art hunter- how did you pay. Most credit cards have fraud protection and you should use that .. Paypal - same but not as good in my opinion .. Bank wire -- big problem after a few days .,, good luck .. Hopefully you have enough information on them from the deal .. Name address bank info etc to give them a good scare and get your funds back .. And when in doubt use the forum in the future / before buying! I've been in your spot .. Don't beat yourself up ..

Natural light - how much is too much.., by daveart on Dec 31, 2015 15:25:42 GMT 1, Great information - thanks for the post mla - The only thing to do appears to be to buy a light monitor and measure and really see what is happening in a room. i cant imagine many people here have rooms that are without windows. And whats the point of windows if you have a light blocking shade drawn all day long.
Obviously you dont want to hang a banksy print in direct sunlight. but i wonder if some prints get a lot more light exposure than the owner really realizes.
i don't really enjoy the thought of buying fake prints to hang.. hmm.. lets see.. buying two of each i want is an option wait no no no.. must not buy more art..

Natural light - how much is too much.., by daveart on Dec 30, 2015 18:07:25 GMT 1, Curious if anyone has a way to measure for potential UV damage from lighting.ย
Assuming you frame a modern print with modern UV plexi or better.ย Assuming you are in a modern building and the windows that most likely have some type of UV filtering as well.ย ย Is there any type of meter? or paper guide ?ย that could tell you what the potential light damage could/would be over a long period of time in a well lit room. ย Still out of the way of direct sunlight but in a room with a lot of natural or bulb made light.
of course i could cover half of an image with heavy paper and waiting 5 years , remov the paper, and seeing if there is any difference side to side.ย but i dont want to wait five years and i dont want to ruin a print just for an experiment either.
so, curious if relying on UV plexi is enough .. or if my incessant closing of blinds and only hanging art in the darkest areas is really worth the effort... and if there is any way to test for this to know for sure.

What makes people like Banksy works so much, by daveart on Dec 22, 2015 15:26:20 GMT 1, This is a tricky one really. For me there is Why did i like Banksy 'back then' and why do i continue to care now. For me back then was probably 2006 ish. i think i joined this forum in early 2008. I liked that no one i knew had heard of him - i am in rural middle of the USA - He was using the internet in exciting ways. He was bypassing normal gallery channels - and i was at the time and still now very interested in disruptive technologies and changing the power structure from the establishment to a more diversified individual level. etc. He was making great artwork that was a encapsulating the social mood of the day..etc. and frankly.. i could affford the art. sure in 2007 i would have loved to have been buying warhols & lichtenstiens.. i mean why not? oh .. why not? galleries wouldnt even talk to me when i walked in the door in jeans and a tshirt and a ball cap. i wasnt really their demographic.. so ..F them. i'll buy art online .. and then i found this forum.. and it was all over really.. Banksy Have a nice day was my first print. i think it perfectly stated how i felt about the whole mess in the world.. there were really smart people trying to help.. putting these men and women in harms way,etc.. but they were making a mess of everything.
People on this forum at the time were debating if banksy prints were worth $800 USD. ha. etc. it was fun. buy, trade, meet people. why not? any wanker can walk into a gallery and bang money on their visa gold card .. whatever. i wanted a deeper interaction with the art, the artists, and the people interested.
Banksy today. honestly.. if i just got into this scene today.. umm.. no. i couldnt do it. 7-10K + for your first unsigned print? ha ha .. no i dont think so. i have a lot of respect for Banksy back in the day.. i don't know now.. its all so big and not really what i got into to begin with. I'll hang my head in shame and admit i sold a Banksy this year.. didnt think i ever would. but.. the money is crazy.. and i used the funds to buy a Swoon and i gave her a donation for her kickstarter campaign, a Chevrier original, a FAILE, etc.. maybe financially a bad move but overall, i am pretty dang happy with it right now.
So, Banksy THEN... YES. Banksy now. hard to know what to do .. its all so different than what i got into to begin with. well, enjoy it all regardless of where you are with your collecting interests. for me, i doubt i would ever buy another Banksy but damn happy with the ones i still have.

New print Sandra Chevrier, by daveart on Dec 18, 2015 0:52:56 GMT 1, i didnt buy this print so maybe shouldnt comment. but i think when you take a picture of anything from 5cm away you get a different feel than what is intended from say 5 meters away. i would suggest going to the sales page. are there close ups from 5cm? do they show a different quality? or if they are pictures of the whole print.. take a picture of your whole print.. do they have the same quality ? i do not know the answers.
i have defintely bought prints that when looked at in person were not exactly what i was thiking when looking at online.
if the print is as the printer/artist intended.... i think i would have to say 'you got what they sold' .. if there is obvious quality differences from what is advertised.. then you are in a different conversation.
anyway, i'd slow down the pitch fork gathering until someone can show that what was delivered varied vastly from what was advertised.
oh, and of course stop talking these down so you can flip em on ebay ha

Upcoming Faile release, by daveart on Dec 3, 2015 15:15:03 GMT 1, actually pretty impressed if the portfolio sold out this quickly.. i thought it may take a while. my guess is that most FAILE work ends up in the hands of 'people' instead of galleries ? anyone else have thoughts on this.. flipping doesnt usually work for FAILE either as the pricing is pretty spot on the market. So, overall, it seems there is a broad fanbase here and they are willing to pay for these works... pretty cool for FAILE.. and i personally have no problem with them making money to pay their bills. I dont have any idea if they get paid to do things like the museum show or the wheel at times square. those are huge efforts and not without cost.. so, if they have to bank some money now it all seems like fair play to me.

Upcoming Faile release, by daveart on Dec 2, 2015 18:39:45 GMT 1, Not worth fighting over .. You like it or you don't .. If you prefer a colored snoopy .. There's a que forming for that.
Faile definitely is producing more finished work .. MuEum show , Times Square , etc. They are married with children no? I think their vandal days are behind them ...

Upcoming Faile release, by daveart on Dec 2, 2015 16:46:22 GMT 1, These look really great to me.. for those of you who didnt get to see the show at Brooklyn museum these prints are based on the canvas pieces at the show. the faile.net site now shows both the prints and the actual canvas pieces as they hung in the museum. i am scared to consider the price on this... 6 prints - good size.. edition 100 for the set. .. museum show images..i'll throw out a guess...minimum of $500 per print? 3K for the set?
one thing that is unclear.. the print edition individually says 300. i am not sure if this is on top of th 100 in the portfolio.. or if there are only 200 in the editon after the 100 in the portfolio.. i'll admit that #2 is a must have for me

#Peace For Paris , by daveart on Nov 18, 2015 17:22:33 GMT 1, Nuart... if you want to call Russia having democratic elections for Putin .. i'll give it to you on a technicality. same with Lebanon.. but if you believe those are true free elections we can just agree to disagree. History is very messy and complex. It would be interesting to take your list - i certanily dont have the time - and say 'ok. why was 'the west' messing about in those places and what would have happend if the west hadnt stepped in in some way. .. maybe some the west caused the mess.. but i can see a few where it was in RESPONSE to a mess. and suretly these are different scenarios in the same list.. example - it is hard for me to talk historical facts that i recall (i am not a historian) and come to the conclusion that the west CAUSED what was later to be called ethnic cleansing in Bosnia but only got involved in response to what was happening. here's wikipedias take on it <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing_in_the_Bosnian_War> i have no idea if it's right. but 'the west bombed Bosnia' is certanily not the correct historical response?
we dont need to debate this.. i am happy in my wrongness if i am wrong. i am not a power broker.. i simply read books and such and dont mind complex answers to complex situations

#Peace For Paris , by daveart on Nov 18, 2015 15:17:06 GMT 1, i don't know about some of these 'summary' videos. nI am not a scholar in history. just old enough to remember a bunch of it. or, maybe i have too much hope in the human race to believe that - i'll intentionally use general terms .. 'the west' is incenting 'people in the middle east' to rape and torture their own people, prevent their women from education or rights, destroying gains in all kind of social ways, impeeding free trade, propogating hatred against jewish people, etc, etc, etc. i mean consider the power you assign to 'the west' to create puppets of hate around the world. again, call me naive, but , i am not willing to go that route. you must start with history.. not politics, history. maybe start with the lead up to WWI, how it ended, the lead up to WWII , how it ended, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf war 1 , gulf war II, etc. and many skirmshes in between. its massivly complex.. and to boil it all down to 'the elite power brokers in the west' .. eh. not sure on that. true i am in 'the west' however, my family lineage ties to germany and greece within a few generations. i have travelled the world, i dont see anything as being this easy to summarize. with history you also have to ask - what would have happend if xyz hadnt have happened. what would the world look like had any of the major wars gone the other way.. what would the world look like if 'the west' truly left the middle east alone fully completely. i certainly dont know. i will tell you this. people like to talk about the fall of rome when discussing 'the fall of the west' and completely overlook that after the fall of rome came a period basically referred to as 'the dark ages' in our history books. need an example of this. look at north/south korea. look at west/east germany up through the wall coming down. everything in history has a point and counter point. I have adopted children from orphanages, i have tried to educated myself on history.. and i try to avoid 'simple answers' i will never be an elite power broker - whatever that means- i vote in public elections - i'll end on what i believe to be a historical fact.... no two countries with democratic elections have been at war with eachother in the modern age. think. vote. pray that more people get the right to think and vote. and that includes women around the world.
ok, back to the art threads
i don't know about some of these 'summary' videos. nI am not a scholar in history. just old enough to remember a bunch of it. or, maybe i have too much hope in the human race to believe that - i'll intentionally use general terms .. 'the west' is incenting 'people in the middle east' to rape and torture their own people, prevent their women from education or rights, destroying gains in all kind of social ways, impeeding free trade, propogating hatred against jewish people, etc, etc, etc. i mean consider the power you assign to 'the west' to create puppets of hate around the world. again, call me naive, but , i am not willing to go that route. you must start with history.. not politics, history. maybe start with the lead up to WWI, how it ended, the lead up to WWII , how it ended, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf war 1 , gulf war II, etc. and many skirmshes in between. its massivly complex.. and to boil it all down to 'the elite power brokers in the west' .. eh. not sure on that. true i am in 'the west' however, my family lineage ties to germany and greece within a few generations. i have travelled the world, i dont see anything as being this easy to summarize. with history you also have to ask - what would have happend if xyz hadnt have happened. what would the world look like had any of the major wars gone the other way.. what would the world look like if 'the west' truly left the middle east alone fully completely. i certainly dont know. i will tell you this. people like to talk about the fall of rome when discussing 'the fall of the west' and completely overlook that after the fall of rome came a period basically referred to as 'the dark ages' in our history books. need an example of this. look at north/south korea. look at west/east germany up through the wall coming down. everything in history has a point and counter point. I have adopted children from orphanages, i have tried to educated myself on history.. and i try to avoid 'simple answers' i will never be an elite power broker - whatever that means- i vote in public elections - i'll end on what i believe to be a historical fact.... no two countries with democratic elections have been at war with eachother in the modern age. think. vote. pray that more people get the right to think and vote. and that includes women around the world. ok, back to the art threads

Holiday Presents, Soul Cleansing, Board Purification = SWOON, by daveart on Nov 13, 2015 15:19:44 GMT 1, I am very happy to see that the project was fully funded by the end of the campaign. Swoon has put herself out for others on this and i am happy others here joined in to help.. Most likely there is still a lot of hard work out there in front of this project and i hope they keep the momentum up to get this rolling.

Holiday Presents, Soul Cleansing, Board Purification = SWOON, by daveart on Nov 12, 2015 15:02:09 GMT 1, Give me 20 seconds of your day. I want to air my frustration that this board can entertain a 10 page conversation about 'has the place changed", we watch Brainwash prints sell out, we bicker and fight over pricing , we moan about the good old days, we worry the scene has lots its edge or whatever.
And all the while, i see SWOON - don't tune out now just because there isn't actually a new Banksy print. I see SWOON Braddock tiles sit unsold on her kickstarter site. Not to mention prints by a number of other artists.
LOOK. This is a chance to cleanse your art buying SOUL. Support SWOON. Get your girlfriend that doesn't understand your art a nice SWOON print. Get your mom a nice silk scarf. Buy a tile for your sister. Buy the signed print if you have the funds. but do SOMETHING. or your art buying soul will regret it later. Your checkout pages will crash on upcoming releases. Your F5 key will break just as brainwash drops another picture of a Banana. You will lose battery power buying another edition 500 Fairey print of an oil derrick. Whatever, i promise you ..... dont risk it.. cleanse your soul for the next year today.
LISTEN - I believe SWOON is the heart and soul of what is left of the original group of artists that started the current Street scene. If you don't have $100 to support her you best not buy ANY OTHER ART for a whole year! YEP i said it. But you can Cleanse your soul here first..and then carry on snapping up all that art to store under your bed.
This is the anti brainwash ripoff, RETNA tantrum, Que jumping, Kuntrassesn hype building, Whatson bashing, cartel building, name calling ELIXER ...rid your conscience of all of this and support this Kickstarter campaign. RIGHT. NOW.
If you want multiple pieces just donate whatever higher amount and then send them a quick note asking for a Scarf, a print, a tile. They will get it sorted.
Send them a note saying you are from the board.. lets make in impact. PLEASE do THIS.

Mr Brainwash Print Release, by daveart on Oct 30, 2015 19:04:44 GMT 1, absolutely Black Apple..... individual collectors can take some high road about what art is best.. if you are paying lease, salaries, marketing, etc.. galleries stock what is selling. period. if they stock what they think people should buy. and they don't. bye bye gallery. it's the continuation of pop / mixed with Urban ? .. simple easy to consume art that fits well in your living room.. and i too had a big gallery tell me essentially "Shepard Fairey doesnt sell.. brainwash sells" which was funny in that a few miles away there was a Fairey display at Pace that was amazing.

Mr Brainwash Print Release, by daveart on Oct 30, 2015 14:24:51 GMT 1, Was recently in NYC .. its amazing the # of galleries selling brainwash now. right there on west broadway.. lots of canvases for 20k 30k etc. Mostly banksy rip offs thought which i never understand .. lots of flower thrower images, etc. i was in three high end galleries - ie. brainwash hanging next to Hirst, Warhol, etc. all 20k-100k art.. and the gallery people told me they get the MOST foot traffic regarding brainwash work. ie. people walking in saying "do you have brainwash pieces' etc. just throwing that out.. as said by others above .. wall friendly, consumeable, reasonable price points, backed by movie and name recognition ..etc. you can fight it .. but at this point i dont think you will beat it.

STOP AND SEARCH SOLD A PHILLIPS , by daveart on Oct 26, 2015 20:44:25 GMT 1, Good point Black Apple.. the multiple colors gave an impression of a small edition.. but taken collectively the image is not in any way a limited release.
