Urban Art Show - Haring to Banksy, by daveart on Jul 7, 2014 13:36:23 GMT 1, Thanks Cardiff - the HED has quickly become a favorite of a few people and definitely a great part of the collection. It was interesting picking the right mix for this show.. we left a lot of good art out and tried to focus in on things that all worked well together.. also showing the re use of imagery by FAILE was a key part of the show. so we used multiples of the dog and bunny girl images and left other images behind. i will say however we totally understimated how much time it takes to package transfer un package and hang all this art.. whew. not looking forward to reversing that whole process later this week..

Urban Art Show - Haring to Banksy, by daveart on Jul 6, 2014 23:32:17 GMT 1, Hey guys.. thanks for the great comments. Wearology -those are the LA2 pieces you helped me with a number of years back - one of the highlights of my personal art collecting experiences has been those two pieces and meeting LA2.
All the art hangs in our corporate office and I have been working on the collection for over ten years. Many of the Banksy, FAILE, Shep pieces were sourced through the forum over the years and i have really appreciated meeting people on here and finding this great artwork..
A few people inquired .. so this is our corporate page about the art:
www.visionary.com/about/arts/
and a page of information our employees did prior to the show.
www.visionary.com/web-design-news/visionary-art.html
and yes, we did get permission from DFace..

Urban Art Show - Haring to Banksy, by daveart on Jul 5, 2014 16:16:09 GMT 1, Hi all, We helped a local gallery do an urban art show titled "Urban Visionaries" Enclosed are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. Overall the show seemed to be well received and i was very happy how the artwork across thirty plus years worked together in one space.
Note 1 : The pieces are not for sale at this time. The show runs another week and all pieces are part of our corporate collection. Which we do sell off pieces from time to time.. just not right now. however, if you want to make crazy top dollar offers..well... as they say..
oh, also, we didnt really have blue tape on the wall during the show.. ha .. didnt realize that until i really looked at the pictures. also, many thanks to many forum members here who have helped us create this collection. One FAILE piece was purchased and delivered only a week before the show.
Really gratifying seeing many people take pictures with the art, ask great questions, and really get involved. We also raffled off a Shepard Fairey print and I think we raised close to a $1000 for the local non profit artists workshop/gallery space.

David Choe , by daveart on Jun 18, 2014 16:22:28 GMT 1, I wonder if Facebook still has the murals in their offices created by David Choe - which i believe made DC one of the wealthiest humans on the planet.. liability??
To be fair to DC i didnt read enough information to be well informed on this. but i read enough to know that if he is 'telling stories' he needs to say so - and then tell a story - like going to a movie - i know the actor didnt kill/hurt those people. Shady at best to come back later and say 'its a story'
i dont like DC art. other than a few early non sexual pieces. a good chunk of his art it is pretty clear he is not really promoting / supporting/ engaging with women in the most healthy way.

Artnet Auctions ๐บ๐ฒ, by daveart on Jun 4, 2014 14:28:28 GMT 1, some nice pieces .. but the starting prices seem crazy high .. like basically needs 1 bid to get to a retail price.. i think they missed the mark on this one. should have started them all 25% lower to get some action going..

Art Wanted, by daveart on Jun 3, 2014 22:00:45 GMT 1, i know nothing of the law. i am just a guy that buys and sells some art here and there. my 2cents. it is absolutely wrong to make a piece of art work that is the same size, same color, same, everything and sell it on for any price. There should be some easy distinguishing characteristic that sets it out ..paper.. size... margin.. anything that makes it readily apparent of what it really is. if it is not readily apparent.. it should be banned from this forum and all places until it meets that criteria. A simple stamp on the back does not cut it in my mind.. as much as people can yell buyer beware... lets yell scammer get out .. what a miserable place to be if the assumption is that people are trying to rip you off... just miserable.

Delete, by daveart on Jun 2, 2014 20:13:31 GMT 1, i read this thinking at some point its like a joke.. a gag .. not true.. like really.. not true.
i am guessing that for 99.99% of the population if you commissioned a piece of art like this for your wedding.. it would be about a three day marriage.. ha..

It's a lot like record collecting!, by daveart on May 30, 2014 18:10:55 GMT 1, the only thing i would add is it is the low price of the unknown artists that allows for the collecting side of things to be fun. you arent risking the kids food budget or the mortgage payment.. its something interesting to buy, hang onto for a while and maybe shift on when needed. The hard thing about this whole forum is the original artists that got it all going are now so expensive that it is impossible to 'collect.' how could anyone starting out today hope to collect Banksy, FAILE, DFACE, Shep, etc originals.. or even prints really.. it was overall more fun when everything was under 1000 in price and you had a pretty solid market to sell things on .. neither gaining or losing a ton.. as the OP states.. the real fun is in the chase, the community, and the enjoyment of having things around that you like.

Faile Smoking Silence 2006 Ed.8, by daveart on May 23, 2014 16:14:56 GMT 1, I'll agree with Motor on this .. I am often amazed at how fast newer prints in high edition fly around the forum and then a edition 4-12 print shows up and people don't seem to realize the quality of these prints. With star spangled shadow edition of 300 selling close to $1000 what's a good rate for a better image and very exclusive edition... Open to debate I guess. My money is on the older small edition prints though

DOLK 'VANDAL' AND 'IDEA PAINTER' NEXT WEEK!, by daveart on May 2, 2014 18:00:47 GMT 1, As I recall .. Back in the day.. Dolk prints like 'I am your father'. Were for sale for many months .. Yes MONTHS.. without selling out and were for sale at like 60 or 70 gbp. I am sure there were lots of flippers back then but I don't think Dolk was quite on the radar yet. it was a much different scene back then.. Hard to say if it was better or worse .. Just different

DOLK 'VANDAL' AND 'IDEA PAINTER' NEXT WEEK!, by daveart on May 1, 2014 15:28:39 GMT 1, i hate to be the one that brings this back on topic,, ahem..
but .. after enlarging the picture to painstaking detail on my trusty computer..
i believe it is not tassles in the pocket or a cap of any type..
in the child's left hand he has two paint brushes.
And the dark spot on the head seems consistent with the dark shading on the whole left side of the body. although .. it could be a cap.. no no .. its just shading. also, after inspection at this detail it did start to bug me that the primary lighting is coming from the right side .. may have been harder to pull off but would have been clever if the lighting were coming from the top as if by envisioning and drawing the light the child made it so.
i still want one .. so again.. pre flip begging begins in line behind ...
me.
thank you..

DOLK 'VANDAL' AND 'IDEA PAINTER' NEXT WEEK!, by daveart on Apr 30, 2014 18:28:27 GMT 1, On a more serious note.. i really like idea painter and i call dibs on the first person that says "i have one in my cart and dont want it ... " pick me please!! i'll make it worth your while.. really.. and this may start a new trend of what i will call 'pre flip begging' yah, i'm a trend setter like that..
oh, and i promise to not make any sarcastic remarks on why in the world people spend time putting things in their carts and jamming up the process if they dont really want the print..
but again, i really want one of these to frame and hope in in the near future those of you who get one but dont want one will think of me and my pathetic pre flip begging. thank you for your help.

Charming Baker NYC Panda Boy, by daveart on Apr 25, 2014 14:15:26 GMT 1, I'll regret this someday I think..ย But looking on offers on a Charming Baker NYC Panda Boy.ย Had this a bit over a year and purchased from a gallery in New York.ย Purchased framed by the gallery. Picture below:
I am offering this at $4200ย ย ย shipped insured in the USA.ย - Outside USA - factor in a bit more for shipping. ย I know that is higher than some sales.. and lower than others.. but that is what i am looking for ..ย enjoyย
Oh, for anyone considering..ย ย I buy art for a commercial office space.ย The #1 reason I am letting this go is a few people (mostly women)ย have commented that it is kind of creepy.ย It doesnt strike me that way.. I think it is an awesome piece with a lot of depth and emotion.ย but the mob rules a bit around here... so, curious if anyone gets that vibe from it..

New MBW print, by daveart on Apr 9, 2014 22:36:23 GMT 1, yo slammer .. Didn't mean to be stupid or offensive .. but hey.. you hang stuff like that i think you are going to have to be a bit thick skinned if people ask what your overall point is.
Oh goodness.. Napalm.. another print i could/would never hang in my house !

New MBW print, by daveart on Apr 9, 2014 21:44:50 GMT 1, Hey Slammer - it wouldnt be that i don't 'like it' but it certainly isnt something i would put on my wall next to the pictures of the two WWII vets in my family. know what i mean??
Curious. Is that something you hang on your wall to be like.. edgy? is it just cool enough there is no contextual meaning needed ? or to you and others.. do you derive some meaning out of this .. and the MBW? i guess i like some pictures of hot women - but i dont think i degrade women every chance i get. so i get that you can like this image but not hate the usa or the fact that this represents a win in the pacific theater of WWII .. does it mean you are upset that Hitler and Hirohito didnt prevail ??

New MBW print, by daveart on Apr 9, 2014 19:55:44 GMT 1, uggh. this is just wrong . It is important to remember this was a historical event. It happened. (Other than some arguments that maybe it was staged for a second better picture ) This was the beginnin of the end of a long tragedy .. not american patriotism. This event was owned by world war II .. and the 60+million people that died. Personally i really dont like coopting of this type of event to make any point other than to discuss the tragedy that is war.. as Ottomatik points out .. MBW is from France .. you might think someone in his family could educate him a bit about WWII - yes i know this was taken in the pacific theater. Taking imporant historical events and making them cute and filppant is not what i need on my walls. my .02cents. anddd.. discuss..
