Book Jackets by artists, by trapnel1 on Apr 3, 2016 11:49:23 GMT 1, My twopenith worth: Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho, cover illustration by Marshall Arisman I know this cover, but wasn't familiar with Marshal Arisman.....
Despite this being a major American Novel, it was only published as a paperback in the US so this was the first hardcover edition in English (Picador, 1998) which definitely boosts its desirability. The first printing is currently over ยฃ100.... There was a 2012 American Hardcover from Centipede Press (200 copies only) which is significantly more expensive.

Banksy Laugh Now Print, by trapnel1 on Apr 3, 2016 10:16:14 GMT 1, 1. Date. When astroboy identified it as a sketch for Pulp Fiction, I asked about the date of that work and elicited a quip from trapnel1 about April First (I originally planned to put this up for sale on eBay starting on April Fools' day, for added irony, but now I'm looking at May Day bank holiday w/e.) The quip was in relation to your apparent lack of awareness of what the sketch represented, rather than the date of origin! However, I'm enjoying the thread and looking forward to seeing where this shaggy dog story will end up.......

Book Jackets by artists, by trapnel1 on Apr 2, 2016 20:24:38 GMT 1, I'm currently getting my books shelved after a house move. I've collected books for years, long before I purchased any significant art - mainly first edition literary fiction (surely there must be one or two other collectors here?).
With first edition fiction, the cover is a critical part of the package (and condition makes a huge difference). I'm interested in compiling a list of covers designed by the artists we talk about here. Not catalogues or art books, just fiction. I don't think there will be many (why not?), but I'm ready to be surprised. There's a wealth of knowledge here to be shared...
I'll kick things off with the cover to Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, which I only recently found out was designed by Kai and Sunny. Published by Sceptre in 2004 and shortlisted for the Booker Prize - also a good read, which is definitely not always the case! Not a particularly rare book, but ยฃ100 plus for a fine first edition....

Tastes change, by trapnel1 on Apr 2, 2016 19:52:01 GMT 1, My music tastes remain current. I get tired of almost anything I have listened to repeatedly. With art (or at least some art) it's different; I suspect it relates to the way in which our brains work, with variation between individuals for genetic / structural / environmental reasons. I rarely re-read a book either, with a small number of exceptions......

Eelus 3D Lenticular "Not Everything Is So Black & White", by trapnel1 on Mar 30, 2016 12:59:28 GMT 1, Once again, I seem to be in the minority. I can't see the point of these. Why do people want an image that moves a little bit? Mind you, I liked the effect when I was a kid. Anyway, good luck to those of you going for one. (Or, you could buy an original by an emerging artist!) I feel pretty much the same. I have one of Adam Neate's lenticulars, and would swap it for an equivalent print anyday. Maybe it's the sheen, or the fuzziness given to the image, but for me no matter how well it's done, there's always something slightly unsatisfying about it. The skill of capturing a sense of movement without resorting to technical trickery appeals much more......

Kai & Sunny ๐ฌ๐ง New Print Release โข Exhibition News, by trapnel1 on Mar 12, 2016 20:29:17 GMT 1, Great pictures - these pieces look fantastic. Hard to imagine how they do them in ballpoint pen.....
I assume special pens / inks must be involved given the propensity of standard inks to fade - does anybody know?
There was a really interesting article in the Guardian as well. I wasn't aware of their close association with David Mitchell (the author rather than the comedian). He's one of my favourite writers, and his early books are very collectible. (I didn't know that they had done the cover of the Cloud Atlas UK edition). All of which means that the letterpress edition of his short story written for the show with the print looks very attractive to me. Only three left now!

Sandra Chevrier, by trapnel1 on Mar 5, 2016 21:48:27 GMT 1, There is a forum rule stating that under 50 posts none shall make a sale thread.......but if you have a nice piece for sale (here the case) guardians close eyes and forumites do not destroy thread. Lucky here! This was a previous rule, but is no longer the case. So no question of guardians closing eyes!
It still makes sense to build up a profile and make a positive contribution to the forum if you want to sell, as it help to boost the confidence of potential buyers.

Recently framed (but not necessarily new) artwork thread, by trapnel1 on Mar 5, 2016 20:10:01 GMT 1, Dog look great! Is the bottom one an expensive Hirst print? If so, please do be aware that ikea frames have glass that have no UV protection whatsoever. If it's a real Hirst Valium, it would be better in another frame. If it's a fake/copy, enjoy - it looks great!

Buying Advice, by trapnel1 on Mar 4, 2016 21:07:59 GMT 1, I am wondering how people get comfortable purchasing prints (possibly internationally) with others on the Boards? What checklist of precautions should one take? Does Paypal provide sufficient protection if the item never shows up or is fake or damaged? If there is a thread of this nature already, apologies, and let me know its location. Thanks. I think you can have a lot of confidence when buying from well-established members of the board. Have a look at how many posts someone has made, their content, and how other members interact with them. People who have been here a long time and have a good reputation can generally be trusted to behave well. I have had many good experiences buying from (and occasionally selling to) established members, and no bad ones.
When buying from newbies, I would be very cautious.

For Sale: David Walker 'Lena' (pose 1) print, by trapnel1 on Feb 24, 2016 23:34:54 GMT 1, Oh sorry :s I've been a member on here for a while but haven't been on for ages. Is that a new rule? ย ย There is no longer a requirement for 50 posts before posting a sale, so this is ok. ย
We do encourage anyone who is relatively new to introduce themselves and build up a profile through useful contributions before selling - it will help to give members more confidence in dealing with you.ย
