New Eine Print at Stolenspace, by twist65 on Jan 9, 2014 15:23:09 GMT 1, yeah and I think people also aren't too bothered when a supposed king of screen printing knocks out glicees for £350. ok there's a bit of gloss and glitter on there but come on... a bit lazy to say the least considering he made his rep in part as a screenprinter. If Eine can't be bothered with his own releases then no-one else is going to get excited about them either! Raised an eyebrow when I saw how many of the colourways (except black) were left...

Remi Rough 🇬🇧 New Print Release • Exhibition News , by twist65 on Jan 7, 2014 17:20:46 GMT 1, I think those complaining most were people that registered interest pretty early, had emails back from the gallery confirming they were in the running, then discovered the gallery had sold sets of 4 to some people and no longer had any for them... maybe right to be annoyed. Depends how you see it. fair do's if thats the case happyshopper. always gonna be some people disappointed in these situations though. seemed to me like the gallery were genuine folks who maybe didn't quite expect the overwhelming demand the show/print got. much easier to let people down via email than someone who's come to your opening night in person with money to spend, would prob do the same myself being honest.

Remi Rough 🇬🇧 New Print Release • Exhibition News , by twist65 on Jan 7, 2014 15:40:30 GMT 1, you're not being thick, there was no balls-up from what I could see. basically the gallery couldn't do the print release online, so announced a day or so before the release that it would no longer be online, and prints would go to people who had emailed them already on a first-come-first-served basis. they had already had loads of emails about the print so with no online drop seemed fairest way.. of course people who hadn't emailed weren't happy, the usual storm-in-teacup, people who missed out on the print saying worst release ever blah blah...
some of these collabs look fantastic btw..

Alec Monopoly 🇺🇸 Graffiti • Street Art • Print Release, by twist65 on Dec 19, 2013 23:51:36 GMT 1, This isn't true. He grew up in central Long Island. He built his career from scratch in the streets of NYC. His dad was into music in the 60s & 70s but is far from wealthy. He's a solid bloke who caught a break when Adrian Brody picked up a canvas a few years ago at Art Basel. Could be but multiple people have told me he is basically the Lana Del Rey of the art world. Fake back story with a huge bank account funding it all. I don't know the guy so you could be 100% correct. Regardless I think his work is pretty boring. Not as bad as MBW but nothing great and probably ridiculously over priced. I've heard his back story from various places too, in great detail. I don't know the artist personally either though, and don't mean any harm nrgball, but would bet a million pounds in monopoly money that the "building a career from scratch from the streets" story is fabricated to sound credible.
I haven't got a problem with him being out there, fair play, maybe in his position i'd do similar, but why not be honest about your background? His work isn't terrible but considering the subject of most of his work seems to be wealth, maybe it would have more relevance without the spin and bull? It is possible to be a credible artist and not hide your privileged background, just look at Jonathan Yeo.

BEWARE • Fake Invader Kits, by twist65 on Dec 16, 2013 12:22:42 GMT 1, I know there are already good images etc on here to spot fakes, but I meant to do so last month and forgot - if it helps anyone else to avoid getting scammed then I figure worth posting again..
FAKE HYPNOTIC VIENNA - close up of front of bag - you can see where the bag has had the original print removed and turned inside out before reprinting, there is a slightly visible mirror image "deboss" of the original print from the bag... Note the 2012 letters mirror-imaged to the left of the new fake printed 2010 date...
Reverse - this was easier to spot especially when comparing the fake kit to a legit kit (something I should have done straight away but you live and learn)... The instructions sheet is inkjet printed - you can see the banding from the print head, and the cyan, magenta and yellow inks are also present, fuzzing the text slightly and appearing in the tints. On the legit kits I had, the label was either litho printed or screen printed, as the black was totally solid, so printed as a spot colour, really dense and sharp.
I scanned these high res at work, and forwarded copies of the scans to Orbi as I thought they would want as much info on fakes as possible. Really hope no-one else gets burnt with these, but sadly looks like a problem thats not going to go away... =[

Stik at Dorian Grey Show and new Print release, by twist65 on Dec 12, 2013 16:28:17 GMT 1, Well I know it sucks for the genuine fans who didn't email well in advance, but I know one forum member here who is totally nuts on Stik, and has been emailing the gallery and facebooking them pretty much every day for the past 2 months! So sounds like he's gonna get sorted and if so his print couldn't be going to a better home.
Good work Wearology keeping everyone in the loop. Plus I think its a lot better to do it this way even at short notice than to attempt a botched online release if the website can't handle it, been too many of them lately..

Considering how sh!te the art is on this thread, it really has had a great deal to offer. Hang in there Tony though eh, can't be all bad, nearly Xmas after all!

If we ignore it, it will go away... =]

I had to send a grovelling email after! Got a very pleasant reply too, was half-expecting an insulting one but he must save those for the art! =]
