New Hush Print, by twist65 on Nov 27, 2013 11:59:42 GMT 1, If you've got a paypal confirmation then I wouldn't worry, if there had been an over-sell issue (which there wasn't) then you would have been told by now. Was speaking to Rachel about a separate matter the other day and this release went silky smooth.. I know people are so used to issues with releases that you kind of expect it now, but defo no problem here!

Retna • Braddock Tiles, by twist65 on Nov 26, 2013 17:04:18 GMT 1, think it would have sold out pretty quick regardless of being posted on here, Retna has a lot of fans out there.. Also since they were available in person prior to the online drop there's a good chance a fair few of the eBay ones are in hand.
Thanks again to brownbuffalo tho, I would have missed this otherwise, was familiar with this project but didn't know there was a Retna print coming. Defo a keeper =]

DOLK “Graffiti Remover” & “Angels” Print Release, by twist65 on Nov 26, 2013 13:51:37 GMT 1, so, Angels is either a sub-GCSE attempt at creating a meaningful critique on religion, or a terrible image which the artist didn't know what to do with, so resorted to the tried-and-tested tag jumble overlay to make it look "street" and considered... I think i'll take the no-doubt-forthcoming hand finished version at approx £2k for an edition of 100 please!!

New Hush Print, by twist65 on Nov 25, 2013 13:58:10 GMT 1, congrats all who scored. school run meant I was out of the game at the crucial time on this one, hoping large edition size means they won't be too hard to come by at a reasonable cost on the secondary. Hush prints always look gorgeous sure this will be no different.

DALeast 🇨🇳 Wuhan, China • Street Art • Based in Cape Town, by twist65 on Nov 22, 2013 15:43:57 GMT 1, ^^^ sadly ambo I'm pretty certain Laz can survive just fine from selling high end originals by JR, Conor Harrington, Banksy, Faile, Bast etc!!
Think you have to take the "queue monkeys" comments with a shovel full of salt too - what else do you call people who stand in the cold freezing rain all day for a print, even though i'd be happy to do so myself you have to admit its a bizarre way to spend a day!!!
Looking forward to reading Payneys sale thread...

DALeast 🇨🇳 Wuhan, China • Street Art • Based in Cape Town, by twist65 on Nov 22, 2013 12:54:40 GMT 1, thats pretty poor to be fair. nothing wrong with giving people a bit of proper customer service, at the end of the day he's just a jumped up shop assistant, needs an attitude transplant by the sounds of things in fairness, he told us that he's been collecting art since he's 14 so he's a rich kid shop assistant...makes it easier to cop an attitude that way i suppose. Actually i've just put 2 and 2 together and I actually know Ben, and he's a really nice genuine lad who prior to working at Laz has helped me out a number of times. He's one of the most passionate people i've met in this scene and defo not the rich-kid-with-attitude type or anything like that, can't believe he intentionally meant to upset anyone, the decision to restrict the number of prints won't have been his. I'm sure it was a stressful day.
Blame staying up all night to watch a pathetic batting collapse on my morning crankiness!

DALeast 🇨🇳 Wuhan, China • Street Art • Based in Cape Town, by twist65 on Nov 22, 2013 12:05:11 GMT 1, Nice to meet some forum members yesterday in the queue, had a good time knocking about in newcastle looking for saunas with the ratcatcher, ha! Overall I thought the pieces were excellent, the massive lion being the (obvious) standout piece and not bad value I thought at around 6-7k when canvases half the size were 4-5k. The studies were amazing and I'm seriously kicking myself for not bothering to get the PDF now. The quality of the etchings is superb too, dawn being my favourite. I thought the Outsiders attitude was pretty disgusting all round. I asked Ben when he was handing out tickets why they were going to release only 40 and he said, "well I need one, the other staff all need one and there might be others who need one too" and shrugged his shoulders. There was no respect for anyone in the queue. When asked whether we'd get lower numbers at the front of the queue he said no, as that would be "a complete nightmare" to organise. Sorry what's your job again??? He was really quite rude when handing out the prints too. We were also told not to try to talk to Dal if he turns up as "he doesnt like people". WTF. However at least there was a ticketing system which meant we didn't have to stand around all day so credit for that. I think prices in the gallery included VAT which is why they may have been different? thats pretty poor to be fair. nothing wrong with giving people a bit of proper customer service, at the end of the day he's just a jumped up shop assistant, needs an attitude transplant by the sounds of things

DALeast 🇨🇳 Wuhan, China • Street Art • Based in Cape Town, by twist65 on Nov 22, 2013 11:37:19 GMT 1, To be fair I think its a bit of a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, granted I wouldn't agree if i was #45 in the queue and had travelled a long way, but at the end of the day you take your chances, no-one forces you to travel up for this, and unless there was an absolute sh!tload of APs there was never going to be the full edition available anyway. Most people would have guessed as much, its just a shame it wasn't communicated up front.
Would have been a hundred times worse if the show had been in London and there were 80 or so prints available at approx a fifth of market value. Laz put on what sounds like a pretty interesting show with some huge pieces, sketches and an affordable if very limited print. Queuers were issued with tickets early doors so none of the winter queue madness other print releases have had in the past. Not a bad effort really.

DALeast 🇨🇳 Wuhan, China • Street Art • Based in Cape Town, by twist65 on Nov 21, 2013 15:34:20 GMT 1, Have to agree they've dropped a bit of a b0ll0ck saying that all 50 were available on the night and only to people attending. They should have said only 35 available on the night or something. Not say one thing and seemingly change their minds when there's already a queue outside on the morning of the show..
I don't have a problem with prints being held back, its the norm and if I was a Laz big spender, or had put my name down on one of the ogs from this show, I would be disappointed if I wasn't given the option on a print too. But if they had communicated this from the start then I imagine a few people heading up from dahn sarf just to score a print wouldn't have bothered.. Those early trains from Kings Cross are a good couple of hundred quid too..

Favorite framing job. Post your pics!, by twist65 on Nov 20, 2013 19:22:36 GMT 1, I don't have any pics to hand, but to wade into the ornate/simple box debate, I think it also depends not only on the art but the setting where you are hanging it. Not everyone lives in modern studio apartments.
Most of my stuff in the office I keep clean and simple but we live in a really old house and white box frames look a bit out of sync. We have most of our stuff in white or gold ornate frames around the house and the overall effect is way better than it would look in plain old box frames..

DALeast 🇨🇳 Wuhan, China • Street Art • Based in Cape Town, by twist65 on Nov 20, 2013 18:54:30 GMT 1, Can someone post some pics then or is it not allowed yet? I'm gonna check the show but not tomorrow as not buying anything, as not a huge fan to be honest - but I've only seen his work on t'internet before now so not the best basis to form an opinion.
I do think though that the red bg street piece he did in London is the strongest thing i've ever seen from him, I know technically the way he draws is pretty much amazing but I think it's that twee tea-stained bg effect he's so reliant on, like when you used to make pirate treasure maps when you were a kid, that puts me off 99% of his work!! Great score for the north east though so defo won't miss out on a proper look..

Loads of classic POW and D*Face in the racks, and canvases inc Eelus and Eyesaw which couldn't even squeeze on the walls, it's like a street art Aladdin's cave down there! =]

BEWARE • Fake Invader Kits, by twist65 on Nov 11, 2013 19:25:22 GMT 1, what a clusterf**k. cant wait to go home and see if the invaders ive purchased are real/fake. just catching up on 4 pages of posts here, so apologize if i missed it...so the gallery has all the information on the guy that sold them the s**te invader's yea? so can we expect legal action here? im no attorney, but if orbi/invader cant even confirm/deny that once removed from original bag whether or not it's real or fake, then how could one even pursue this credibly? i hope we have more updates from the gallery as this all unfolds. I think basically its a case of - Orbi/Invader can tell whether the anti-static bag, and instructions have been faked, as they have done so here. They have no way of knowing if the actual tiles have been faked - but since the bags are fakes it stands to reason that the tiles in this instance are fake too.
And the big news for me is - if you own a legit kit and break the seal, there is no way of Orbi, Invader or anyone proving the tiles are legit or have been swapped with replicas. Plus they apparently do not keep records of who buys the kits so can't verify/authenticate addresses etc.
So - if you have bought any IKs and opened them to frame/display etc, they are effectively worth bugger all as no-one can prove whether the tiles are legit or not! If you've bought any IKs and left them sealed in a drawer or whatever then you're ok, although I'm not sure what "investment potential" they will now have since no-one can do anything with them..!
All well and good if you're selling them as a bit of fun at €100 or whatever, and people know what they are letting themselves in for. But to charge €750 for a piece of editioned art, clearly encourage the buyer to open the packaging and display the art via the instructions sheet, but fail to inform the buyer that by doing so you are effectively throwing your money down the drain, is in my opinion a complete joke. I love Invader and always viewed IKs as a great and reasonably affordable substitute for an alias. I preferred the idea of having half a dozen or so IKs dotted around the house rather than 1 small alias, and have never seen the point in buying something to stick in a drawer without opening it. I'm feeling pretty let down right now!

BEWARE • Fake Invader Kits, by twist65 on Nov 11, 2013 18:58:28 GMT 1, For all the reasons on the bag as mentioned on the thread, plus it looks like the instruction sheet on the fake is ink-jet printed and the legit is litho printed. What are the visual clues for this? the ink-jet one has slight "banding" across (from when the printer head goes forward and backwards across the sheet while it prints) and the black ink is less dense and solid than the legit instruction sheet, i'll scan both tomorrow

BEWARE • Fake Invader Kits, by twist65 on Nov 11, 2013 11:21:22 GMT 1, Yes good point floubi I agree with that too.
But if Orbi/Invader are saying that even by having this along with the original bag and receipt, once opened they cannot verify the actual tiles so the kit is effectively worthless, then despite loving Invader I seriously regret collecting these!

BEWARE • Fake Invader Kits, by twist65 on Nov 11, 2013 11:17:36 GMT 1, Am getting refunded on both fake kits, thanks to Stefano for alerting me about this and being a genuine guy, I feel for you fella this must be a nightmare for you. I think i'm going to email Orbi to clarify their stance on kits bought from source and then opened.. Had been thinking around the time of the last release that due to the increase in value of these kits that they really need to rethink how they do them..
Am getting refunded on both fake kits, thanks to Stefano for alerting me about this and being a genuine guy, I feel for you fella this must be a nightmare for you.

BEWARE • Fake Invader Kits, by twist65 on Nov 11, 2013 10:49:24 GMT 1, this is very disappointing news - especially since I bought 2 of the fake kits, 1 for a friend 1 for me.
I have a few kits and annoyed with myself for not noticing this earlier as I have just compared the 2 kits I don't have on the wall yet - a glow-in-the-dark kit from source, and a Hypnotic kit from 999, and its obvious that the Hypnotic is a fake. For all the reasons on the bag as mentioned on the thread, plus it looks like the instruction sheet on the fake is ink-jet printed and the legit is litho printed.
Stefano emailed me last night to alert me so have checked and read this thread this morning. lets see what happens next. Thanks to Json and Justdave for flagging this up.
The other thing that i'm confused about is Orbi's / Invaders stance on these once opened - I had planned to open my glow in the dark kit and mount/hang it before Xmas, obviously keeping the bag and my original receipt. Are they saying that by doing this my €750 purchase will be effectively worthless? If so I will not be happy in the slightest!!!
