Bambi ๐ฌ๐ง Street Art โข Print Release โข Art For Sale, by twist65 on Sept 20, 2013 16:10:13 GMT 1, can't believe that to be honest, her own artwork is really good, way way better than what Bambi is serving up, unless she's being ironically shite as some sort of experiment or something.. More likely to be to be Susan Boyle and "fit" is a typo =]

Invader โข Glow in the Dark IK15, by twist65 on Sept 18, 2013 17:29:13 GMT 1, still think they're ยฃ100 too steep but went for one anyway - as I can't see a flipper doing me one for less than cost! Going in my little boys room as he loves our others and currently sleeps with the light on, so this may help us sort that out too!

Invader โข Glow in the Dark IK15, by twist65 on Sept 18, 2013 16:28:25 GMT 1, I actually thought IK1 was bigger but may be wrong. These will look really really good though and even though they are only a bit bigger than other kits its a fair point as you can pay a fair few quid more for an extra cm2 on an original! There are defo others with more (smaller) tiles though.
Resigned to missing the boat now and hoping to catch a panicky flipper with burnt fingers =]

Invader โข Glow in the Dark IK15, by twist65 on Sept 18, 2013 15:25:17 GMT 1, This. I say stay patient and sooner or later a flipper will be forced to sell at a loss. I'm sure Invader is crying tears at flippers losing money. Good for him for pricing it at the market rate. thats my point though - ยฃ630 is NOT the market rate when you can get (in my opinion nicer) IKs for a lot cheaper with a bit of patience. The market on them is very up and down but they do sell regularly for a lot lot less than this... I hope flippers do get burned and i'm sure i'll still be able to pick up other kits for way less than ยฃ630 in the future...

Invader โข Glow in the Dark IK15, by twist65 on Sept 18, 2013 15:13:03 GMT 1, I love Invasion Kits but that is way, way over-priced in my opinion. And agree that the signature is pointless and just encourages people to stick them unopened in a drawer which defeats the object.
In the last 12 months i've bought 2 on the secondary market for ยฃ450 each, and missed out on 2 on ebay, 1 that went for ยฃ300 and the other ยฃ330. Nice ones too. We all know that ebay Buy It Now prices shouldn't be used as a guage for price - well maybe Invader doesn't know that hence his new pricing policy...

DALeast ๐จ๐ณ Wuhan, China โข Street Art โข Based in Cape Town, by twist65 on Sept 13, 2013 18:11:19 GMT 1, DAL should exhibit at Rathbone place and not Outsiders in Newcastle. For me it sends the wrong message. On the other hand Outsiders in Newcastle is a cheaper gallery so hopefully I can pick up an original Can't agree with this, sorry. DAL may be hot property right now, and I can see why him doing Rathbone might give the perception he's still sky-rocketing, but Rathbone surely is more reserved for established names on the Laz roster? And considering Bast did a show there not too long ago, who has 50 times the pedigree that DAL can currently boast, I don't think you can really call it a cheap second tier gallery! Maybe his next show at Rathbone but makes sense to me that he would do Newcastle - maybe thats my north east bias though! =]

What art would you spend 5k pounds on?, by twist65 on Sept 13, 2013 16:54:29 GMT 1, a nice bast, put it down against something from the forthcoming Faile show, or a tasty Hush at pre Laz show prices! If I were spending ยฃ5k on a print would be a signed S&S or try for a small Bridget Riley mid 60's b&w but that boats probably sailed. Or I could buy the entire UK stock of Cambells warhol cans and never go hungry!

Andy Warhol ๐บ๐ธ Real or Fake? โข Sunday B. Morning Print, by twist65 on Sept 12, 2013 10:05:05 GMT 1, a few cans at 2 different north east tescos yesterday. none this morning and none at sainsburys either. so tescos defo have some, look like they're getting dripped out, obviously not a very quick sell-by-date/turnover item so might take a while!
PS have noticed that the US ones have ring-pulls and also a block on the label about 50 years of Warhol soup cans which the UK ones don't have, plus different bar code etc, so they are slightly different despite the label colours/design being the same.

'In From The Outside' - Urban Art Exhibition, by twist65 on Sept 11, 2013 10:19:46 GMT 1, Finally got a call back from Hartlepool Council yesterday - Logan Hicks is indeed doing a talk/lecture thingy at 1pm this Friday. It's free and a just turn up job.
Then he's painting a piece all day on the Sat so you're welcome to pop in and annoy him for a bit while he's cutting elaborate stencils! Should be worth a look =]

Conor Harrington book + print, by twist65 on Sept 5, 2013 0:24:05 GMT 1, judging by the vid i'd say the zine was A5 too. Unless Conor has seriously big hands and it's an A3 zine. Or really small hands and it's business card sized. hard to tell actually.

Dolk - Wildlife @ Galleri S.E. in Bergen , by twist65 on Aug 30, 2013 18:02:04 GMT 1, Why do Dolk fans take offence at people comparing him to Banksy? He uses the exact same medium, exact same colour palette, half his print releases even use the same background colours as previous Banksy prints. Oh, and a lot of his imagery/themes is the same too. Surely fair to compare the 2??

New Karl Striker Screen Print "In This Area", by twist65 on Aug 29, 2013 15:50:37 GMT 1, pretty sure the bobbies in Newcastle don't wear American uniforms, unless the one depicted by Mr Striker is actually off duty and appearing in a Village People tribute act. In which case he wouldn't be a stereotypical lookalike anyway.
Looking forward to the special edition with loads of coloured spots on it like what that Hirst bloke does though...

funny how mr insect doesn't seem to do loads of solo street work these days, but when he teams up with someone it's always great and often more interesting than his indoor work imo.

PROLE
Aug 15, 2013 14:27:58 GMT 1
PROLE, by twist65 on Aug 15, 2013 14:27:58 GMT 1, funnily enough saw a really nice Prole canvas the other day, can't remember what it was called though, so thats not much help..
Just pinched this biog off Eddie Lock's site -
The Name "Prole" comes from the word "Proletariat" that features heavily in 1984 . The proles in that year could have established a better world if they revolted....but they never needed to rebell against the system because all the proles cared about were films, football, beer, and the lottery, which were all provided to them by the state, rather like modern times. If only Orwell could have known how right on the mark he was. !
For Prole, printing and stencil work are much the same bedfellows, you make up an image with solid colours forced through an open mesh for printing and you do the same but using spraypaint and holes cut in card. " I'm a fully trained screen printer (large format, traditional hand, and textile) . A rt was always a part time hobby , until i lost my job at the end of 2008 due to the global down turn. The chance arose to do what i did and loved, full time "
Prole has exhibited at many urban / graffiti art shows including the red museum osaka and the bunkamura galley tokyo , both in Japan 2009. He now returns to the UK for "The Lock Up" off Oxford Circus, in London,
