Damien Hirst bargain on ebay? fake?, by twist65 on Feb 25, 2016 22:13:59 GMT 1, Zippy is totally spot on. You can pretty much run any media on any high end machine nowadays. The Eyestorm prints were pretty easy to fake when they were released, and the way printing technology moves forward even easier today. If you are relying on a print having FCA on the back as your authenticity then good luck to you. I can see the attraction in the earlier spot prints but if I was buying another today it would be a low edition woodcut all day long, still available from source.

Potential new release, by twist65 on Feb 17, 2016 16:13:02 GMT 1, I love that, another great idea. Great title too.. Would have to pass on a print though! If I owned a bar or a sex dungeon or both I would get one though.. =]

nearly fell off my chair when I added to cart and didn't get the "sorry these are all in baskets" message... still after a ceramic but these are nice, proper metal sign not foamex, might stick it on the office door =]

Kaws โข YSP Yorkshire Sculpture Park 2016, by twist65 on Feb 8, 2016 0:28:46 GMT 1, Well what a great weekend that was. Made it a couple of hours before the talk so didn't get to see much before that, which was fascinating and as daniel3886 says he seemed to warm into it after the initial sound problems. Claire Lilley steered things really well and even publicly told him off for not answering emails! It really was great though, and I dread to think what time Kaws got finished signing whatever anyone seemed to put under him. The best part was today though and spending most of the day walking around - I thought the Kaws sculptures especially the 2 wooden ones were spectacular, and the Longsite Gallery worth the walk for the 5 large canvases alone. What a fantastic place in general though. Still have plenty of things to tick off the list. I think Sophie Ryders bunnies might be my favourites but there's so much to take in. Roll on some picnic weather so I can bring the kids!

AZA, by twist65 on Feb 6, 2016 0:28:55 GMT 1, I'm currently cutting out the stencils to do a 6ft Keep it Real mural. Not sure if the stencils will survive the piece so I'd like to do a version on a 2 metre tall canvas before I do the wall. This is going to need a pretty big wall to take it, one I don't have So just thought I'd throw it out there in case someone has the space and would be up for having one. Give me a shout if so, I think this will come out really nice Here is the mock up next to my normal version on a 90x60cm canvas. http://instagr.am/p/BAu8iqUBusZ That looks badass. You should do one on a shower curtain, would make an amazing shower curtain.. Keep it clean... =]

Kaws โข YSP Yorkshire Sculpture Park 2016, by twist65 on Feb 4, 2016 14:09:24 GMT 1, Has nobody noticed that they're all APs /50? Basically editions of 300 then. No artist needs 50 proofs. Just another manipulation of the price and perceived edition size. I love his work, but I think prices are being hiked up by the galleries that represents him. People are scared of missing out and keep buying, but I can see it going tits up at some point! I don't disagree with you on that, only time will tell I suppose on whether the way his prints are being priced is sustainable or not. And I agree that there is no real need for 50 artists proofs for any edition length, but at the end of the day most people would value an AP /50 higher than a regular print / 250 for any artist and I don't see Kaws any different. So recent Philips sales of regular prints can't really be used as a ceiling price for an AP. I think the YSP APs are pretty fairly priced all things considered. Not that i'll be buying one, if I manage to get a signed poster on Sat then I will be more than happy with that! =]

HELP WITH BAST HISTORY, INFO & BIOGRAPHY DETAILS, by twist65 on Jan 19, 2016 14:51:01 GMT 1, great thread and good to read that VAGA interview again. there might be something in the Faile Prints book as there was some pretty comprehensive background into Faile so there might be some mentions of Bast from the early days. I haven't got the Delux Fluxx book yet but might be summat in there too.. and trawling skinerjacks instagram is always a treat for eye candy!

Fauntleroy Snooty, by twist65 on Jan 14, 2016 15:38:47 GMT 1, In one way it proves how little skill and effort one needs these days to get ones name out there. To be fair I would say that putting together some freebies and travelling 100 miles to hand them out in a queue then travelling 100 miles home again is a pretty decent effort. Unless he was there for a Stik print anyway. Had I been in that queue I'm sure I would have appreciated it though regardless of whether I liked them or not.

World's Largest Banksy Exhibition to Date in Istanbul , by twist65 on Jan 12, 2016 18:07:54 GMT 1, I think its much more likely that Global Investment Holding have bought a large chunk of Laz's remaining Banksy collection and this was necessary to seal the deal, rather than any serious effort to contribute to Istanbul tourism. Quite clever the way they've been consciously uncoupling..
