Faile Artwork, VALUATION, by Cardiff on Jul 19, 2015 18:15:19 GMT 1, That's a beauty Behaviorist...still kicking myself for not making a run @ Zippy's Surfer Horse on wood a few years back. Always loved this image and that piece is an incredibly cool medium/execution!

Ian Francis original for sale, by Cardiff on Jul 19, 2015 14:25:19 GMT 1, I like that B/W piece a lot...I remember seeing an old article on arrested motion (I think) where they interviewed Ian and showed a number of his pics from his sketch book. Not that this piece is a sketch, but it reminds me of some of the work he was doing back then, which definitely opened my eyes to his sketches and B/W pieces.

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by Cardiff on Jul 19, 2015 5:59:29 GMT 1, Huge thanks to my wife and kids for this lovely Father's Day gift...I'm not sure if I should read into the "It is my heartfelt desire to improve but I never do" title.
I treated myself to the framing (tough to capture in a photo, but it has a small bleed through of red around the dots on the frame that really pulls the piece together).

Ian Francis | The Chosen Form of Your Destroyer | Lazarides , by Cardiff on Jul 12, 2015 14:52:32 GMT 1, Anyone check this show out in person? I wasn't over the moon about the majority of the imagery/subjects (although I loved Forest Fire Seen From Below). I also thought all three of the charcoal pieces were brilliant as well as one of the small pieces on panel that wasn't on the preview. I'd love to see pics on the wall and hear people's opinion if anyone was there.
Cheers!

Flipping Art โข The Debate, by Cardiff on Jul 7, 2015 21:18:52 GMT 1, I've been honing my skills as a "flopper"...buying pieces from flippers at the top of the market, tiring of them outside of the "heat of the moment" and then moving them along impatiently for 50% of what I paid. To add insult to my idiocy, I often frame said pieces in expensive frames which make them expensive/impossible to ship...AKA "Artchival Flopping". I apologize to all of you for feeding the animals.
The one positive of this approach is that when I sell pieces for 50% of what I paid, at least my wife believes I am recouping my initial investment (always tell her pieces cost 1/2 what they actually cost ).

Scott Campbell - Hit It and Quit It, by Cardiff on Jul 6, 2015 23:51:50 GMT 1, Would you (or any other forum member who feels the same) mind clarifying why you think so? Is it the laser-cutting technology that impresses? The design and composition of the piece? Or the expression "Hit it and quit it"? [I'll concede that does have a nostalgic Beavis & Butthead-style humour to it, like "Fรบck and chuck" or "Pump and dump", but for me it isn't amusing enough to hang on a wall.] If my tone comes across as aggressive, that isn't my intention. These are genuine questions because I'd like to understand. I myself don't really see the appeal of the artwork โ or, for that matter, most of Campbell's other laser cuts of US dollar bills. Fair question...honestly for me, I simply love the aesthetic of his work...always have. I love the 3 dimensional feel and have always read some humorous irony in destroying money to create something beautiful to be sold and bought for a large sum of money and then hung on the wall (actually sounds like a discussion I've had with my wife repeatedly over the years). In this case, I personally don't relate to the "Hit it and quit it" language and as a result, wouldn't necessarily want this on my wall either. Overall, I simply appreciate the way Campbell's pieces are executed and (call me shallow) love the way they look. Sorry I don't have a deeper, more meaningful response.

Ian Francis | The Chosen Form of Your Destroyer | Lazarides , by Cardiff on Jun 26, 2015 16:17:39 GMT 1, He isn't on the list of Gallery Artists: joshualinergallery.com/artists/I know Liner introduced a lot of new artists when he changed gallery spaces, and I haven't seen a Francis show for at least a couple years, so I assumed he was out of the rotation.
He may be out of the rotation, but last time I was in the gallery, Josh still had a number of pieces from the last show. Good luck w your search....absolutely love Ian's work!

WTB Charming Baker Half Pint NYC, by Cardiff on Jun 15, 2015 18:23:53 GMT 1, Iv asked about the condition of it several times and had no reply! I've done the same twice w/no response...assuming no response means that it is damaged or a very disengaged seller...either way, major red flags.

WTB Charming Baker Half Pint NYC, by Cardiff on Jun 14, 2015 20:39:38 GMT 1, Hi,
My interest in Charming Baker has been renewed and I'd like to get some of his work up on our wall. Looking for a Half Pint NYC. I originally bought one at release and then sold it below cost on this forum as it didn't really sit well in our house (excellent decision )...times have changed and I'd like to try to source one again.
I may also consider Half Pint Gold...let me know what you've got.
Best,
Travis

LF: Charming Baker - Cunt Struck, by Cardiff on Jun 9, 2015 16:36:40 GMT 1, I absolutely love this piece and think the messaging (as I've interpreted it) is pretty spot on. I was actually just reading the old thread about this last weekend and trying to process how I could get one of these on the wall. As strange as it may seem, I don't think my wife would have an issue with it philosophically. That said, I've come to the realization that there's no way we could introduce "c*#t" into my 4 and 6 year old's lexicon... I've got enough issues with them parroting the words I say around the house that are totally inappropriate, but not nearly as offensive as c*#t. Neil, I'm guessing your HM "This is where the fuck it's at" was probably a gateway piece to open the floodgates of profanity...congratulations in advance...love both of those pieces!

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by Cardiff on May 16, 2015 5:02:01 GMT 1, Every now and then a painting really catches my attention, speaks to me, and leaves a lasting impression. Toe Sucker (and chocolate girl) by Case were such apintings, and I was delighted to add Toe Sucker to my collection some time ago. Another was a portrait by Nathan Ford that I saw years ago on here, and never forgot. I have been lucky enough to add that to my walls too. Poor iphone pics do not do him justice. I've always thought the same thing about this piece...have loved it since the first time I saw it posted. Congrats on the pickup Coach...absolute stunner!

Matt Small new Show in L.A, by Cardiff on Mar 25, 2015 23:53:18 GMT 1, I love Matt's work, but based on the fact that I live in SoCal and haven't heard about either of his last two shows here until after they had opened (this one and the one at Merry Karnowsky a few years back), I'd say whoever does his promotion might be missing the mark. I will definitely try to swing by and check this out.
Becky's been hanging on our wall for a few years...
