NOT BANKSY STREET DROP

Not Banksy are at it again with a new website at http://notbanksy.co.uk/ and a London street drop of 100 not Banksy rat canvas(above) according to the website there is a Bristol edition dropping soon.
Phase 2 of the operation is to be unveiled on April fools day. I for one can't wait, I wonder if they intend to do a LTD edition with a 10foot tag over the top.

PAUL INSECT AT DJ SHADOWS HOUSE






I saw this on The Poster District and thought you may be interested.
"DJ Shadow's store recently did a massive storage clear out, and they ran across some very cool merchandise that has not been available for quite some time. Some of what they dug up is a small stack of the Paul Insect/Outsider prints, and decided to make them available. Better hurry, over to DJShadow.com before they are gone."
I checked it out and these are £104.84 each with shipping at £9.50. Signed by both Insect and Shadow with only Yellow and Orange left
Update: I just noticed Shadow also has a few Green Multiface prints in stock as well, same price.

NEW ??? 3D AT POW



P.O.W. have dropped a shed load of 3D prints over the past few days, blue versions of International Jihad, Unbelievable Truth, Reflected Jet have all appeared along with Blue and Red versions of Death Disco which may or may not be new, I myself knew nothing about this print beforehand.

DOLK GRENADE LOVERS

Handmadeposters are still threatening to drop Dolk's Grenade Lovers sometime this week.
It comes from an edition of 150, and measures up at 50cm X 70 cm.
This will be Signed, numbered and embossed, and cost £200, which is rather more than their other 1 colour prints. This will no doubt sell out in a few hours but then I suspect you may be able to pick one up at below cost on eBay after the hype has died down.

BIGCARTEL SHOPS

I thought it might be a good idea to do a bit on artists selling via their own big cartel shop. Grafter has been pretty good at using big cartel as a grass roots entry to his work. There are other artists that are more than just worth a look, so here is my small list of nice pieces I think are worth a wider audience.
Doc Art
£55
Giclee Print on 100% cotton 390gsm archival Canvas Stretched on to a Chunky 3.8cm Deep edged frame.
Size: 20x20inch Framed: Yes Title: Ready & Waiting EDT: 15 Signed & Numbered: Yes C.O.A.: Yes.

Lukedaduke

Boon
Molly £75
Acrylic, Aerosol, Gesso, Collage, Mixed Media Cardboard Size: Medium sized (not measured it yet, but would be around 40x60cm)

£60

Grafter
Sonny £200

If I have missed you out and you think you deserve a shout please let me know about your shop, it would be nice to do one of these things every couple of weeks or so.

NOT EVERYONE LIKES BANKSY SHOCK!

I got wind of this from Hooked and the Banksy Forum this is what hooked have to say:
"We headed up to Dalston's Gillett Square today, to snap one of the newest Banksy stencils. Having being up on the streets of East London for less than a week this is what we found this afternoon. The piece had been tagged up with " God, Love, Not Money"Hackney Co-operative Developments, who owns the leasehold of the building, were set to take legal action to stop the council cleaning it off. It is now very likely that this will now be removed now that its been tagged up. While this must be one of the shortest lived Banksy street pieces, some are happy to see it tagged up rather than it end up behind some perspex sheet"
