Uh. My Juxtapose was $1000 from him.whatisbartfour wrote:$1000. That's crazy.
But kinda smart. He's pretty much cornering the flipper market. If he's all about profit why let people make dough on the bay when he can take all upfront. At $1000 how much more could people flip for? Not much...
Sold for $2,400 less than a year later.
I made a 1.4k profit.
140% profit in less than a year is rather good I'd say.
And this one looks better to me than Juxtapose IMO ...what do you think Otto?
Also prefer the portrait rather than landscape-shaped paper... Less wall space being used.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
Haha. Exactly. I wonder how many people bitching about MBW are just mad cause the band and movie posters they own aren't worth the paper they are printed on. Some MBW prints are nice. Some not so much. However, I never understood why people buy band posters or movie posters and then consider them valuable. You rarely if ever will see band and movie posters up for auction at real auction houses. Art galleries and real collectors know that. You will see Fairey, MBW, Banksy, Invader, KAWS. etc. Just consider the Carmichael or Hepner gallery in LA.sixstringer wrote:think of all the fairy tales, disney, sleepaway camp, apes, cowboys aliens posters your could buy 1k.
Nearly all movie and band posters are a waste of trees and ink. Art should make you feel something. I look at them and feel nothing.

Not sure if I agree with you totally there regarding gig postersmacboy wrote: band posters are a waste of trees and ink. Art should make you feel something. I look at them and feel nothing.
I don't see the purpose of an art and gig print being exactly the same- a gig print is purchased mainly as "I was there item" which has no relevance to an art print. While some gig prints are cool, not sure I'm looking to be "emotionally moved". A gig poster trophy- so to speak.
The exact reason I rarely ever purchase a gig print I don't attend- but there are exceptions, like that EMEK Black Keys master piece .....
Sperry Widespread posters don't move you?
Now movie posters... total waste of ink and paper

I agree 100%
Completely disagree with you heremacboy wrote:sixstringer wrote:Nearly all movie and band posters are a waste of trees and ink. Art should make you feel something. I look at them and feel nothing.
Many movie and gig posters DO make me feel something..we call them memories
When I look at a Stout Thing or Big Trouble in Little China print, I remember how awesome it was to see those films as a little kid and having a blast at the movie theater...same idea with gig posters that I have for shows I attended..they bring back great memories
Don't understand how you can call them a waste of paper as there are some amazing artists who make a living doing just movie and gig posters
The only thing I feel toward MBW, is how smart he is for creating hype for over priced and EXTREMELY unoriginal art
If you can cal it "Art"

Totally lame print, nothing we haven't seen before. Flippability, not so sure about though. Is this thing really gonna be worth over a G to people? I think not.WindyCityDMB wrote:I understand the ability to flip but not a fan of the print.

First of all, he isn't doing gig posters, so it's not a fair comparison for price or content. I hold him up against real art and good street art. He is neither. Sorry. Reusing worn out images and spray painting on them has no emotional value for me. Wouldn't want it displayed in my house. I agree that it's an amazing market and a piece of that is always nice. I guess if I were investing in art, I'd keep it in the closet for awhile to take advantage of crazy people down the road.macboy wrote:Haha. Exactly.

They do so much with just the notes that they have. I mean who does that? Who messes with that kind of stuff?
