I just started collecting art about 5 moths ago and have about $175,000 into it. I really enjoy the hunt and how these pieces look on the wall. I guess the art nerds on this forum are intimidated by a buyer with a huge bankroll. Its seem like there a just a few that constantly harass me here but for the most part I have enjoyed doing business with many many of you. I have recently got into MBW 1/1's and Fairey HPMs. These are much easier to obtain directly from the artist rather than haggling with you "flippers". Nothing in my collection is for sale, I only do trades.
i was away for a few days, now just seeing this. hey a deal is a deal, but i dont think anyone is mad that you have "175k into this" or whatever, but playing dumb ("i dont know this artist, i think my son might like it"- really?) to get a better price when you now say youre bankrolling a gallery is pretty scummy. id like to think theres still a fair bit of real art fans and not just those exclusively coming here at the sign of $. oh well, live and learn i guess, no one put a gun to my head to sell anything and shame on me for believing a stranger on the internet. do you actually have a son btw?

Keep in mind that the kids rarely exist and the various ailments (cancer, etc.) always seem to be a ruse in the long run. Not always, but most times :wink:

I had no idea who that artist was until I paid you $400 for the print, peaked my interest and dove little deeper. I have been in communication with PEZ and even though he speaks French his english is not too shabby. I now have several of his HPM's so if you would like yours back I would be more than willing to send it back to you. I just got my first commissioned piece from PEZ for valentines day for my wife. It is a one off unpublished sketch.

And yes I have a son but you cannot have him too.

Hahaha, the only bracelets I have were sent to me by Mr Brainwash. He sent me all of his t-shirts and they came in cool spray cans. Included with the t-shirts he sent, were 2 bracelets and two stickers per can. So to answer your question $0.

I just received my tube form Mr Brainwash. I am bummed a little, no lithos and no hand finishing. I am quite sure wifey will like this print though.
Here are a few quick photos
