Kitty Riot has sold out?
hello
pretty pictures
cool slightly ever so slightly questionable
I like my one friend on skype to be impressed by the thought,I may in someway be down with the criminals
little kid criminals playing cowboys and indians
feel my edginess and coolness it manifests itself mainly in body odour and sweaty palms
But only for a week, because I've noted Teddy Riot is going for well above cost on Ebay so this will to. It's all too easy, all the dim fuckers buying into the buying into, before realising she was a heffer and I fucking hope I gave her a fake mobile number.
The people who bought these probably stare at their urban art screenprint collection of children through thick paedo glasses, and a bit of drool runs out of the corner of their mouths and down their chin.
ReplyDeleteall men are bastards
ReplyDeleteyou gave me a fake number, Cept stole my coat, and Sickboy shagged me out back by the wheelie bins and made me drop me chips
only RemiRoughDog treated me well. he spent his whole time on his knees, as if I was a god to him
at least I think he was on his knees...
As the non artist that i am, when i see that handmadeposters have sold ALL 250 prints of that Kitty Riot at a £175 it gets me thinking about how easy it is to make money with street art. There must have been a £100 clear profit on those prints - that's £25,000 profit on one image!!!
ReplyDeleteI could do that.
All i have to do is a visual pun/joke involving guns, the military, the police, a famous face, a few spray cans or even a monkey.
Then add a bit of paint splatter and Hey Presto i'm a genuine street artist.
In fact thats what i'll call myself - Hey Presto.
I can't be arsed to go outside cos its too cold, so i'll get somebody to wheatpaste it up for me. Then take a picture and post it to the blogs to drum up exposure, and then 2 weeks later i'll offer it as a limited edition print.
Easy money.
What do you think of my business plan?

ReplyDeleteThankyou for that little gem it'll keep me laughing to myself for a good few days.
P.S On the Dolk issue, although I reckon there are plenty of dolts who would buy this but who's to say they actually printed 250? All you need to do is say there was 250 printed and 250 sold thus generating an illusion of demand that drives an artists market.
For all we know 10 sold maybe a 100. You can never be sure.
It's not like a gallery/artist would do such a thing to push their sales?
I know I'm just a cartoonist and not a real street artist and so this is probably irrelevant, but I've never sold more than half a print run on any print, and that's on a print run of 25 over a two year period. And I'm sure my stuff has got to be better than a fake Banksy piece.
ReplyDeleteoh. now I get it. I need to start making pieces that look like a Banksy. THAT'S the trick.
and there was me thinking that this whole "250 sold" thing was a big fat fucking lie...
all you need is 250 idiots who can't afford Banksy prices.
I remember my illustration tutor at college telling us "If you can't get any jobs from your own illustration style, work out which illustrators are getting a lot of work and copy their style. You'll then get all the jobs they are too busy to do, or that they're not interested in"
I should have listened, I could be rich...
the reality of the street art business as presented through this blog is making me very happy that i AM just a cartoonist and not a street artist
