That is pretty cool...some fast shipping

you have confirmations in paypal? I dont yet... wondering if they are going to revoke the 2 extra I ordered...

[kantianallstar]

I ordered 2 pinks without seeing the note about only one and got a shipping confirmation last night. I was going to e-mail them about it but I got shipping confirmation so decided to wait.

I saw that Don't Be Cruel auction...Doubt it will get a bidder. 4.5k or so isn't going to happen yet for 10. She would be better served breaking them up and slowly auctioning them off for that amount.

[BigWhiskey]

Ill trade you my red and 200 for a pink if you get two. They were sold out when I tried for one

[DMB22JEEP]

We missed the 2,000th post in this thread... oh well... HAPPY 2010!!!!

[DMB22JEEP]

Can someone put The Wall on EB? I tried to and it didnt go...

[McGinnisM]

What's the price you'd estimate on these as far as trade value?0

[DMB22JEEP]

no clue - thats why I was looking for an EB listing.

[McGinnisM]

I wonder how much the lesser runs will fetch. Were the rest of 100?

[DMBTattoo]

Think we will have mee icons prints as we get closer?

[DMB22JEEP]

a few more Im sure... I'd love to get one with andy warhol, some nyc gangsters like Al Capone, Im sure we will get a Lennon tribute, possibly another 911 print...

[DMBTattoo]

I want that Chaplin one!

[DMBfan]

That Chaplin is great...

[MyPrint]

Where is this Chaplin image? Can someone post it or post a link?

[kantianallstar]

My brother stopped in at the gallery in NYC to check it out. Amazing in person but $50,000.

[kylep3]

LOVE this piece, $50 g's....damn, hopefully we get a print of it

[DMBfan]

wow, I hadn't seen all the new ones added

Me neither. Some good ones on there. I like the Bono and the Springsteen (2 of my top 5 favorite bands)

Lots of Icons upon eBay

[kantianallstar]

I'd like to see a pink or gold one pop up to see how much it'd go for right now without having to put one of mine up. Can't wait to see it in person, I love MBW prints. So high quality.

[MyPrint]

What la your guess on NYC prints? I'm guessing 3, I also wonder what will be available there.

[McGinnisM]

I'd like to see what gold would sell for as well. Out of 5 makes me wonder.

[DMBTattoo]

me too!!

[eschiff]

i still have my eye on that Life is Beautiful print...do you guys think that's well overpriced? Probably gonna go for around 2k on the bay.

[CBjornson]

I can't comment on the price too much because I'm not too familiar with Brainwash and pricing trends (outside of EB) but if you look at the past bids it went from $999 to $1850 because of a bid from a buyer with no feedback. It reeks of shill bidding IMO. Then again, the last one supposedly sold for $2400 on EB.

[kevflaherty]

I think a lot of the MBW stuff on ebay right now is really really overpriced.

2k for LIB is a lot. Sales were made under $400 for most of 2009. I guess that was then, and this is now. The last 4 have really went through the roof.

That being said, its an amazing print and I wish I had one!

[DMBfan]

pretty crazy.

[jiatlas]

got my shipping confirmation last night. cant wait!

I'm inclined to agree with you, but I do know that a lot of people are coming out of the woodwork to purchase MBW stuff...its possible you could have new ebayers popping up to buy stuff. having said that, i do agree, it looks shady.

[DMB22JEEP]

I've been watching 2 things over the last month...

1st - The number of hits this thread gets a day... slowly been rising from 100, to 150, now around 200.

2nd - The number of items being listed on ebay. A while back it was only 15 or 20 then 30. Last month it was only about 45 and now we have about 60 as of last night.

The only thing I can track is how many ebay listings go unbid. Thats why EB needs to have a chart overlay with red dots of ebay listings that go unsold. Thats the missing trend.

GTG - back to monitoring MBW chatter... :shifty

[eschiff]

ah, that's interesting statistics.

He's getting a lot of press because of the NYC and London shows, the LA show was a hit as well. You just never know when a artist is suddenly going to break into the mainstream. This poster could go for 2k tonight, and either 4 or 1 a year from now. But it is a sweet print.

and others are right, it does kinda seem like shady bidding. I know i had emailed the guy about the print and he said he had gotten a lot of offers so wanted to repost it (originially there was a buy it now, forget for how much, wish i had jumped on it though!).

Really torn, art pricing is such a touch and go thing. I guess we'll see how drunk i am when the auction ends tonight...

[eschiff]

Pre-show price, or post-show price? Which is more?

[kantianallstar]

Pre-show price, or post-show price? Which is more?

This guy really intrigues me.

Definitely post-show for the rare ones. It'll depend for the other ones- if a lot of them were bought just to flip, there may be too many floating around to ever drive the price up further. That won't be a problem for the 5 golds or 15 pinks though.

[McGinnisM]

What if more are released at the showing though? How's that change things? Runs of under 50 freak me out because I always think there is demand for a rerun or offsets.

[dmbforever]

Pre-show price, or post-show price? Which is more?

This guy really intrigues me.

I'm not an art guru, but I think it could go either way. Could "hype" up the pre-show price, as well as drive the price up after (post-show).

He's definately different, and I am starting to get into some of his art work.

I really like the SW Reunion. I wish BW would have gotten that 1 of 1. Would have loved to see pics.

[DMB22JEEP]

A. (500-750)
B. (750-1000)

Gold will probably be C then D after the show
Pink will probably be B before the NYC show then C/D after
The other 4 will probably be A before and A/B after

Glad to see more people are getting turned on to him!

No, I never got one. The canvas' were way too steep for me.

[dmtr]

The non-canvas Bowies are still available for $1200. But they are HUGE.

[kantianallstar]

Which canvas version? The ones on his website were just screen prints I believe.

Nah, they've been sold out for a little while now.

[kantianallstar]

I saw that last night. I can't imagine someone paying close to his asking price. Maybe $200 tops?

If the Mona was screenprinted it would be. A cheap, thin stock promotional copy that has creases in the image area just isn't worth much. What would you do with it? The creases are really obvious since its such a thin stock.

Maybe I am wrong though if someone wants to collect it just to have it. I have to assume it may be made into a screenprint into the future, much like World Class ones were given before the screenprint was made.

Seriously what do you expect? The people behind MBW are a serious operation, very busy and not a joke!
People stop deluding yourself thinking that the artist sits on his bum all day waiting for us to come up with lame ideas to commission. If you really love the work and not the money it brings from flipping them, then you would not even be thinking that way. There are plans for a ton of work to be displayed in the future, I think trying to commission a Dave Matthews Band portraiture is not in the uppermost of his mind at this point. :christy

I could be wrong but the last time i checked MBW is a business and a brand name. I emailed him with a business opportunity and expected some kind of a response. i wasnt being a dick and it was a pretty long email explaining what i was looking for. I dont think that i would expect someone to email me back after saying hey will you paint this for me but if i where an artist and someone put some time into a proposition i would look at it and at least say sorry i am very busy right now. Lame? I think if he did a Dave poster it would probably be a little more collectable than a run DMC or kanye print. Why would I email him about a commission if i didnt love the work. Do you think i would honestly pay to have him do that then turn around and sell it?

[savana]

Cool. fair 'nuff. Maybe I was a little harsh, maybe you'll get a response in time. Now let's spread the love around! ;D

[BigWhiskey]

ya man i am not mad at you. It just that after the keeping my grand for almost a month and not giving me an update on whats up kinda set me off. Also the whole commission thing blew my mind. They respond almost instantly on anything else. Ok ill shut up maybe someone else should try and see what happens

[DMB22JEEP]

I was thinking about the NYC print while I was out last night... You have to give it up to them for creating a print that has something for everyone! I know I said it before but a print run of 320 with variants at every price range to appeal to every type of collector... pure genius! So much better than if it was just one print with a run of 320... awesome! Im excited to see more! Anyone get the nyc print yet? post pictures!

[BigWhiskey]

i think mine showed up yesterday...i am waiting for the leasing office to open at 9 to go grab whatever came from UPS

[sobriquet]

I could be wrong but the last time i checked MBW is a business and a brand name.

The value of his brand in more important than the sale of one OG or one print run. Even though I'm sure a DMB print would sell out with quickness, I just don't think it fits his brand, the majority of his fanbase or his prior work.


i wasnt being a dick and it was a pretty long email explaining what i was looking for.

Brief e-mails to busy people/studios are more likely to get a response.

That being said, I'd love to see you get what you want. Just don't think it will ever happen. Also not trying to be a dick, just a pragmatist.

[BigWhiskey]

Nah, they've been sold out for a little while now.

GONE!? I was going to go today but the storm made me change my plans... I would of expected it to be there at least 2 weeks...

[dmtr]

They were lying and or exaggerating about most of the stuff being gone. TONS of stuff there. I didn;t feel comfortable pulling out my bb and taking pics but definitely some cool stuff to see. I did notice that on some of the high dollar pieces like the canvas Legend and triple bowie image piece that the paint appeared to be cracking due to thick application. The Yes We Can looked to be identical to the image of the limited edition print except that it was on canvas as did the Superman Obama. Other notable pieces were the Love is the Answer 1/1, a cool looking chocolate vandal 1/1, and a sick Disorder 1/1 (in the stairway if you goto the Gallery). It looked like the MJ record piece was sold and maybe the Kurt Cobain piece (since it was downstairs on the floor), but everything else looked to be on the wall and for sale. I didn't ask about any prices. I'm not a huge fan of the Charlie Chaplan LIB like others are. Also looks like MBW did a lot of writing and personalizing on the back of the pieces on top of the normal thumbprint and date.

[BigWhiskey]

thats awesome i wonder how much the 1/1 on paper are? Great info man and thanks for sharing

[budichfan]

Perhaps I misunderstood the previous posts, but when a work on display in gallery is sold it remains on display until the show is over. Afterwards it is shipped to (or picked up by) the buyer. The waiting is worst part!:hysterical

Please forgive me if I am telling you what you already know. I doubt they are lying or exaggerating any sales.

It was implied to me when I spoke to them on the phone that it may not be worth my while to come down because so many pieces have been sold. Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought she meant nothing would bnot as many pieces would be on the walls. She could have very well meant, "you won't be able to drop $50k on as many pieces because most have been sold"...in which case I understand and giggle.

:popcorn Your all good here.. http://www.daveposters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4887

Thanks guys for the heads up.

I had traded him three prints for four of his. I had two One More Chance's- a mint one and a near-mint one. I accidentally sent him the near-mint instead of mint one. Once he PM'ed me, it was an easy fix. I am just mailing him the mint one Monday and paying him to ship the other back.

Not a big deal but he had to go and make a thread about it instead of just PM'ing me first. Kind of annoying- he is so quick to create a thread versus waiting to PM me but not so quick updating the thread that it has been resolved. But it is all taken care of now.

And I am getting my NYC prints this week along with a LIFE and Montana. So, it'll be a good MBW Christmas week for me. :sadie

[kantianallstar]

Oh, and I am looking to trade my extra MBW Star Wars print. I am ideally looking for a Legend or maybe a Don't Be Cruel. I am open to almost any MBW not in my collection though.

I possibly have a Red Hitchcock and Love is the Answer for the right trade too.

Is it not a given that EB tends to be a little pretentious? Maybe they should spend some time here at DP and lighten-up a bit. Merry Christmas, kantianallstar - don't let one DB at EB ruin your week.

(PM coming on MBW Star Wars)

[TDunk]

wow i just read Bandana's retort...seems a bit dramatic. I can see each of those things happening, but he views everything as the worst thing in the world and as if someone was out to fuck him over in the worst way.

Basically if you want to take the drama out of his post: Kantiana shipped a bit later than he did, not a huge deal. And he put the wrong print in the tube, but has admitted the error and is doing what he has to do to fix it.

Sounds like a decent transaction.

[DMBfan]

I could see being upset about the damaged print, especially with the prints he traded. But he should have dealt with it through pm's, and not let the eb chatterboxes attack. That wasn't cool.

[DMB22JEEP]

kantianallstar = good guy - end of story

I think it's kind of silly...they're just cheap, mass-produced postcards.

Guess people referring to them as prints or "Postcard editions" on eBay helps them sell.

That being said, I've got a stack of them...hmmmm.

[kantianallstar]

Thanks guys for the support. EB is like Lord of the Flies over there. Within an hour of reading his PM, the issue was resolved and I'll end up paying about $70 in shipping to do it. Which is no big deal, since it was my fault.

It wasn't shipped late, USPS just didn't scan it until it left the country. So, it didn't show up in the system the day I mailed it but the day it left the country.

And yeah, I am hoping for a new MBW print soon.

[DMB22JEEP]

that's crazy...I think I have one.

Yeah, I threw out a Hershey 2006 but didn't get much interest either.

[dmtr]

I would think either of those two DMB posters should get some interest (but I guess a MBW collector would also have to be a big DMB collectors as well). You can probably sell either of them for some decent cash to purchase a MBW print you want to get.

We may have already done this, but lets play a game called, "List all of the MBW pieces you own and whether or not they are for sale or trade". I've got:

Le Bistro
Obama vs. McCain - For Trade
Love if the Answer (unsigned)
Star Wars Reunion
Legend (Dark Brown)
Live Life to the Fullest (Gold)
Vintage Lennon - For Sale
The Wall - Icons (Green)

What about you guys?

[kantianallstar]

Cool idea. I have mine separated into for trade, never for trade, and not looking to trade but not untouchable depending upon the offer. If that makes any sense at all.

For trade:

Star Wars
Love is the Answer (since I have an extra)
Afterthought

Never for trade:
Life is Beautiful
Follow Your Dream
Le Bistro
Mona Lisa Barcode
World Class (free edition)

Not actively seeking a trade, but not untouchable:

Two's Company
Surreal Dali
Ben Franklin
Red Hitchcock
Blue Hitchcock
Run DMC
Connecting Lennon
The Wall (Gold, Pink, Blue)

I think that is all of them. And more coming this week, including Montana Paintball, LIFE, Bowie, and others)

[dmtr]

For any of you who haven't made it over to the DMB poster section of these boards today, there is a ridiculous sale on 24 x 36 portfolios (perfect for storing most MBW prints) at Jerrysartarama.com. They are offering 60% off, plus another 15% off with the coupon code: D2M1. The promotion ends today.

https://www.jerrysartarama.com/discount-art-supplies/Portfolios-and-Presentation/Picturesque-Presentation-Cases.htm

I got the portfolio and the 5 page extra insert, with shipping it came to $141. Crazy deal.

[kevflaherty]

Sorry man, the Legend is framed and hanging proudly on the wall, and I happen to really like the Heart Dog. I could not find one so I emailed MBW and they said they had one to sell me. I think they were a real bomb as far as sales are concerned

[BigWhiskey]

I am gonna snag one of those portfolios tonight. Thanks for the info Corey. Hey jeep are you trading or selling the obama

[kantianallstar]

Did you e-mail them recently? I'd love to get my hands on one.

The Legend is great, I just don't know what color to get. I am thinking Pink but just to be different. They all look really good.

[McGinnisM]

I got a similar deal on those portfolio's last year, I love it. Works great.

[DMB22JEEP]

Nah, the email was over the summer, maybe July. I was surprised when they said they had one.

I didn't know what Legend to get either when they dropped. Decided on Yellow as I liked the blue spray on the yellow. Second choice was Grey

[kylep3]

if anyone has any Brainwash they are willing to trade take a look at my small collection and see if any combination of prints interest you in a trade, my ISO on EBeans shows what I'm looking for, just don't have the dough to buy any right now. thanks.

[dmtr]

The deal with Heart Dog, IMO is that when they didn't sell MBW pulled them and held onto/destroyed them. I didn't want it when it came out, but when MBW started to blow up I decided to email them about it (maybe a month ago). They said they had no more.

[BigWhiskey]

I am going to be trying to get an original next year from McCarthy danger handiedan or a 1\1 brainwash. That is my goal

[dmtr]

dang - sweet price - this is before the 15% off!
http://www.jerrysartarama.com/discount-art-supplies/Studio-Furniture/Flat-Files/Mayline-Flat-Files/Mayline-7867-C-Steel-Flat-Files.htm

Still too much money. I'll wait for a garage sale.

[BigWhiskey]

I want to know when his next release is. that Chaplin needs to come out soon

[dmtr]

I am going to be trying to get an original next year from McCarthy danger handiedan or a 1\1 brainwash. That is my goal

admirable goal. I;d say you're likely to make it happen.

[BigWhiskey]

:) If what I pmed you about happens I am going to count that as a half original

[McGinnisM]

I just went to UPS to check shipping on my Icons. They told me that they doubt it's even left LA yet, because nothing has updated in their internal system. Likely that the delivery date was based upon when the label was printed, not actually dropped off.

Who knows, but I was expecting delivery today and it didn't happen.

Ahh, well.

great price on those compared to normal. personally I think they are WAY overpriced still, especially considering you have to buy more inserts.

Other companies 18x24's cost half this sale price (like 35 bucks, I'm sure many of ya have them) and come ready to hold 40+ prints. Since they are the only game in town making the larger size I guess we can't complain :bang.

personally, I'm going to hold out for a flat file in the near future.

I use the 19x25 alvin print protectors for most of my dmb stuff but the MBW stuff I have in BIG sleeves which are stacked in a corner. So for $141 I can store all my MBW stuff safely with plenty of room for another 10+ MBW prints. No brainer for me, but I guess it depends on what you need it for. I don;t think a portfolio this size a good idea if you want to store DMB prints unless you;re gonna spend the time to mylar corner every poster. To your point on the flat file, you;re gonna have to put them all in sleeves (if you havent already) before you shove them in the flat file anyway.

I pay $9 for a double sided sleeve with acid free divider (for the 19x25s) so ten 24x36 sleeves and the portfolio for $141 seems reasonable to me.

[BigWhiskey]

uploading pics if someone will help me out and photobucket them

[BigWhiskey]

so i just took these really quick and it is flattening now. NO that isnt how i flatten posters and It was just to get the pics really quick this thing has a ton of detail in the background there is stuff everywhere

[McGinnisM]

Email them to my username at gmail.com and I'll post them for you.

looks dope! I can't wait to get mine so I can actually check out the detail.

pretty close to what I was expecting by the looks of yours though

[BigWhiskey]

i dont know if the black paint is on all of them but it wasnt on the website. Let me know when ou guys start getting yours

I agree... never been a fan of the portfolios even for my own art work. I have a 64" flat file (a monster) at work and in the drawer I have a 40 page portfolio with student work... Open the bottom drawer and you can flip the pages... fool proof but over time the pages get ware marks on the and the art rubs and moves every time you turn the page...

[BigWhiskey]

Just so everyone knows.. I sold alwaysax on EB my LIB and he flips them. He is trying to search for another one. If you want to trade or sell to reputable people and someone gives you a sob story about how they NEED it thinks twice and sell for the highest offer. I look for the good in everyone and i guess it is easy to get taken advantage of in this business

[DMBfan]

Wow, didn't he pay a lot for it to begin with? Not picking sides but...

[DMB22JEEP]

All I got to say is if someones the highest offer - then a day later they get a higher offer and sell it - so what. If you offered him a deal and then he flipped it thats d!ck...

[TDunk]

Wow, didn't he pay a lot for it to begin with? Not picking sides but...

sounds like he paid under market value because of a sob story.

[budichfan]

sounds like he paid under market value because of a sob story.

He assigned a price, we all read about it here and on EB (http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=43764&p=619408&hilit=+brainwash+LIB#p619408), it was sold and then resold for a beautiful profit.

Life is Beautiful.

Out flipped, case closed.

me again, just want to make sure i get a chance to buy this!

http://forum.expressobeans.com/images/smilies/violin.gif

money is waiting...

my fiance and i have been collecting art together for a while, i have purchased le bistro in the past and she has bought 33rd street. they are hanging in our living room of the house we bought together a couple years ago. (just a little west of the city, close to the water) and now (although this is supposed to be a secret) i have been planning to buy the print life is beautiful and propose to her with it. ever she has come into my life it has definitely been beautiful!!

please help me make her happy

i would offer for you to be my best man if it clinched the deal

cheers http://forum.expressobeans.com/images/smilies/clap2.gif

[TDunk]

outflipped? yeah

is the buyer kind of scummy for throwing out this story and then flipping it? yeah

[DMBfan]

Ah, yeah...that doesn't make him look to good...Maybe his lady said no, lol...

[DMB22JEEP]

I didnt know Russell flipped art!



(anyone watch Survivor?)

[budichfan]

1st come, 1st served

If he wanted a highest bidder:

1- Do not set a price.
2- Put it on fleabay.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Don't+Hate+The+Playa%2FPlayette+Ha te+The+Game

[kantianallstar]

No Survivor for me.

Flipping after a sob story like that is pretty crappy. I think there is a distinction between paying a premium, seeing the value rise, and then selling versus going all out on a story like that and then flipping.

Edit: where did he sell it? Was he that guy on Ebay?

Im not going to pretend to know the whole story, but from what i have read i agree.

If a price was set and it was sold it is the new owners right to tear up and defacate on the print just as much as it his right to resell it.

Granted, if i were to do that, i wouldnt use a story like that to better my chances of obtaining the print, but some people are just shitbags.

After a trip to the convenience store one time a dirtbag college roomate of mine left me with some words of wisdom after spilling 44 oz. of fruit punch on my tan colored interior (with a southern twang) "you win some you lose some". the asshole didnt even try to clean it up, man did i hate that kid.

sorry that happened to you whiskey, you were trying to do a good thing. But you got the price (i assume) you were looking for, just count the rest as unneccessary BS.

[DMBfan]

here, here

Sellers remorse is hard to swallow sometimes

[BigWhiskey]

Ok the deal is this. I did set a price and really wanted to sell it to someone that appreciated it as much as I did this guy had a good story and I thought I would be a nice guy. I had people telling me they would go higher and pay more than my highest offer. I really wanted to honor the price and I thought I was doing he right thing. He Sid it would be framed fast and even sent me a picture of his supposed 33rd street it would go next to. I hve no problem selling it for 700 and would do it again. now that I know what I know though I will never hook up someone I don't know again. Ill take the higher offer and not think twice about it. He won't even leave me feedback in EB he ignores me. I like most everyone here but I see how far some people take this stuff. This site is so much better than EB

[kantianallstar]

This site is so much better than EB

Agreed.

And the thread just got bumped...

[DMBfan]

I will be away when my print is delivered tomorrow, does anyone know if they require a signature of do they just leave tubes...It is supposed to rain, I really don't want my LIFE print ruined...hmmmm

[kantianallstar]

[kantianallstar]

33rd St up for 1.25k at EB. I am still really hoping to snag one in the 800 range. That is a lot of cash.

[dmtr]

33rd St up for 1.25k at EB. I am still really hoping to snag one in the 800 range. That is a lot of cash.

Damn, why, why did I sell my 5/5 for $1000?

[kantianallstar]

Damn, why, why did I sell my 5/5 for $1000?

Yeah, unfortunately that is probably on the low end for a x/5 PP edition today. I don't think he will get 1.25 though for it. I could see 800-1k today. Who knows though, it is a great print.

[DMB22JEEP]

Damn, why, why did I sell my 5/5 for $1000?

I remember 5 weeks ago when you sold it.... I remember thinking "$1,000 OMG! LUCKY SHIT!!! GOOD FOR HIM!!!"

A lots happened in 5 weeks...

ok maybe it wasnt 5 weeks ago... 4?

[BigWhiskey]

i remeber when he pmed me and said $450 i passed. I wish that this was on my wall LIB LE bistro and 33rd street would have all been mine at that time. But i am glad i didnt. I would rather see a friend get the money for that one

[savana]

The 33rd Street print on EB has now gone.

Pollock up for $1500.

The tipping point is near...

[BigWhiskey]

hmm a pollock for 1500? Crazy i was thinking around 600

[dmtr]

I really like the pollock, just didn;t have the cash when it originally dropped. Now its probably out of reach cash wise unless I trade for it. Anyone want to work out any trades (i posted my MBW list in this thread recently). Let me know.

[dmtr]

So when Legend came out I got two dark browns. I kept one and mailed the other to my dad for his birthday (or was it father's day?). So I decided to use AF to frame it for him for Christmas. I took the standard brainwash dimensions off of EB (22 x 30) and ordered the frame with the intention of floating it over a black acid free mat. Well, Legend is 22.5 x 30, which threw off all of my planning. It still looks good, but I couldn't float it. I'll post pictures later.

[BigWhiskey]

aww man that sucks i hope it turns out nice. You could always take it in to the frame shop and have them cut it

[BigWhiskey]

I know that you guys have seen this one before but i had to get some better pictures. This piece is great

[dmtr]

I know that you guys have seen this one before but i had to get some better pictures. This piece is great

Looks great Tony. I would spend the time to really get the framer to match that blue and then put some kind of black frame (maybe ornate?). Post up the pics when you get it up on the wall.

[BigWhiskey]

I dropped off my first love the other day but this will be next i have a foil print coming though that i want to see first. How would you match that blue though?

[dasmitty11]

I dropped off my first love the other day but this will be next i have a foil print coming though that i want to see first. How would you match that blue though?

did you get that from the guy on eb?

and pictures of fake love when you get it back...have that and love hurts sitting waiting for a frame.

[BigWhiskey]

No i missed the hand finished one and a guy sold it to me for cost. The foil is from jermaine? I dont really know which one you are talking about. I should have it back framed on the 4th

[DMB22JEEP]
