Holiday gift guide: affordable prints
So maybe this is the first of a few posts with street art related gift ideas, maybe not. Here are some prints that are available online for a very low price (but they aren’t cheap. Right Zeus?).
1. Logopops by Sickboy. Last night was Sickboy’s one night only show, Logopops. Lots of hand finished prints are available online for as little as £35 (though you are meant to get a few of them to create a custom cluster of prints).
2. Storm Clouds by Jeff Soto. I must admit that I am becoming more and more of a Jeff Soto fan, especially the watercolor pieces. At just £75, it costs a lot less than I expected.
3. Sprout by Josh Keyes. I am very very wary of recommending this. Josh Keyes is an amazingly talented painter and I do like his work, but I’m not sure if you get the same feel for it through a giclee print. You kind of need to see the originals in person to see what sets him apart from all the other guys painting post-environmental-apocalypse art. Could be awesome though, and it’s a book and (very large editioned) print for $85 so that’s nice.
4. Tempo Boxer by Ace. A staple of the London scene (Blackall Street in particular), Ace does some nice work and a nice print from him goes for between £50-55.
5. Dalek Blue by Dalek/James Marshall. Dalek has two “Space Monkey” prints available on his site, both very nice, but I prefer the blue one.
6. Homeless, Not Hopeless by Above. I mentioned this print the other day, but it’s worth showing again because all the profits go to a good cause.
7. Better Than Nothing by Kid Acne. I suppose you either like his warrior women or you don’t. I do.
8. Make Room For The Emptiness by Jim Houser. This is the print that I want to buy with my grandma’s Christmas money. Love it. And at just $75, I can’t believe it hasn’t sold out yet.
9. Mama Quilla by Fefe Talavera. Another beautiful and affordable print from The BLDG.
10. The Answer by Hera. This lithograph by Hera looks great and comes with my book The Thousands: Painting Outside, Breaking In. It’s £100 for the set, and since the book retails for about £25, that’s an affordable print if I ever saw one. The print is of a sketch by Hera, and she really knows how to sketch.

The Answer by Hera
I’m not sure I’ve given this a proper mention on Vandalog yet. For The Thousands, Campbarbossa and I teamed up to create a special edition of The Thousands coupled with a lithograph by Hera of her sketch The Answer. The print is an edition of 100 and is of course signed by Hera. The print and book combo is available on the Campbarbossa website for £100.
One of these prints is already sitting on my desk I’m going to send it to the framers as soon as I get back from my vacation (which starts tomorrow), it turned out really well. Because it is a lithograph, it really looks exactly like a slightly scaled down version of an original Hera sketch, which are some of the best sketches in the street art scene (in my humble and clearly very biased opinion).
Always one to look for a bargain when it comes to prints, I think we kept this priced pretty reasonably. The Thousands is available for £23 from Drago, so if you were already thinking about buying a book, the print essentially costs less than £80.
Be on the look out in the next week or two for some Christmas suggestions for books and dvds that aren’t by me, but this is probably the best item to add to your holiday gift lists 😉
Once again, the book and print combo is available from Campbarbossa for £100.

Awesome new video from Above (plus a print)
Above‘s latest video is pretty sick. It’s called Reverse Psychology, and I’m still confused with what exactly is going on:
REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY from ABOVE on Vimeo.
Above says:
There are two sides to every coin, and we all know two wrongs don’t make a right but somehow when it comes to filming a video in reverse then reversing it, it makes total sense? Confused? Watch the video to get a better idea. If you still don’t understand, I can only suggest to try and watch it in reverse?!
The reverse side also has a reverse side. -Japanese proverb.
And it’s also time for another print release from Above. Today 4 new prints went on sale, all screenprinted and signed by Above himself. Each print is $45, or the set of 4 arrows together is $150. They are an edition of 100 each. The prints are for sale on Above’s website.
New Fefe Talavera print from The BLDG
This stunning print from Fefe Talavera goes on sale November 12th at The BLDG. The print, titled Mama Quilla. An edition of 100 and 22 x 30 inches, it will be priced at just $100. I’ll definitely be searching my house for the wall space to hang this.
Jim Houser
Tomorrow Jim Houser has a solo show opening at Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York, and next week he also has a beautiful new screen print being released by The BLDG.
From The BLDG:
This print, published in conjunction with The Jonathan LeVine Gallery, is entitled, “Make room for the Emptiness” It is an 11″x14″, 6 color hand pulled screen print, edition of 200 on 100% Cotton Rag Stonehenge paper. It goes on sale on www.BLDGrefuge.com at 11a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 29th for $75.
Great price for something so cool.
Also, check out this video of Jim working in his studio:

Faile print at Papermonster.net
Faile released this print today on Papermonster.net, but it seems to have sold out instantly. The print is edition of 300 and was priced at $350 each. This image is the same as the largest canvas at last year’s solo show in London.
Upcoming print from Hush
Still more than a month to go before Hush’s London solo show Innocence at Urban Angel, but already the images are leaking out. Here’s one of the prints:
