Hmm
I'm a fan of Henderson Cisz. I have one of his prints in my room. I just like the picture as a whole, it's a New York one, I'd quite like to get one of his London ones. But they are expensive and I think I've used up all my important birthdays :p

Annoyingly I almost bought one of his "island" (not this one but similar) prints a while back but couldn't justify the £200 at the time, can I find anywhere to buy it from now? No. No I can not.

Oh if I had a free £1200
I'd buy this

There are many things I'd like to own
An original piece of art doesn't appear on the list at all.

Original art is very high on my list!
I live very close to here www.wills-art.com/ which is chock full of wonderful stuff that even with affordable in the company name I cannot afford!

I know it's an investment and all that
But it just doesn't interest me. Like I said, I like B&W photographs of natural settings (waterfalls, forests, beaches etc), but I can pick those up cheap in Ikea.

the investment thing is secondary, I love knowing that I have the only one of certain things, makes it special like

I think the appeal for original art is you know under the paint there will be layers of stuff that has been painted over
changed around and more of a depth to a real painting than you can ever get from a print.

I promise it won't ;)
There are some photographic prints by Rob Sheridan I'd buy. As for individuality, I have a NIN collector's boxset, signed, one of only 2,500. That'll do me.

Well I'm shocked everyone doesn't share my tastes and priorities.
I think this is the fault of them there forrins and as ssuch I am writing a letter to the Daily Mail right now

I quite like Vettriano's more pervy stuff.
The "Lovers and other strangers" series in particular.

Oooh they're lovely
I have something a little bit similar.

EDIT - I had no idea that was the same guy that did this, I saw this in the art shop back home and loved it to bits: this

I do like his London pieces.
I have a NY one (also I am vipros smug that I have print 1 / 195)
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:35, Reply)

you can be even more smug
because I really like his paintings and am envious

I am really pleased my Dad agreed to buy it for my 21st

I'm not surprised.
I'm pleased that we can bond over a shared appreciation of art

me too
next time I see you we shall get some wine and discuss ways we can save money to buy an original
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:57, Reply)

that sounds like an excellent plan

I need £4500.. dammit

Save yourself the cash
And just take a pic of the London Eye on your phone next time you walk by it.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 16:06, Reply)

The one I came close to buying was a London one
probably 6ft by 3ft. £1200

:-(
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 16:07, Reply)

That is insanely smug
and rightly so, I was just looking at that and it's lovely. I prefer Cityscape I though, and if I had the money I would buy it right fucking now.
(berk, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:43, Reply)

they look so good in the flesh as well
I did literally almost spend £1200 on a massive original one.

when they were that cheap. *grumbles*

I think I spent it on something I actually urgently needed

A facelift?
I hope you kept the receipt. You look like a baboon's scrotum.

Damn you
he's the only artist I can admit to liking

The mrs and I almost bought one of his massive paintings a few years ago, but decided against it. Now they are worth 3 times as much
