A hand finished prints from the show including MBW's iconic Tomato Spray Can, and 'Art is Not a Crime'!
Mr. Brainwash promised a free print to the first 300 people in line for 'Art Show 2011'. M&F went down and waited in line to score a poster, but after a lot of confusion the prints weren't ready opening night. A lot of people were upset that the prints weren't available at the show, but we think the wait was worth it.
Instead of just getting one print, the first 300 got mailed 2. The two prints just arrived. They are a smaller Tomato Spray Can with a hand finished spray and thumb print on the back, and a large print saying 'Art is Not a Crime'.
Mr. Brainwash recognized that the Tomato Spray Can is his biggest image. It is why he chose it for the show, and the reason is that he wanted to give something special back to LA. He didn't have time to hand finish the pieces before the show, which was the reason for the delay.
And the 'Art is Not a Crime' print is an awesome special bonus. MBW pulled M&F aside at 'Art Show 2011' and told us that the 'Art is Not a Crime' installation at his show was for the city of LA.
Thanks Mr. Brainwash! Stay up~
I got mine yesterday...Mr Brainwash came thru like he promised.
ReplyDeleteYeah but what happened to the Muhammad Ali 1/1 hand finished prints that were also shown and promised by Mr. Brainwash on preview night to the first 30 people in line?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have Brainwashs email address i havent recieved mine yet but my friends that were there have and another lives at the same address as i do! please post it thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI never even got an email, Went by to try and figure out what was going on. Saw several of his "employees" but they ALL said the dude who was in charge of it was not around...
ReplyDeleteOhh man I was stressing that mine weren't coming but I just got them late this evening. They look sick. It was worth the wait for sure.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't got mine...my wife got hers yesterday. I wonder if it matters hat we have the same address....
ReplyDeleteI just got mine last night, does anyone know the size of these prints? I need to get a quote from a frame guy.
ReplyDeleteThe guy in charge of the prints is slow and useless. Come on, it took him like 5 hours just to get the 300 names of the people in line. And now its taking him like 2 weeks just to ship the 300 prints. MBW really needs to take a closer look at his staff, they're the reason every Brainwash event is always a mess.
ReplyDeleteDude who cares if there was some mistakes and stuff. MBW put it all on for free. He leased that place for 6 months nothing was for sale. He pretty much gave the first 300 like 500 to 800 dollars worth of art. He then mailed it to all 300 for like 10 to 12 bucks a pop. He gave a shit ton of posters out everyday and he let artists put work in the show. He must of spent somewhere in the 6 to 7 digit area all for free no one should be complaining we should be thanking him for doing such a wonderful thing for Los Angeles
ReplyDeleteJust got my prints. My wife got hers a few days ago. Thanks MBW you earned my respect. And thanks to this blog for keeping us up to date on the situation!
