Been meaning to update... these are the last purchases (ET,Locust Plague & Circus) for a while (unless i can get hold of something by NW ) 'Mona Simpson' - Nick Walker. 'Vandal' - Nick Walker 'Knickers' - Nick Walker 'Apish Angel' - Nick Walker 'Baby Moll' - Nick Walker 'Untitled Original Canvas' - The Yok, the misses's favourite.. Love this guys work, nothing political. got this for $270 from a guy in Potts Point, bargian. Its 1.7m tall couldnt fit it in the car... check his stuff on flickr 'Right Hand Red' - Static.. next to be framed... 'Sunset Apartment Complex' - Logan Hicks 'Kate Moss' - Wrongwroks 'Here's Jonny' - Space Invader 'Is there anybody out there' - K74 'Jesus Shaves' Sixten 'Storm Pooper' - Teves 'Locust Plague' - Logan Hicks. I sold the MBW 'Elvis' to buy this, its my favourite piece by Logan, the Original was in BRP last Summer. 'Circus' - Dolk. This girlfriend loves this, so it looks like its next to be framed before Locust and the Static.. 'ET' - Harmony Korine (Beautiful Losers). This was nearly the first piece i ever bought. So i have been waiting to get my hands on for a while.

Gadget,
Spoke with Nick about the whole BRP thing and he was totally lost for words at the reception that the work got. As you know, he's a humble sort of fella and to see people sleeping on the street in the cold to buy your work has got to be a strange feeling. You should have bought the Headless Astro mate ! Damn fine piece if I say so myslef !!
Yes, the rugby. Had the pleasure of watching the game with my Welsh mates ...please don't mention England V All Blacks ....it'll all be ok by the time the next World cup comes round I'm sure

yeah Nick's a good guy, wander when his next show will be?? probably New York, take a while to prepare though for a show like that. My misses has never been to NY either so i could cheekly book a trip to coincide with the show .. Also on Logan Hicks blog - he's got a huge show coming up next yr over there also, love that guys work aswell... Yeah the WC is 3 yrs away so by then Wales will be shite again and Engerrrland would have picked up no doubt!! cant belive they got smashed 3 time in Twickers though!!! (I was smiling a bit writing that mate!!!) Yeah i noticed you own the headless astro, nice piece one of my favourites..Apart from the TMA's i like Cant be too careful, wouldnt mind that in a print... anyway hope your well catch ya later..
