Static have very recently released five brand new (and very impressive) original's, most of which are available to buy right now at Amilas Art. Here's what they have to say about the new series of pieces entitled "Decadence":

Decadence comments on the debasement of a country's vital resources and the pilferage rife in the midst of political conflict. We witness the bloody exchange of sanctified human life in return for revered wealth. All unique pieces on various mediums.

The titles of the new pieces are "Chinook on a Pedestal 1", "Chinook on Pedestal 2 ,"Decadent Army 1" (which is reversible), "Decadent Army 2" and finally "Decadent Army 3". Prices start at £440, buy them here.

StupidKrap Update (Including Anthony Lister, Ben Frost, Kill Pixie)

"Yes Everything" by Kill Pixie

Everybody's favourite urban Australian printhouse sent out their January newsletter today, for those of you not on the list (which you should be, sign up on the site) here's a brief update on what's what. To start, Ben Frost has two new prints on canvas: "Babyshambles" and "Nevermind the bombings" are available right now for $300 by clicking the aforementioned titles. Also newly released are two new pieces by Kill Pixie (Yes Everything [image above] and A.OK). Both are editions of 35 and both cost $120AUD, you can buy those here. Last but not least is a new set of prints by Numskull which cost just $75AUD each and are tiny editions of 25 (see this link to buy).

Mentioned in the mailout was that Anthony Lister has two new prints coming in late February. Both are undoubtedly going to sell out incredibly quickly if past prices/edition sizes are anything to go by so be sure to sign up to the preorder list by dropping them an email (preorder [-at sign-] stupidkrap.com).

Bast Site Update

At ~2am GMT last night Bast resurrected his site and bought a few new prints along with it. Available to buy are a few versions of "Cheap and Dirty" (b&w $1000, colour $3500) and star of the show "Trash & Royale" which you can see above. While even Bast himself considers it to be his best print yet, the edition-of-43 print certainly isn't cheap at $1500. Click here to browse his shop, don't forget Bast as a show at the Leonard Street Gallery coming this week.

Dave Kinsey: Two Prints and a Book Coming Soon

After a brief silence the Dave Kinsey shop is back in action with two brand new pieces scheduled to be released within "the next two weeks". No details on what they will look like, I suggest you sign up to his newsletter to be given the heads up before they're dropped.

Also announced is a brand new book entitled "Sure, Why Not" (the cover of which can be seen at the top of this post). The 56 page hardcover is a limited edition of 1500 and will be available here come January the 20th.

"Vote" by Shepard Fairey

The next Shepard Fairey piece scheduled to appear on the Obey Giant site has been unveiled and can be seen above: "Vote" is the name, "vote" is the message. To prevent site overload the print will be released at a random time during the week; word will be put up on this site as soon as it's released. According to Omgposters.com, the piece will be slightly larger than usual at 24" x 36" and cost a bit more too at $50. Run is set to be 350 and there is no doubt that they will sell out fast. Keep your eyes on the Obey shop.

Two Releases at Tiny Showcase

In a rare non-Tuesday release the Tiny Showcase team have put up two items on the site; the remaining "Please Save the Cats" stickers seen above and a set of two prints by Jo Dery. Price for the stickers is just $1 and price for the print set is $8, grab them before they sell out at TinyShowcase.com.

Conor Harrington at LAZ.inc

Good news for fans of Conor Harrington; Lazarides gallery have announced that the next exhibition they have lined up is "Weekend Warriors". It's set to start on Friday 25th December and will be finishing on Saturday 23rd of February, chances are it's going to be phenomenal. If you have a bit of spare cash it's worth remembering that you can currently buy an edition-of-50 print (seen above) for £753.15 excluding VAT here.

Opening on 25th January 2008 at Lazarides Gallery will be new works by Conor Harrington. The show will feature paintings made from oil and aerosol paint alongside a series of new charcoal drawings. Weekend Warriors explores the world of historical re-enactment, where men dress up at the weekends as warriors, generals and emperors to live out their escapist fantasies as heroes and supermen.

New Mear One Print at the Baurmann Gallery

The Baurmann Gallery have released a new print by rising stars Mear One which can be seen above and purchased here (or at least it will be soon; visit omgposters for an active buy link if that one isn't ready by the time you read this). The print is a detour from the usual style we've seen from Mear and is priced very reasonably indeed at $65, especially when you consider the low edition size (80).

Shepard Fairey Peace Bomber to be Released...

... at some point in the next 7 hours. Stats are same as before, three colorways at $35 each with no idea of edition size. Unfortunately there is no set time, you will have to be at the right place at the right time to get this (and apparently the next few releases). The prints should have been released on Tuesday but unfortunately the sale fell through for reasons unexplained (though it probably had something to do with the intense traffic on the site). In frustration some tried to use "backdoor" methods to purchase the print- all that ordered this way will, or so the statement says, be refunded and banned from purchasing the Peace Bomber print(s). Peace Bomber will pop up on this page, watch it carefully.

Official Obey statement:

OBEYGIANT.com would like to address any misunderstandings that may surface regarding the most recent print release of the PEACE BOMBER image. Evidently, sometime yesterday an individual/individuals aquired and circulated a link that allowed people to purchase the Peace Bomber print without it actually being released on our website. We find this act inexcusable. In every fan's interest we have created a process to purchase prints that allows everyone an equal opportunity to obtain a print fairly. Circumventing the process and utilizing a "back door" access to our inventory is completely unacceptable. For all those who participated and purchased a print yesterday, your orders will be refunded immediately. In addition, we have made the decision not to offer the Peace Bomber print to those individuals when the print is re-released. We know many of you have endured the process and made the choice not to purchase the print in this manner... We would like to allow those TRUE fans the opportunity at a fair chance at obtaining the print. We understand that our purchasing system does not function perfectly and we have been in the process of trying to solve the problem in the most efficient and painless way possible. Changes are being implemented and we hope to have everything functioning smoothly in the very near future. In the meantime, we THANK those of you that have been patient and understanding with this process.

If you have any questions or grievances please feel free to email orders@obeygiant.com but, please, understand that our decisions are final and no exceptions will be made in any case.

The Peace Bomber print will be re-released on Thursday, at a random time between the hours 10am - 6pm. For future releases, new prints will be released at random times throughout the week until all purchasing system problems have been resolved.
