The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

[snackbandit]

Finally caught up with the forum posts last night and everyone's absolutely killing it!

My art/graffiti knowledge sucks, but I knew this had to be something and made a beeline for it right after the doors opened. It's an original acrylic on wood piece by Kelly "RISK" Graval who's apparently a big L.A. based graffiti artist. This thing is huge and measures about 4x4 ft and I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. Maybe @330CK can chime in?

Have a ton of other stuff to post, so I'll hopefully get around to that this week.

@Nataku Absolutely love Between the Buttons. Jealous!

 

[Mr. Moo]

Anyone recognize this as anything? Quite heavy for it's size. @impuntura ?

 

[impuntura]

Whoa no I don't but i would buy in a heartbeat if under a twenty.
The industrial look is hot

 

[impuntura]

Almost looks like it was welded to something else on the base there .maybe a row of seats ?

 

[Mr. Moo]

Thx. It's $15. Think I'll scoop it up. It has a sticker on the back but it's just an "Auth No 900 xxxxxxx" type of deal.

Can't find any auction records but based on the signed/numbered prints I've found, an original should be worth in the low to mid thousands. Has a great look and wall presence, and iirc you're in LA so this shouldn't be a problem to sell for quite a nice return.

Can anyone give me some insight? Is this actually PRL? If so is it possible to tell when it was made?

That's a Polo tie, missing the Polo logo keeper, and has store tag on it.
