Hi all. Just joined the forum. A little about me... Eight or so years ago, I bought a Murakami print and I've been hooked on collecting art ever since. I'm still interested in contemporary Japanese art, but also collect street art, some photograph and just about anything else that strikes me. Looking forward to being part of this community.

Hi all
I've been meaning to introduce myself for some time.
Thanks to Devours I heard of this board and having had the chance to look over it I'm pleased to be a member.
I'm in the UK, Surrey to be exact and over the past year have found myself moving away from vinyl toys and more into printed art.
My collection consists of pieces from Tin, Dan McCarthy, Daniel Danger, Josh keyes, Nathan Ota, Luke Chueh, Yoskay Yamamoto, Nanami Cowdroy, Andrew Bell, Ken Keirns and more..
No OG's yet but that's the next big thing.
Fave artists also include Travis Louie, Doktor A, Jason Thielke, Glenn Barr, Johnny Yanok, Nate Wragg. I could go on
Last piece I purchased was Yoskay's "Screaming for the sunrise"
I am waiting to frame most of the collection when the building work in the house is finished. Although I don't think my wife knows just how many I have.
Anyway that's me.
Hope to speak more soon.

Been lurking around a little bit, so finally thought I'd reg and pipe up. It's heartening to see folks really collecting art again!
Name: Christine Griffin, aka 'Cris' (I was around before 'Family Guy'; I swear!)
What do you do: artstuffs (portraits/illustration)
Why are you here: gossip, snacks, looking to get into the fine arts biz
What message boards do you frequent: Epilogue.net, ConceptArt.org
Fave artists: Shawn Barber, Eric Fortune, Luke Kopycinski, James Jean, Jon Foster, Robert Longo, the list could go on and on
Last piece you purchased: a print from Eric Fortune
How did you find this message board: via Arrested Motion
I've been working in the scifi/fantasy illustration field for a while, but my heart lies in the 'fine' arts. I'm incredibly interested in why people like what they like, and it's always cool to hear another side of the business.

Cris, welcome to the board. Always cool to find out that people find us via AM. It's great to meet a fan of Robert Longo, just saw some of his stuff at his gallery in NYC... amazing man. You're in Ohio? Close to Cincinnati... maybe we'll get more rep from the midwest.
