New Get City, post here when you get something new

Got these in my parcel motel this evening.





The big one is printed on high quality fabric, and the smaller one on silk. You can't really tell in the pics, but they are pretty decent quality. Large one is 32" x 24" and the smaller is 17" x 13".

Now, where to put them? The wall is pretty packed in my office :0/

You'd probably be into the Banjo man's paintings based on that style.

Heres his most recent one:



You might have a problem getting 2 of them though!

I see Ollie did a Shadow of the Colossus speed painting 2 weeks ago which was why it was stuck in my memory when I saw the one you picked up:

someone called me ?
I haven't painted in a few years and doing these got me back into it. They're one hour studies though, not proper finished pieces

CiDeRmAn

Feck ya,
Just finished a painting of Templemore of all places.
About 17 hours work in that.
I'm sure it'll mean a lot to the eventual owner but I just don't get it myself.

BGOllie

oh yes... been there. I hate commissions
spent 8 years painting people's dogs and cars and whatever hotel they got married in... I just refuse them now even if I like the subject matter. It's one of the reasons I stopped painting 2 years ago.
It's just not worth the stress and time spend for less money than the minimum income

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

My eldest sister is great at commissions (probably at it 20 years on and off) but she hasn't done much lately over the smallies. When they're all in school I think she'll go back to it.
Both of us end up doing very feminine men lol it's weird, she has some success, I just avoid it altogether.

and in other news. I found these. I've been on a jewel case pc hunt . They all end up in the audio cd sections so it takes time to dig them out but it's worth it


also found these . odd to find an ntsc ps1 game . the other is one of those promo copies for ps2

This arrived today from alpahaeagle.
It's a gift for a friend, but I'm seriously thinking of giving them my one as this looks to be in better condition

Los Lobos

The great Alphaeagle sale of 2015 will be talked about for years to come, the nerds will ask 'where were you when all the retro goodness was for sale?'

And i shall tell them, I was buying an Atari 5200, cib, still not sure it really happened, some one pinch me...

Myrddin

Ha, nice get. If I wasn't saving I'd have taken that I reckon...you simply don't come across them over here.

CiDeRmAn

Got the RGB cable for my launch 360, thanks Myrddin, and everything looks sweet.
I'm going to get the physical release of Geometry Wars 2 as the console can't be plugged into XBL, I'd say it'll look superb on the CRT

A colleague showed up with a huge bag at work yesterday with this inside and gave it to me. He'd heard I was into retro games and found this in his attic ... TMNT Hyperstone Heist and that quickshot stick :eek:


that Model II is getting modded this very weekend .
also he said he's got an NES somewhere too.:D

CiDeRmAn

I've got to get a better standard of colleague!
They still think videogames are all about Pacman and Space Invaders

BGOllie

I've got a modded Master system 2 if you want it

airmax87

I walked into a charity shop randomly and there was one backwards ps2 case inbetween the old FIFA's and shovelware games.

2 euros .

Shame there's no 60hz but still, very very good for 2 euros.

Fella rang me out of the blue yesterday
said he had something for me.
Picked this up earlier
