Day 15...
Our quiet refuge on the streets of Homerton for over 2 weeks now has now been very much infiltrated, so much so that i now fear for Russell's mental well-being by this current turn of events. He still doesn't know why he is queuing, a fact that at this stage no longer truly matters to either of us. It's the taking part that really counts. The commotion this morning has tipped him over the edge somewhat, this could go either way. Pray for Russell..and pray for the other 88 people in the queue should Russell be forced to take matters into his own hands come the drop at 5pm
I'm still not sure what colour to go for, a thought that has been swirling around my mind for 2 weeks now. Will the blue match my Lover's print? maybe silver would be better? It is a mental warfare that I no longer wish to be burdened with, soon my time will come to chose. we are close now, so close

Did Russell bring a tube with him? it's not a gallery so he might get it folded in 4 or have to pay for an elastic band.

I fear for what could happen to other queueing folk should Russell be armed with a re-enforced cardboard tube stender

What colour is best? .........We have no idea what your favourite colour is 2. Will there be a Banksy release soon? .......Almost certainly the answer's no, and if there was one, the chances are we wouldn't be in this queue in Hackney on the eve of the closure of a Banksy show if we had any insider info 3. Will there be tickets so we can leave the queue and go to the pub?........... Just wait and see p.s Hang in there t3c and Russell, reinforcement is coming.

I would have loved to have got one of these, but I'm not into standing in a queue all day and bumping into misfits like FR. Good luck though to those that want one to hang and not flip.

Tickets all handed out, the question now is, can everyone leave and come back later, have to still wait with the ticket or, as would be sensible, sell the prints now, get everyone out of the way and resume a normal life......not easy..well done campers

Stik’s street art sale will raise £50,000 for hospital which saved his lifeThe street artist, who has painted his stick-figure like characters across the globe from New York to Tokyo, spent years living on the streets before he found fame, where he sadly came under attack from thugs on more than one occasion. “Homerton Hospital is my first port of call and when you are homeless stuff happens, I’ve been rushed to A and E more than once,” he told the Gazette. “It’s horrible being homeless, you are very vulnerable, Homerton patched me up. Homerton is very important to me.” Each of the 100 prints costs £500, and the money will go towards the neurological rehabilitation unit’s art room, to help rehabilitate patients with brain injuries, along with art workshops for people with dementia at the elderly care unit. “I wanted to do something to show the transformative power of art, not just politically but medically as well,” said Stik who gets invites from all over the world to paint his huge murals, many of which offer social comment. “The money will go towards funding art therapy teachers and buying equipment, of course with the cuts these are the first services to go. “I believe in the hospital and I believe in keeping it public and not selling it off,” added Stik, referring to The Health and Social Care Act which was introduced by the Conservative and Lib Dem government, which has paved the way for private companies to tender for health services in direct competition with the NHS. “We have been left holding the baby and we are going to protect it. “Everyone who is buys a print is donating to the NHS, it’s important to reiterate that this is not a private donation, this is helping the public to generate money for the NHS – but it’s a drop in the ocean and it’s not a viable means to keep the NHS running, the NHS is not going to continue solely on artists generating art work,” said Stik, whose works hang in the homes of musicians Elton John, Bono and Brian May. Stik, who lived in homeless hostel St Mungo’s in Mare Street and dodged police to put his mark on the city, has always wanted to do something to “give something back” to the hospital. With the release of his self-titled book last month, which is topping the non fiction book charts at number one, he felt that the time was right to draw enough publicity to the sale. More than 500 people turned up to the book launch in central London last month. The book documents many of his works over the past decade, from his beginnings painting along the Regent’s Canal and on the Tube network, to his latest figures in New York, Tokyo and Acton in London where he has painted the tallest piece of street art in the UK, standing at 125 feet (38m). The Homerton mural was not in the book, although it was supposed to be – but the book was a year late already because he wanted to make sure the ones in New York, Norway and Acton were in it. “It almost killed me,” he said. “I hadn’t even signed the contract, it was incredibly stressful, it was a year of holding my nerve and saying I need to finish these three – Big Mother was the final piece in the puzzle.” “It’s very much like an underscore for me now, the end of one chapter and beginning of new chapter - the Homerton piece is the start of the next chapter. “I’ve gone from reflecting on my own state, I was living in St Mungo’s hostel and the pieces were very much about my loneliness and my struggle but gradually as my life situation improved I was able to reflect on other causes. So I started talking about homelessness in general and the cuts to the NHS and other important social issues that I can now embrace and see because my life is improving. “I’m not sure where the next chapter is going to take me but I think it’s going to be engaging with society on a deeper level. “In a way it’s still the same as when I was running out in the night with a spray can and spraying on the wall, it’s sort of like that but on a much bigger level now.” www.hackneygazette.co.uk/news/stik_s_street_art_sale_will_raise_50_000_for_hospital_which_saved_his_life_1_4244285

The fact that you have to be present in order to buy the print does add to the charity. In a way people will be witnessed what it is about and not just click on the 'buy' button for another new print.

IMO he could of made 100 of each, same price and still sold all, gave many more the opportunity to own a print, raised a lot more money for charity, and best of all, it would seriously put a dent in any flippers armoury.
