Interesting approach - lots of low and middle priced stuff, nothing super rare, items likely churned multiple times. Still not much fun for those who have laid out cash.
if you are going to do a bad thing , do it big and do it once, then never try it ever again.if this is indeed 6 figures ( personally I cannot see this from the sales list), then that could be a decade on the lam in Cambodia with a bit of planning
Silk doesn't care, he is happy living in Dutertes death squad police state - he likely considers the actions of RRR good wholesome capitalism.That forum was always full of scammers and fraudsters, I can think of about 3 off hand- the common link being a complete refusal to control the selling aspect.
Has the happy shopper hitler bothered commenting on this yet ?

Sulky won't do anything as per. He hasn't even had the grace to comment and offer to help. Says it all really. As Euro has mentioned, his inclination to refuse to add any form pf protection against dodgy sales etc and his allowing of adverts from a gallery that openly faked Stik pieces and WCP's "copies" have led to the assumption people can do what they want as long as sulky gets the revenue. his refusal to add a post minimum for sales threads etc, kinda says fuck it I don't care to a scammer looking for an easy mark. Same reason people don't show as banned, makes the place look way busier than it is for the advertisers, pretty much also fraud.
Dare say a lot of people who may have info have probably been banned too so can't really help much.
RRR told me once he had a flat he rented out in Brighton, just off St James Street in kemp town. So if anyone has been trying to find him and came up with a Brighton address they brushed off, have another look at it.
Cant share the other side, I got banned a few weeks ago for pointing out how shit sulky ethics were and that it was ruining the place and making it a likely paradise for scammers. Sad how quickly this blew up afterwards. Hopefully everyone can get the money back somehow. Paypal seem to be refunding a fair few already so fingers crossed.

kronsbein or whatever they are called. Made the eggs with sleeping baby on them. Ok thanks, never heard of it The Easter spirit has been rather overtaken by a dispute over an exhibition in Germany of works by Stik, a graffiti artist from Hackney, London. Stik has disassociated himself from Galerie Kronsbein’s Pop and Urban art show in Munich, which opened on April 7. To accompany the exhibition, gallery owner Dirk Kronsbein had organised for 700 eggs to be printed with Stik’s “Sleeping Baby” image, which — after copyright infringement concerns were raised by the artist — the gallerist promised not to sell. Stik says: “This exhibition has no connection with me, I was never asked for permission and I can’t vouch for the authenticity or provenance of the works.” Kronsbein says: “We acted in good faith.” He says the works were bought legally, at auction and privately, are signed by the artist and come with a certificate of authenticity. He claims that letters were sent ahead of the exhibition but these were returned unopened. Of the eggs, Kronsbein says: “We made these at our own expense and the proceeds were going to go to a children’s charity.” The dispute extends beyond eggs, however. Stik is concerned that Kronsbein is also offering part of a mural that he and a group of young locals created in Gdansk, Poland, in 2011. The mural, commissioned by the Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art, was subsequently removed and cut up — an action under investigation in Poland. Kronsbein says he has a part of the mural, “on display but not for sale”. Stik keeps a careful eye on sales of his street pieces, insisting that “100 per cent of the money goes back to the community”. He never authenticates private sales. As this column went to press, the artist was working with Christie’s to sell the banner he made for the borough of Hackney for the Pride in London parade last summer. Funds raised will go towards an LGBTQ+ exhibition at the Hackney Museum (online bidding closed on April 13, est $7,000-$10,000). www.ft.com/content/2039c782-1f63-11e7-b7d3-163f5a7f229c

Wonder why he bothered with the low value ones, maybe to make it look more legit 😐. Thousands of pounds of invaders there though also

"take price discussions to pm" I bet those who bought the same piece a few times wish it were out in public.
It might have saved some heartache

They certainly are Mikey. If I'm not mistaken, the 5x Piggyback 2013 versions shown appear to be photoshopped. All the creases and shadows are in the same place, the rough tabs (decal edges / tear tabs*) along the top edge look identical as well. Same goes for Liberty and Walk colour ways, just a bit less obvious. Very odd... *or whatever they're called...

Silk is broke, living in a far away country, spending his time sobbing wishing he didn't flip all his banks's when they went from 60 GBP to 500 overnight. Making a whopping 440 GBP on each print. Selling the lot made him a cool 4k GBP!

Followed by a paypal link. i guess the £800 or so per month he's pulling in from the shitehawk galleries paying him to advertise their fake artworks isn't enough to sustain his lifestyle of paying partially sighted young asian women to have sex with him.

I guess seeing your site as a free ebay might make you want to take a % like ebay does.

Daniel Silk is a disgrace to our hobby. He goes online complaining that people are threatening his family and then he continues to ban people for no reason. I understand how one could make enemies that way. I was banned for posting links to my artist interviews. I make no money off of the blog and don't have advertisers. I have 400-500 viewers a week, which isn't much, but I want to promote affordable art and get people interested. Boom. Banned.
Daniel Silk is pure trash. Just a garbage person that does not respect our hobby or its participants.
