The Old Ultraviolence or 'Why I Love eBay'

To begin, apologies for not blogging yet this week. I've been trying to fix my sleep-pattern, it's resulted in a lack of motivation for the last few days. As a result, my blog(& other endeavors) have suffered. I have been slowly working on a post or two, but today is the first day of a new postage week & I got mail! I kept this 'find' secret, mostly because I didn't want more people I had to bid against. I have managed to find & acquire, one of the very first things I blogged about, the Yosiell Lorenzo 'The Old Ultraviolence' wood print.

When I first learned of the existence of this piece, I was sure I'd never own one. A limited run of only 40, the likelihood of someone selling one, seemed almost impossible. Thankfully, due to my obsessive eBay browsing, I found one.

My Plaque(apology for the crappy photo)

I had to outbid another person to win it(paid a little more then I'd hoped), but it was totally worth it. The plaque is 9x12inches, quite large. It's number 11/40.

Signed & Numbered

I currently have no where to display it. I bought a plate stand for it, it doesn't fit & I have no appropriate wall hooks. The never ending bane of my existence, my inability to display my items nicely. So I now plan to buy a cabinet from Ikea, something simple, but with a LOT of space. I suppose I'll also need to acquire a larger plate stand(there's a fun task).

The Woes Of Collecting or 'Why I Created This Blog'

So, I've been collecting A Clockwork Orange items on & off for the last 14years or so. I do regular searches online, to try & keep up with any new toys/art released. Recently however, I've miss the opportunity to own a few items, simple due to being unaware they existed until it was too late. It seemed to me, the logical thing to do, was attempt to draw more ACO collectors to my attention, thus reducing the change of missing future aquisitions. So yeah I am, creating a new blog. I plan to blog about myself a lot(I love to share pictures of my collection), along with new items I've found, or bought... & well, most likely a lot of Stanley Kubrick stuff... Because the man was a film God. So to get this blog started, here's a collection of images, of the items that inspired me to start this blog... Items I'll quite possibly never own(though of course, if anyone knows where I might find any of these items... PLEASE let me know!).

Nadsat Boy - Kenth



Droogie - MannyX



Ice Scream Man - artransmitte x Brutherford



The Old Ultraviolence - Yosiell Lorenzo

Just a little information about each item, incase anyone was interest:

1. Nadsat Boy by Kenth ~ I found this recently, it's existance shocked me. Had no idea this had been created. As you can see, other then one-offs, only blanks have been made so far & they're sold-out. I commented on one of the images on Kenths facebook, seems like more will be made, potentially a coloured version with higher numbers. So that's good news! I have no idea how many blanks were created.

2. Droogie by MannyX ~ I found this literally two days after it was released & with a run of only 3(one glow in the dark) at only $40 a piece... I'm prettysure they sold out in about 10seconds. This is an item I'm sure I will never own...

3. Ice Scream Man by artransmitte x Brutherford ~ Limited to 50, this awesome vinyl creation is simple, but brilliant. Of course, it sold out just before I knew about it. This is one item I hope to be able to hunt down sooner rather then later.

4. The Old Ultraviolence by Yosiell Lorenzo ~ A beautiful example of Lorenzos work. Yet another item I'm sure I'll never own(additional details in the photos).
