Attention International Buyers:
I use the U.S. Postal Service Priority & FIRST CLASS International
for my shipments because it is by far the cheapest shipping method
available - UPS and FEDEX International are over double the cost. The
published Priority International Delivery Times are 6-10 Business Days,
which is grossly inaccurate the majority of the time. Typically my
shipments via USPS International Priority have been taking at least 3-4
weeks, sometimes up to 8 weeks, and they do not update the tracking
information very frequently either. Please be aware of this when you are
purchasing from me, or anyone else for that matter. I will do my best
to insure that your package arrives safely and securely, and as quickly
as possible. Please just understand that International Deliveries may
take up to 8 weeks. I will gladly upgrade your shipping to UPS
International upon request, but the additional cost will be
significantly more expensive.
THERE WILL BE NO RETURNS & NO EXCHANGES-
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH YOUR BID BEFORE PURCHASE

On June 18, 2008, Mr. Brainwash made his debut art show at the former CBS Studios in Los Angeles. A cover article was featured in LA Weekly. Over 7,000 people attended the show on its opening night.
MBW's 2008 exhibition "Life is Beautiful" - was the show that unquestionably brought Mr Brainwash into
the art worlds perspective. 2008 is the best vintage for Mr Brainwash,
as it is the year that marks his evolution from documentary filmmaker to
artist, from an observer of street art to a contender of the genre. This show marked his departure from the camera and adoption of the spray-can.
Mr Brainwash made his first major auction debut May 14th, 2010 in the Phillips de Pury Contemporary Art Sale: Part II. The piece, a massive canvas, was given a pre-auction estimate of $50,000 - 70,000.USD. The canvas ended up selling for well above the forecasted price at $122,000.USD
Here is what Shepard Fairey says about Mr. Brainwash:
"Mr.
Brainwash is an enigma. I want to hug him one second and smack him the
next. He is awesome, infuriating, almost impossible to define, but if an
artist is defined by relentless, obsessive passion, then MBW is
definitely an artist. Which kind of artist though? When I first met MBW
he was a film maker. He started documenting me putting art up on the
streets and in galleries back in ‘99. He has hundreds of hours of
footage and often risked his neck climbing with a camera to very
dangerous spots. MBW’s camera was ALWAYS on… Theoretically
MBW is coming out with an OBEY documentary eventually. Somewhere along
the way I introduced MBW to Banksy, which seemed to lead him to
transition from just a voyeur to a participant, and he began making his
own street art. MBW told me he used to paint and had actually sold his
art to Michael Jackson yearsago.
Knowing this art background and his obsessive nature, it does not
surprise me how quickly MBW rose to prominence with his street art,
becoming one of the most “up” people in LA in a short amount of time.
Not all of the work was magnificent, but it improved steadily,
reflecting the maxim that practice yields results. Meanwhile, in
addition to his street art, as flows logically, MBW was also making
canvases and screen prints that could be shown in a gallery. In his
usual style, MBW could not just do a small art show, he had to go
completely over the top and put together one of the largest, most
ambitious, non-museum shows I can think of (more detailed description
below). Of course nothing can go smoothly with MBW and over the weekend
he wrecked his car and fell off a billboard breaking his foot. A less
insane person would have postponed their art show, but he instead
postponed his foot surgery and is continuing work. With the ambition and
commitment MBW has, I’m pretty sure he’ll pull the show off, but if he
doesn’t, to paraphrase Malcolm Mclaren,
a glorious failure is better than an underwhelming success. I will be
playing records and a jazz band will perform, so it is going to be a
good party." -Shepard Fairey
Here is what Banksy has to say about MBW:
Mr. Brainwash or MBW is the moniker of an eccentric French filmmaker.
MBW has spent the last nine years attempting to make the ultimate documentary about graffiti art. But whilst filming many of the world’s most renowned street artists at work MBW
began putting his camera aside and making art of his own. He has
graduated from a few hand drawn stickers to giant billboard sized
paste-ups, eventually becoming one of the most prolific street artists in California.
MBW
does not fit the stereotype of your average street vandal. His artistic
process chiefly consists of throwing random modern cultural icons into a
blender and turning it up to eleven. The results are by turns profound,
provocative and inspirational.
“Life
is beautiful” is the first exhibition ever mounted by Mr Brainwash. It
takes place in a former Hollywood studio complex and will feature over
three hundred paintings, sculptures and prints alongside an installation
made from 100,000 shoes and a life-size re-creation of Edward Hopper’s “Nighthawks”.
“Mr. Brainwash is a force of nature, he’s a phenomenon. And I don't mean that in a good way.- Banksy
