Mr Brainwash / Rene Gagnon / Banksy

So yeah Mr Brainwash's release this week of some old work, brings up the name Rene Gagnon and specifically this work

Ooooooh Thierry has 'appropriated' his idea? Or maybe this has been done before? Maybe just a few times? Okay so maybe not a spraycan, but yeah a soup can. Anyway this is Mr Brainwash we're discussing here, originality isn't a strong point.

But the bigger point and one that should worry Rene is the execution...one we've seen before with this, by Rene

and this by Banksy

it all comes back to execution of the image, how he takes it, creates the concept and one vitally important thing HUMOUR he laces it with. Rene your pieces just aren't funny, either use your indignity to grow a funny bone or just you know, stop whinging
