He has learnt from his previous blunder with the release of "Pig". Its better to release the old stuff that have been properly branded and hyped through paintings on actual walls. That means that he already has some feedback from what the dolk-market wants, and the motifs have had some time to establish themselves as part of the dolk-cult in the subconscious of his followers.
Its always nice for the buyers to have a sidestory to go with their new poster at the next teaparty, as these motifs have made the long route from actual wall, via his own website, to HMP.
The top one is still missing her nose, but the one on the bottom is quite good. Done in his older, more recognizeable style, it looked proper good on the old house he painted during his marketing campaign in Lofoten in 2008 and Im sure it will prove to be a good milking cow this time around too.
Its more like Why why why why why why why why why x 87.500, as thats how many pounds these prints combined will go for when they sell out next week. Once again Dolk and HMP will laugh all the way to the bank.
I suppose the bottom one is good if you like twee Victorian silhouette art. Here's a few more you may enjoy.. http://karenswhimsy.com/silhouette-art.shtm
first one, mildly racist, but other than that says nothing. maybe it's to appeal to the readers of women's magazines, magazines designed to make women feel like shit. So I guess it says something - it says "women you are ugly and worthless". nice. mildly racist AND sexist. second one, so uninteresting and badly conceived I can't believe the screen printer could even be bothered to go to the effort of printing it. this one really says nothing, other than "this artist doesn't know how to draw"
Pure Gerbil - that link gives Dolk and his idiot stencil brothers ideas for prints for the next decade. you sir are a cunt.
Haha. yeah. Who would have thought that this radical edgy underground art form was all the while the same thing that suburban grannies use for their homemade greetings cards.
Kind of explains why upper middle class preppie kids like Vandalog and his friends find it so attractive. They're into it precisely because it's so safe, dull and conformist.
I regret to inform you all that Dr Funky was recently found unconscious in the street in mysterious circumstances, having sustained massive head injuries. This was of course nothing at all to do with him continuing to allow people to criticise the Banksy corporation on this blog. There is also no truth in the rumour that somebody with a 3 foot long head and wearing an Obey t-shirt was seen hiding in bushes nearby.
very nice.
ReplyDeleteMakes you wonder doesn't it. Maybe it's something about trying to recreate the look of really low quality 1950's Christmas cards?
ReplyDeleteGot to admire the guy's effort though. If he keeps going at this rate then surely that GCSE in art can't be too far away now.

The formula works.

ReplyDeleteHow is that huge mushroom going to fit in her tiny basket? And how can the noseless woman make her face black with a white lipstick?

The black and white minstrels bird has fucking massive hands, she'd make mu cock look seriously small with those shovels!
ReplyDeletethis is total poop. why is total poop considered the shit?
ReplyDeleteis there nothing new happening in street art? come on Funky, there must be some shit to moan about!
ReplyDeletehere's my latest film if it helps http://vimeo.com/29094424
So you really thought it was worth releasing all of those chemicals into the environment for the sake of painting some lines on the ground??
ReplyDeleteYou need severe mental help mate.

ReplyDeleteIs street art more of an attitude than the actual act of putting stuff up in the street?
ReplyDeleteYeah, the required attitude seems to be an eagerness to suck corporate dick for money.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's all about knowing your place in the narcissistic supply (daisy) chain and loving it.
ReplyDeleteIf this place goes down lets all start one but make it more rabid.
She looks like a Bacup Coconutter getting ready for a dance, either way its pretty shit.
