My first ever print., by Stoko on Sept 13, 2016 21:32:38 GMT 1, FINALLY got my arse into gear and sorted a run of prints of a recent illustration.
Hardly Urban in style, but I've learnt my stripes in that field over the past 30 years so cut me some slack!
Oversized A3 giclee print that is hand finished in graphite and fine liner. Edition of 25 signed, dated and numbered in pencil on the front.
Printed on 300gsm Smooth Rag textured white paper.
Paper size: 42x32cm, print size 35x25cm, so this will fit easily into most A3 frames to save framing costs.

My first ever print., by Deleted on Nov 24, 2016 12:08:00 GMT 1, I like that, shades of pure evil meets Giger. A good take on post Brexit state of Britain today.
There again I like pen and ink artwork a lot.
It's a bit spooky to go on some peoples walls but there are lots of fans out there for dark gothic style.
I smiled at your Evil baby print on your big cartel.

Just terrible. Nothing more to say. It's okay not to like this guys print but saying 'just terrible' is kind of dickish. It's his 1st print and takes balls to post it on here. Kudos to him. |

My first ever print., by Dr Plip on Nov 25, 2016 12:52:18 GMT 1, Fair play to Stoko for putting his work out there. The latest one isn't my cup of tea, mainly because I hate the Union flag in all its forms, dislike jesus and have had a traumatic incident with a goat, but I like that he is clearly pursuing his own artistic interests and not just pandering to the urban art buying crowd.
So if it's not for you, so be it, but it has integrity. And I think that should be what art is all about.
And just keep going. Artists need thick (often calloused) skin and tenacity. You can't please everyone, but just keep going and creating work that matters to you.

If so then really nice skills on the black & white elements of the illustration. I would like to see more on the drawing side rather than moving so quickly to prints.

If you're going to stick your neck out and say 'look at this I've created' then you need to be prepared to be shot with shit just as much as you would like it if someone appreciates it.
Thick skinned indeed. Couldn't give a shit. If I wanted people to say nice things and buy prints I'd do some basic photoshop of Star wars characters and spray them on dollar bills.
I draw for the pleasure of it, thought I'd put a print out as a few people had expressed an interest in that image.

Stoko are these both prints of illustrations you have drawn (pen/pencil)? If so then really nice skills on the black & white elements of the illustration. I would like to see more on the drawing side rather than moving so quickly to prints. First one is a print of a pen drawing I did. Second one is a pen drawing scanned into photoshop along with some spray and ink splats. Only did the print as a way of getting an image out to a few people, not sure it translated into a print too well. |
