Give it a rest..., by Hubble Bubble on Sept 1, 2017 10:06:43 GMT 1, I swear, if I see a new piece of art that is some kind of Kate Moss re working, I'm going to barf my breakfast.
I mean, come on artists... show some originality.
Just wondering what winds other folk up in terms of un original imagery in urban (or other) art.

To me, anything with Marilyn Monroe is equally f*cking awful.
Other painfully overused ideas that artists pretend to pass off as original art:
-Something with Elvis or Mickey mouse in it -adding a gun to an otherwise banal/recognizable image for "shock value" -Adding neon colors to a popular portrait of any movie star or music icon
I know people like to buy images that feel familiar to them and that's fine. But it's not breaking the mold, and if you are making something because its marketability is tried and true, how does that make you an artist?

Did some sharks on Marvel comic books and on banknotes, so total hypocrit here.

Give it a rest..., by chrisell66 on Sept 1, 2017 12:17:23 GMT 1, In todays order:
Anyone who's just died - no its not a tribute its profiteering - especially all the crap Bowie portraits.
Star Wars - why? Lazy lazy lazy
Marilyn / Kate Moss - been there - been done - its no longer 2000 so shall we move on. (K Guy that means any bloody celebrity - doing the same thing with a new face isn't original either)
Warhol/Liechtenstein Clones - I can buy a poster not some crap re work. This specifically includes Soup Cans and Spay Cans with a Campbell label
Mickey Mouse - yes Disney is the biggest evil in this world ..... plus Cauty probably did it better - and I bought them all.
Guns and Designer Logos - it was s*** the first time - its god awful by now. Ohh look an AK47 with a Gucci logo that's irony for you -
Hand Finished - Some paint splatters don't count - I can do that myself and not charge another few hundred quid for the principle
Whoevers Nightmare - I truly admire so much about Pure Evil - I got the first few series and I'd kill for the Debbie Harry one - but come on knock something new out as well as pay the mortgage with these
Winnie the Pooh / Bambi and Drugs - just stop it - its funny when you're 17 - but its no longer 1982/1967 - maybe its been done and the Furry Freak Brothers are far funnier - well they were .......
I'd slag books off - but I figure take Enid Blyton books - wait for a bad mood/cynical mood and tweak the titles - or just make some drug references that'll sell as well- give it a few years and I can charge 10k a pop - and there's hundreds of books............

Give it a rest..., by Hairbland on Sept 1, 2017 12:51:05 GMT 1, When one is young and hasn't experienced much in the world these seem like the greatest ideas. It is through the process of editing, by peers, education, practice and living life that these ideas get phased out and replaced by unique and original work.
No so would be either a lack of growth and maturation or a carny-like desire to fleece while the getting is good.

Give it a rest..., by Dive Jedi on Sept 1, 2017 14:28:55 GMT 1, Was thinking of doing a new shark.
Shark in neon colours with Marilyn Monroe hairdo and a tear from it's eye, placed on a book cover surrounded with children playing with Mickey Mouse holding a gun being arrested by a policeman wearing a Darth Vader mask, under a Rainbow with a butterfly on top of it. Painted on a dollar bill.
I will call it : Forum's Nightmare
Any pre-orders ?

There's also a that trend of artists rehashing old bloody images they have done before purely for a greedy cash grab and exploiting new collectors.
