Give it a rest..., by Dexter Bulldog on Sept 2, 2017 10:46:32 GMT 1, I am guilty of owning some (ok borderline a lot of) stuff i am over these days. When I saw it for the first time, I was like "cool!" And then I saw it again. And again. And again. Always from different artists, just rehashing the same thing. I quickly realized it was new to me at that time but not at all original. The mashup of real people and Star Wars stuff is definitely low hanging fruit that any newcomer will gravitate to. Oh well. I also thought anything on old newspaper was amazing the first time I saw it. And you keep seeing it. Then it loses its novelty as an overused medium. (I don't care, I still really enjoy my LTF dran. )
But stuff that kinda irritates me is the politicians. Just seems lazy. Enough with the trump/Obama etc. remember all the George w bush stuff? You think anyone's still enjoying that on their wall?
And same with Che. Lazy
Oh and someone else stated the week after dead celebrity stuff, that Bowie barrage was extremely tasteless.
I also agree after a while it's difficult to invent new art images or themes but sometimes a re hashing seems more inspired than others. I wouldn't fault artists that always do the same thing like comic books or the same graffiti tags over images, that's their style. Not for me, but that's what they do.
