Giveaway!!!, by LEVI C on Feb 4, 2009 9:41:44 GMT 1, Hey Bob!
Still think the idea behind the Lunacy piece is the best, but that last one is well excecuted. Refreshing to see someone looking for orignal ideas and subject matter people can relate to.
good stuff, look forward to seeing more mate and where the hells your artist star

I take it you're not refering to the Ronald McDonald image with your Refreshing to see someone looking for orignal ideas and subject matter people can relate to. comment?

Giveaway!!!, by LEVI C on Feb 4, 2009 16:13:30 GMT 1, good point and I nearly did an edit after I made the post. I hate posting anything negative if it isn't constructive, but I would have added "apart from the Ronald one" ;D. What I like is that he is 'searching' for ideas that work, I see the ronald one as part of the progression (elimination) . I think it is a very difficult and paramount element of this new genre of art moving forward. When I say refreshing, I mean it's not another splash of paint with an upset model stuck on top.
Sorry to talk like you're not here bob, just answering the question. You know where you're going anyway, when you do find a brilliant idea, you will notice (may have already with Lunacy) the demand will be incredible and the piece will fly out faster than you can paint them! I genuinely believe that is because easy to get, humorous ideas are the ultimate appeal to the new massive market Banksy has created.
Just my opinion, but I have enjoyed that experience when I had 8 of one edition sell out within an hour of opening at the last upfest. They were next to a Mr Jago original for the same price (who's stuff i love) that didn't sell. See people didn't buy me (un heard of). they didn't buy the execution, they bought the idea.
Again, good stuff Bob go for it.

That said, I quite like the image and really like your Flickr set with the step by step construction pics.

On reflection I see exactly what you mean about the boy, on white the image loses balance... I guess why I was struck by the white background was the way the sign popped from the paper and immediately caught the eye.
