Son of Man 2009, by bmjt on Mar 17, 2009 20:33:25 GMT 1, Lovely detail and overall finish, but i'm not a massive fan of your drips...how are you doing them? They seem a bit forced, and a tad regular for me, ie. all same widths. Other than that, an interesting piece, what is the thinking behind it? Economic crisis - businessman topping himself etc?

yeh this one is just a rough test spray and I used one single stroke for those drips and they can sometimes look a bit uniformed, i know what you mean, i'll loosen them up later. Ben Slow (the drip master!) showed me some tricks last night so will do that tonight.
Hero- not sure i agree on the colours, i really wanted the only colours to be the apple and tie, one reason is the tie gives a small 'labour' addition to the idea. Also keeping the number of colours down so can do a run of hand sprayed past ups. I wanted to see how well the idea was received before finishing and it's gone down a storm off and on here.
Thanks again for the comments guys, i'll get a finished one up here asap!

Son of Man 2009, by LEVI C on Mar 23, 2009 23:29:55 GMT 1, added some splashes to this one to blend the drips in a little. Will do a finished one tomorrow.
Sacked i've just done my first few hand sprayed paste ups. Only, they have to go outside. ;D Is your wall outside on street?
If so, i'll get one in the post but you have to post pic of it on the wall after?

nice, it would look better (imo) if you changed the apple to the apple mac/ipod logo or even an ipod, and i would put in a top pocket with $ bills inside like a handkerchief or maybe a wilting flower in the button hole, i would also make the apple or whatever you put in front of his face bigger to cover the eye(s) and lose three of the leaves, should i just paint one and then pm the photos ;D .

Son of Man 2009, by LEVI C on Mar 24, 2009 16:49:35 GMT 1, cheers Topboy! I must admit i was tempted by the apple mac logo. So will give some thought on that. I think the flower may break the simple rule and as for the eye, i wanted to use the original painting hence the limited detail when created in this size and this is how that is. (would have been easy to get a nice hi res image of any man in a suit and a better apple, but i didn't want to loose the feel of the original if that makes sense)
Thanks though, comments well worth considering
here's the first hand sprayed (colours only) paste up in case people don't see it in the street forum.
thanks again

Son of Man 2009, by LEVI C on Mar 25, 2009 22:07:23 GMT 1, what is the point behind it ? what are you trying to say ?
i'll explain how I got there. A mate of mine actually mentioned the image. I always liked the original The Son of Man by Magritte. Didn't know much about it just that is was popluar in 1964, he was from Belgium, I knew it had some meaning behind it. Did a bit of googling and in brief, he was saying the then modern businessman had lost their identity (hence apple in front of face).
Obviously the apple is a connection to the title 'son of man', which Jesus called himself in the bible. (i'm not religous, so don't quote me on that ;D), also the apple representing Adam
So with Magrittes being based on the present day in 64, I thought with the economic downturn in business currently, this would be a nice spin. I think the idea has to work when you look into it, but it's also nice when the image is simple but mysterious enough to provoke your thought, likes Magrittes great piece, not really easy to get but driven by an idea that is obvious after.
hope that explains ok,
Cheers Jellybaby!

Son of Man 2009, by LEVI C on Apr 6, 2009 20:15:39 GMT 1, Hey Martin,
thanks for the feedback man, yeh i'll try and grab some of that stuff and check it out. That was a test spray so had planned to neaten it up on the finished edition.
I think this one is near enough finished now. I've messed with the contrast a bit but the suit is even in reality now anyway. (underspray is intented).
thanks again

sorry Levi only just read your reply to my post, it looks good on the street and i see what you mean about keeping it looking more like an original without the high res image ECT, i could give you a more detailed opinion of the piece, if only i could see it close up and in the flesh, do you want me to PM my address?

Son of Man 2009, by LEVI C on May 6, 2009 20:55:34 GMT 1, Working on a few new ideas so not posted in a while. Messed around with a variation on this piece and wacked a couple more on the street.
one on the studio door
thought this one was quite well placed (gave them 5 fags to guard it while it dried). should have put it lower though
been past it since and theres writing all over it, intrigued at what their comments would be
My other queen lasted so long thought i'd give her a companion
thats it for now, more new stuff nearly ready

Cheers man! by the way, I've got that 'Now Open Sundays' I need to return to you. Will pm and sort out dropping it over or whatever.
Just wanted to pop an outdoor sprayed version. I managed to get this one down to 38 mins, it's in a bit of a hidden location as its a practice, but i'm happy with how it turned out and am now fully hooked on the outdoor sprayed stuff!
I will now be releasing this piece at the below event, along with a variation of Theory of Devolution and a life size Prince of Thieves - (just posting on prince of thieves thread), I'll also be spraying it (along with others) live at UPFEST.
How to start a revolution.
