Bargain (if you like lame taxidermy gone wrong), by alsbabar on Dec 24, 2008 1:29:13 GMT 1, was trying to resize pics, but here it is again
does this dead stuffed chameleon gross anyone out or do they miss the point of using dead animals or do they see this as art?
or how about this one?

Why would you get grossed out about the dead creature on it? As far as I know it doesn't normally come with the bag so his mum wouldn't have to carry it around with her. Is it an art piece? Seems dead animals have been appearing in some people's art work for awhile now. Even the talentless copyist Damien twatface Hirst has done it. You may have seen it.

Bargain (if you like lame taxidermy gone wrong), by bradpitt on Dec 24, 2008 10:53:18 GMT 1, Just like to say my mum does not own a Louis Vuitton bag Goffy
Some people will be grossed out by the dead animals used by Banksy, it is a hard hitting message and that is what works about it.
I think the Polly Morgan works are beautiful, the animals are not killed for the art and I see it as a celebration of their lives. The work is very peaceful to me. On the other hand I can see why people may not like the work, i'm not sure I could look at my own pets this way.

Bargain (if you like lame taxidermy gone wrong), by loucastel on Dec 24, 2008 11:01:11 GMT 1, Afro, i am very jealous i wish i could afford a piece by her. there is definately something hauntingly beautiful about her work, i really love the piece of the bird with its head hanging off the book (do you own that) funny what a reaction it has got from people on here. I find 99% of the god awful pictures posted on here in the name of art a lot more distateful than her work which is very thought provoking and melancoly. still you cant really beat a two bit political stencil eh ? this thread is further proof that .info is only good for up to the minute news and 'other' forums are where the real art lovers live.What a crass comment, are people not allowed an opinion now, unless it agrees with your own, as I said earlier this kind of work does nothing for me, so that obviously means I am not an art lover, I can neither see the artistic merit or the reasoning behind them to justyfy placing dead animals in unreal settings, but then again that is my opinion, I personnaly wouldnt buy dead painted iguanas and the like, but apreciate there are people who would, that is what makes art so much more interesting. I like Cubism, but know lots of people who dislike it intensely, but it would never cross my mind to tell them they are not art lovers!!!

that my friend is pretty 'crass'
and as for my other comment about other forums i am proved right by afro's thread on wallk a ndy about polly morgan which has thrown up a lot better discussion than this one here.... which says to me 'time to leave' merry christmas to one an all

Looks like you misread afroken's post, but there again perhaps not if you think that what they said over there is better than this thread, I feel sorry for you mate!! to quote from afroken's post-----
"To be fair, when I posted something about Polly Morgan over on WK a while back the only response I got was someone posting a picture of road kill."
have a good xmas!!
