F U C K F A C E, by robinbanks on Apr 14, 2008 22:51:29 GMT 1, The more I look at it the more I like it.... and if it's meant to be Hitler and it's going to be a print, then I'll have a guess at a release date of 20th April. Edition of 119.
Why the fuck would someone make a print to mark Hitler's birthday.
And why the fuck would you put a fucking smiley on the end of a ridiculous comment like that?

Yeh I have to agree, my sentiments exactly.

Wasn't accusing you of anything and I know it wasn't you who made the initial Hitler suggestion (can't see it myself tho) and I can see that you were just trying to have a bit of fun with the release date/edition size - I just think a little more sensitivity should be used when dealing with a subject that deeply affected the lives of millions of people. Maybe leave the little smiley out next time or perhaps use this one instead

The smiley was connected purely to the part of the sentence which mused about the possibility of a release (maybe even a micallef release at that -based on opinion of who is responsible for the image) and its size. You don't need to tell someone who's lived in Germany as long as I have how touchy the subject is but I would contend the point that I was "dealing with the subject" per se - I merely mentioned it by name

Looks cool!!

Heard something about a POW-sponsored street art show coming up in a few weeks, this could have something to do with it (or maybe I was just lied to)

I'm a fan of Mic's stuff and like most of his head studies, but this is just horrible. You can talk about the brush strokes all day, but you wont get past the fact it wont look good in anybodies house. Obviously each to their own though.

F U C K F A C E, by Deleted on Apr 15, 2008 7:01:20 GMT 1, i have come back and looked at this image many times. each time i look at it i feel more uncomfortable. there isnt much of micallefs work that i dont like, but im afraid you couldnt pay me to have this in my house or even in my portfolio. i liked to be challenged and it has def done that. i do think however it is much better than the Laz(la) prints, although not a patch on 'god i want to be bad'.

It's a bit of a marmite picture........either love it or hate it but I bet plenty of people would want to buy it. If nothing else it will keep the kids away from the fire.

Don't think he did it so one can have a nicer wall, a prettier room.
It's a bold departure. very intense and intriguing. this is very very fine art.

F U C K F A C E, by angel41 on Apr 15, 2008 8:36:12 GMT 1, Its definitely Micallef'esc around the nose and mouth. I like the balance of colour in the piece which is one of the reasons why I think it's so appealling apart from being stone cold disturbing.
While I'm here, here's something I produced last week.
Not quite as disturbing as 'FUCKFACE' but I try and make the characters in my 'god damaged' collection have an element of vulnerability.

I much prefer the work by Angel 41. If it is by Micallef, go back to the easel and try again.
