S&S - its a bit rubbish methinks!, by medicjones on Dec 19, 2007 0:41:01 GMT 1, Hey all, didnt manage to get one - strangely I seem to be one of the only ones on here that actually works in the daytime and dont pass my life by pressing F5.  I must say that I really like most banksys (except monkey queen - what was he thinking!?) but Stop and Search really doesnt do anything for me. The style is completely different and its got bloody Dorothy on it for god's sake! Colour is a big part of the appeal for me - j&j, queen vic, grannies, pulp are amazing, although I think trolleys works fantastically as a B&W image having seen someone elses. Am I the only one who thinks S&S is distinctly average? BTW if anyone wants to let go of their trolleys for a GIWTBB then please get in touch!

S&S - its a bit rubbish methinks!, by goatislander on Dec 19, 2007 0:53:12 GMT 1, Medicjones, I appreciate your opinion but I will have to respectfully disagree. Although I was unable to purchase one of these prints... yet, I feel that it is one of banksy's strongest images. It is appealing to a variety of tastes and preferences, it is not too forcefully opinionated, it deals with topics that everyday people encounter and it evokes an emotion or reaction from the viewer. Where I will agree with your statement is on the topic of color or lack thereof, but for me this makes it even more characteristic of the style of art that I have began to accept and admire from Banksy.

S&S - its a bit rubbish methinks!, by Philippe on Dec 19, 2007 2:44:00 GMT 1, I have always liked the idea behind an innocent character being hassled by an authority figure. Although I believe Banksy has done better versions of this concept, I still really like S&S aesthetically and for the point it's expressing.

S&S - its a bit rubbish methinks!, by quicksnap on Dec 19, 2007 9:49:15 GMT 1, i like it because it is more of his street style than his print style. in that, it looks more like something that would be on a wall, and i love his wall stuff. if i could get some of the walls he has done, i would. if i could afford to comission a huge canvas to be painted liek a wall, i would, this print would be second best to that for me. i really hope he starts doing more prints that are similar to the wall stuff he does.
