Pøbel 🇧🇻 Norway Street Art • New Print Release , by kapusta on May 12, 2020 16:53:34 GMT 1, Got an invoice. I'll probably go for it – IMO, it's one of Pobel's better images. Not a fan of most of his other releases, they usually feel Dolk-lite or don't speak to me.

Game Changer, by kapusta on May 6, 2020 18:56:36 GMT 1, I'd say the subject isnt a laughing matter....... Pretty sure wit doesn't have to imply humor. But the idea that nurses are heroes isn't exactly mind blowing, creatively. It's well worn territory. Not a new idea, but a new depiction. This deviates from the "doctors and nurses wearing superhero capes" trope – granted, the doll has a cape... but the incorporation of a child adds emotion. Regardless, can't say I've seen this interpretation of healthcare workers viewed as heroes.

Pøbel 🇧🇻 Norway Street Art • New Print Release , by kapusta on May 5, 2020 23:16:24 GMT 1, Having the image come in 3 different crops is a bit bizarre, like the artist couldn't make up his mind or had spare paper he needed to use up. It's a strange choice.
I also wonder how many folks would have this or any other Covid-related art hanging on their walls in 5–10 years...

Martin Whatson • Panda Print, by kapusta on Mar 7, 2020 2:20:06 GMT 1, I'll play nice – It's okay... not as good as the tiger. The brass looks awkward with the border visible on the ground. The paper editions would look better with a darker grey background to give the panda more contrast.

At least I can appreciate that they're moving on from the glitter and trying new things with Paul.

Phlegm monumental new etching on the horizon!, by kapusta on Nov 15, 2019 19:58:50 GMT 1, The print is gorgeous, but there will be 350 of these floating around. In comparison, there are 100 copies of Fight or Flight and those seem to sell around $800 - $1k and that print is much larger. Shouldn't be difficult to pick this up for cost + $50-100.
Practice patience, people.

Phlegm monumental new etching on the horizon!, by kapusta on Nov 12, 2019 23:47:33 GMT 1, These are extremely reasonably priced considering his popularity and amount of work that went into this. Glad he upped the edition size and lowered the price. Can't help but think most other artists would charge stupid money for this.

Make Your Voice Heard, by kapusta on Oct 11, 2019 19:01:02 GMT 1, Drama aside, I'm tired of artists, including Eine, creating derivative work throughout their entire career. I bought Eine's "Modern Art" neon letter print back in 2015 (at a higher price than this release when he was more relevant). Yet he's still producing neon letter prints years later with no real evolution. It's dull. As someone who used to really enjoy Eine's work, it's frustrating to see an artist tread the same ground over and over and over.
There's other typographic artists who explore and expand their work in interesting ways – like Gary Stranger. It can be done, and it can be recognizable. Eine's crutch is the same damn fonts every time. The dude needs to change it up. This stagnation is partly why he's lost his rep. And then there's his behavioral problems...

Paco Pomet 🇪🇸 Granada, Spain • New Paintings , by kapusta on Jul 11, 2019 16:46:42 GMT 1, Hand finished is £1,500. I like it, but the added blood makes it even less wall friendly. I like that the regular black & white edition is less assuming and doesn't highlight the absurdity immediately; in that way, it's a bit more interesting. The hand finished is basically saying "Look here for the punchline."

Not familiar with this technique.
Basically, they separated the painting into 6 colors/shades and used diffusion dithering (via photo editing software, you can Google that to see examples) to create the color gradients. This uses finer dots compared to halftone dot patterns. Sounds fancy, but it's pretty common in screen printing.
