How old is he?
For how long has he been cutting stencils?
Wasn't he the Godfather of stencil graffiti?
Was he really the influence of Banksy or is it his fault we got Mr Brainwash, JBoy etc?

Ok, I have to say it.
If this was by anyone else, most people would agree that it's not good.
He's a legend. This is just a weak image.

This has been a very regular cycle of emotions for me lately, what with recent prints from DOLK and D Face et al.

An original sprayed rat, limited to 100, for $499, you'd have thought they'd have sold out long ago.

What happened to the man who did Spacecowboy/Sheep/Beggar and on and on?. Is there a deeper meaning to this one?,surely cant be just the old Blek/Banksy thing again?,like his canvas at JL The Invisible Man,cringeworthy.

EPIC FAIL PRINT ! Hard to believe all persons involved (artist, printer, gallery) agreed to produce this, speechless..."
The artist just answered: "envious ?" and I was added in his blocklist
Really ?? Another artist to add in the list of pedant artists, the ones that never accept criticism ? French arrogance !

The guy who commented on my FB post got a nasty FB message from Blek... and Blek even posted a picture of the commenter next to red motrobike on his wall with caption "No comment"
So beware if you tag the guy while expressiong your opinion... OR if you think blocking and bashing people like Blek did sucks bad, then go and express your opinion on FB and tag the guy

He is, in effect, a man unable to laugh at himself."โSigmund Freud, The Ego and the Id. No way! I wouldn't put this down as a "French thing", maybe an "artist having an off moment" thing? Maybe it's a language thing and something was lost in translation, but so many artists have been producing subpar work recently, and then being very touchy when people voice an opinion on it. Good for him for standing by his work, but blocking anyone that doesn't like it is f_cking stupid. For all he knows, you've spent ยฃ50,000+ or more on his past work, and might have done again. I was thinking the exact same thing as BigBoss, in that I am really surprised that this image went through so many hands during the production process, and not one person said "hang on a minute"? The response to this image on here has been, as far as I've read, 100% negative. Yet nobody around him thought it was a duffer? Maybe they were all just "envious"? He's a much better artist than this, and any number of his images would have been superb. Unless this has a deeper meaning, it comes across as a bit lazy, weak, uninteresting, and a touch Brainwashy and Bambi-y. There, I said it. I'm off to get a coffee.

Upcoming: New Blek le Rat print at Jonathan Levine Gallery i, by Lroy on Jun 13, 2013 19:02:49 GMT 1, ![]()  It is funny that nobody thought about the Jboy print... There is a rat too, accomodate at the Banksy " sauce " ( if I could say ) . Anyway, This print is not so weak and we can't compare ti to a Brainswash's one. The deep red is really great and the paper too. Rest the figurs.. Maybe tehre a Banksy sense, maybe it was his kid young. Well, I am agree with thebigboss anyway, and I know a bit about Blek ( he " took " me , he deleted me, he spocke to me as a friend, and now ignore me totoally.. Maybe He have some vexations or suffers of the missing consideration in this world where street art becomes more and more interesting and creative ( at my opinion - I think about all these amazing walls we have from new generaiotn as Daleast, roa, Faith, etc... ) .. I think he is really a nice guy, but he doesnt speak too me anymore.... Why ? Maybe his prints in his toiletts ( I like my toiletts and there is another great ones in there, maybe I like too much Banksy, I really dunno )... Bad or changing mood ?
