Damien Hirst Mickey Mouse Screenprint, by Sacked... on Jan 8, 2014 22:40:48 GMT 1, Damien Hirst has paid Walt Disney the ultimate compliment by creating a new painting of Mickey Mouse done in the style of the artist's spot paintings.
The provocative British artist unveiled his "Mickey" painting on his official website Wednesday, saying that the work will be offered for sale at a Christie's auction in London in February to benefit Kids Company, a British charity that provides assistance for youth.

I had some time on my hands today.
I'm not a fan of Mickey Mouse but it's for a very good cause and I'm sure whoever buys it will be happy to own an unusual Hirst.[/quote]
Do you do dead sharks per chance!!!!
Love the pop eye and FFlint

Looking forward to the print release Plip

yes but they have spent time creating their brand (so to speak) and getting yourself out there. not as easy as you think.

You really have to put the time in. Sometimes it comes down to luck, but mostly you have to make it happen. Then, the more successful you are, the less work you have to put in, it seems.

Thanks for the kind comments. This might be the start of my stencil career. Spraying spots can't be that hard, right? I'll call myself Spot.  
They are pretty good!!!! Im sure if there is a Stik then there should be a Spot

Hang on, there's a knock at the door. Be right back... Where is Cartrain when you need him? I think he's contacting his own legal department? Seeing as how his last print release was Mickey Mouse too. And Disney Corpโข are readying their lawyers to destroy the pair of them. |

Damien Hirst Mickey Mouse Screenprint, by freakinstyle on Jan 9, 2014 13:54:41 GMT 1, Sounds all very respectful to create a piece of art for charity, but this doesn't come as much as a sacrifice from him because it is just a few dots. How long did it take him? How much did it cost him? With 100 million pounds in the bank, assuming it cost 50 pounds to make, he 'sacrificed' 0.00005 percent of his money. If someone worth net 5.000 would do the same thing, he/she would give 25p to this charity.
So whoever is spending their god knows 30.000 pounds for these dots, is probably doing a more generous thing, although hope they only spend it because the charity is worth it, not the painting.

Effectively we are paying half the time for other people to make us buy stuff! Happy happy joy joy!

Now, anyone fancy silk screening some spots for me? Yes, very hard. But this is getting worse and worse: marketing is priority one, product is priority 6 or so. Lots of companies spend more money on marketing, trying to get our money, than on the actually product/service. Effectively we are paying half the time for other people to make us buy stuff! Happy happy joy joy! |

Even if he were to knock these out on nice paper in small sizes they could look great in a child's room.... 10% on each sale to me Plip? oh, can you put glitter on the ape?

OK its not exactly urban but what do you think of it?
Released a couple of days ago, the large (1.5x1.2m!) already sold out.
I think its the best thing he's done in ages and a nice progression of the spot theme...
