You just said it so yourself, Invader is more creative. The other guy is just another Banksy alternative. The reason why Dolk prints are going for mad money is because of the lack of affordable Banksy prints in the market. What makes Dolk different from the other Norwegian stencil artists? Is it because he was the pioneer in that country?

I see one who made his own style of street art and the other making a killing from the lack of available works from Banksy.

I have no fight in this. I have works by both artist. I like Invader because the art is just part of the whole experience. Visiting a new city where Invader tagged the streets and using the Invasion map is the bigger experience.

Peace brother, let's agree that Invader is my preference as well.

As this thread was already hijacked... this argument where Dolk is successful because Banksy doesnt have affordable prints or isnt releasing prints, is more than inaccurate it just shows a lack of reasonable thought - bandwaggoner!

Even if Banksy released 5 prints this year Dolk would have sold out his latest prints... probably even at 150 GBP more each. He has a fan base and even if this whole board hates every single print Dolk releases, there are hundreds (most likely thousands) of people apparently who like it and will purchase it (hopefully because they like it and want to hang it). What makes him different probably is talent or his ability to relate to people through images he creates.

By your logic... why aren't Blek le Rat's pieces selling out... he is a pioneer in this genre and his prints are low editions and cheaper than Dolk... and Banksy still hasnt released anything. There are probably at least 10 other artists that could be lumped in this horrible argument that holds no water.  

Judging artists by who is more creative... well that is completely subjective and individual perceptions. Who would care to hear everyone's opinion on that even if this is a discussion board, unless you just want/need to hear yourself speak.
