Is it just me or have things really gone down hill since 2015? 

I don't want to step on anybody's toes, but I'd do it for £250 and a plate of food. I'm very discreet and I do not disturb proceedings or get in the way of guests, as I normally draw from the bushes, that kind of thing.

Love these kind of drawings ! If I can permit myself, I was wondering a moment if you were not Mr Bingo or it’s bro ! Yeps really ! Phantasms …

what is the red dice in monopoly for

Hi,

I am selling a small original (20cm x 14.5cm) felt pen on paper by Mr Doodle.

It is from 2015, therefore it's signed as The Doodle Man.

Sold with COA issued by the artist.

Photo available via DM.

Looking for offers in the region of 3000£

Based in London.

Thanks

I can also accept a trade

Are there still boy racers in Dartford? That one way system was a bit of a race track.

I would consider Mr Doodle to be largely irrelevant as an artist.

That said, his marketing skills are excellent.

He certainly created a very media‑friendly and unthreatening, kooky identity for himself. In the process, he has also become somewhat of a pop‑culture and art‑market (as opposed to artistic) phenomenon.

Who knows how long his commercial success will last?

Style tends to distract or blind. And, at least in the short term, it can often be more seductive than substance.



In this respect, I would draw a parallel with Mr Brainwash.

The latter is another character who succeeded in capturing the imagination of (in my view) an undiscerning critical mass of collectors — one that was also happy to buy easily‑digestible, sappy art.

In both cases, the public focus arguably remains more on the likeable cartoonish personas of the artists, than on the formulaic, derivative nature of their actual output as artists.

The issues with this sale are nevertheless of interest to me.

They're comparable to the ones raised when a speculator bought the Faile Tower at Faile's 2010 Bedtime Stories show in New York, broke it up, and began selling the component parts separately.*



stylewars makes a compelling point about the need for authentication by Mr Doodle.

However, the easily‑copied nature of this work would only be of secondary concern if I were looking to make a purchase, because I have no serious reason to doubt it was created by the hand of the artist.



More problematic is the fact that, unless expressly and officially confirmed otherwise, this is not a Mr Doodle artwork and shouldn't be described or implied as such.

Rather, it is but one of many small sections of what was originally a much larger, single artwork. What was originally the complete artwork in its entirety.



But the overall whole was later cut into little pieces. And, presumably, this was done neither by Mr Doodle himself nor at his direction.

Some random third party will have thus usurped the prerogative of the artist. By chopping up the art, they:

(i)  altered its size, layout and composition; and

(ii)  changed its entire meaning (provided we can assume Mr Doodle's art has meaning).


__________


If I were the artist, I'd consider the original artwork to have been destroyed the very moment its integrity was compromised.

The separated smaller pieces are not, and were never meant to be, "artworks" in their own right with standalone compositions.

It wouldn't surprise me if Mr Doodle had therefore already disavowed them.





Would it be correct to assume that you (or one of your colleagues) have already reached out to Mr Doodle about these chopped‑up pieces?

Perhaps hoping he might officially recognise them in their newly diminished state, and even authenticate each of them as separate works of art created by him?

If so, this would be relevant information of importance to any potential buyer — and my guess would be that the artist either:

(a)  declined to authenticate; or

(b)  didn't even bother to reply.

met: Honest question for discussion: can an artist make "art" out of another artists' work? Supreme Court decisions about Andy Warhol prints aside...

MSCHF took a Hirst woodcut, chopped the 88 spots out, and sold them individually. The sold the empty skeleton. Got over 10x the cost of the original piece. (https://severedspots.com). I think they sell for well over issue on secondary. Not my cup of tea, but given I own an edition of the original print they cut up, might be an option for financial support in my retirement...

I was offered the opportunity a few years back (by a somewhat reputable gallery, to the extent they exist) to be one of 10 folks to contribute $10K to buying a signed Banksy, turn it in to and NFT, and then burn it and sell the NFT. Convert the physical in to the digital. Phoenix from the ashes. I dunno. Hard pass for me. They doubled their money. Which means somebody lost a lot of money in the purchase.

Both of the above are obviously money grabs. But does that exclude them from being "art". Maybe more performance art...

Re: Brainwash...I was in Park City last week, and his stuff is in every gallery (being the town where "Exit Through The Gift Shop" was released). I explained to my kids that MBW is for people with lots of money and no taste. To which my daughter astutely replied "But dad, we have like 3 huge Brainwashes in the house..."

Sounds like I need some Mr. Doodle as well.

Looking,
