Finished. Billionaires Lives Matter Prints, by Glass-Siren-Studio on Sept 15, 2020 15:19:01 GMT 1, Finally got there!
I'd had a few Dm's on these so i'll contact everyone later today with details once the print run is complete.
This is the first one off the press that just quickly photographed outside.
There are approximately 7 layers of hand applied inks in these. I needed to do this to get the defintion into the background of the prints. They have turned out nicely..... Especially with the metalics on the typography..... I'll try and get some better photographs before the day is out....

I'm not really sure who you're angry at...

Second thread about the same stuff is called spamming: urbanartassociation.com/thread/165747/billionaires-lives-matter
Or is this just a lame attempt at hiding the racist undertone that people have called out, and your comments have confirmed?
Anyway. Lame there. Lame here.

Images can be interpretated in different ways.
It's not up to me to spoon feed you though.

Not at all. I'd tried to update the thread and completey buggered it up so thought i'd do a new one. Which i will update later as i've got another version of it in gold finshed last night as well.... It was raining outside so couldn't do the photographs.
I'm certainly not making any attempt to hide it.... I wouldn't have bothered posting up the finished prints if that was the case would i?.........
btw
Racist undertones? Really? - The image was created to make people THINK.
If you are suggesting i am a racist - i am NOT. I will put you mind at rest there!
It's been fascinating to hear peoples perceptions on this though it has to be said...

THINK.
I think when you appropriate iconic images and terms from a human rights movement then some context is needed.
Will any of the proceeds go to the blm movement?
At the moment there is no difference for me between seeing this and someone wearing a tee that says all lives matter, both I find rather offensive.

You are perfectly entitled to not like the art, but have you also taken into consideration any alternate interpretations that could be made ?
For example, when you think about the fact that
- the majority of people are negatively affected by a global pandemic
- the planet is now constantly on fire
- everyday whole populations are persecuted and displaced
- etc etc etc...
yet in the last few months the total wealth of the top 25 people on this planet (who already own circa 50% of earths riches) has increased by over 220 billion USD (source Oxfam)...
...it's almost as if, in this system, only "Billionaire's lives matter".
I don't like this image ,i find it lacking in depth, execution, aesthetics... but the prerogative of the Artist is to explore and appropriate and create, so I am happy that it exists.
I don't think the BLM movement is in any way affected by it

But my view on this piece is that it is utterly utterly crass. Even if there is some clever point being made, itโs entirely drowned out by the overtones of bad taste and poor syntax, not to mention minimal artistic merit.
