Some nice works in the auction, the Star Wars budda would look great outdoor by my pool.. Looks like it will fetch a high price.

yeah its a 1off


at a guess I think the size is around 900mm x 1500mm but when I get home I will double check size

For quick sale I would take £700 for this original

You do know the OP posted this thread close to 4yrs ago. 

Anyone got 'Woman with spray can'
'Woman with mushroom cloud'
'Stormtrooper walking the queen's corgis'
'Queen walking At At walker'
'Random b/w image with a splash of colour'

Or, also looking to buy any photoshopped and traced images of girls with bombs, spray cans, babies as hand grenades etc, just cant seem to find any of this rare genre of valuable art.

I have this version of it (diamond dust knickers) and I think it's pretty cool! Admittedly it's maybe not a print for the lounge but certainly one for the bedroom!

Your reply raises a number of interesting and discrete points, which I'll address individually:


1.  My definition of "keyboard warrior comments" would be those made behind a screen which the author would not dare make in person. Such comments are regrettable yet pervasive. Anonymity (or just partial anonymity) can bring out the worst in people if they sense they won't be held accountable for what they write. The internet creates a space where the petty and cowards can truly thrive.

In case it's being suggested that my earlier comments were keyboard warrior-ish, this would be inaccurate.

All of my posts are drafted on the assumption they'll be read by loved ones, peers and potential employers. Similarly, there is nothing I put down in writing that would make me uncomfortable if mentioned to the addressee(s) face-to-face.

What I wrote above is therefore the same as what I'd say to you, leighdrive or dizzle22 if we were having a chat over a pint after work. I might express myself with earnestness or by taking the piss — and I'd expect the same candour or ribbing in return from anyone whose opinions were at variance with my own.


2.  Although the point was recently made in a separate thread, the fact a post may be harsh is irrelevant. An issue only exists if that post is too harsh, i.e. unfair and/or poorly thought-through. But I don't believe my remarks about the Hutch image, Rollergirl, fall outside the scope of fair commentary.


3.  Whether an artwork or artist is popular is also distinct from whether they're actually any good.

For emphasis, Mr. Brainwash, Martin Whatson and JJ Adams are popular artists. Each of them has sold a frightening amount of their respective products. One lesson here is that mediocrity and cluelessness sometimes do triumph, at least in the short to medium term.


4.  It is certainly for the better if the art on your wall doesn't cause those you care about to think less of you.


5.  By "that guy", I was referring to anybody displaying signs of arrested development. What may be clever or amusing to an adolescent often seems less so by the time they reach their mid-20s. And teenage wet-dream material isn't what I'd wish to be associated with.

For me, an example of "that guy" would be someone with a hentai illustration as their forum avatar. Likewise with anybody using a gif of Kate Upton dancing in her bikini. Or the chap who wears a t-shirt emblazoned with the text, Sex Instructor – First Lesson Free. That sort of thing.

Whilst your view will no doubt differ, I place Rollergirl in the same category. And this is part of the beauty of art — we can share the same experience together, while remaining firmly in disagreement. The viewpoints of other people, especially random online strangers, don't need to matter.


6.  The express reference to Boogie Nights was for the benefit of those who may be unfamiliar with the film and/or the earlier roles of Heather Graham. [Hat tip to fans of Drugstore Cowboy. Knowing nod if, on occasion, you still listen to Kings of the Wild Frontier.] I suspect that will apply to a few younger members in particular, given the movie was released 22 years ago.


7.  Although I still consider the image embarrassing, if anyone remains interested in Rollergirl, check out Hutch's website. Two artist proofs (in addition to a regular edition of 10) on cradled birch panel (50 x 50 x 1.8 cm) are available for £300.00 apiece:

Hutch has some nice pieces available on his store at the moment, and very reasonable prices as well.
