Blek Le Rat's Obama, by linkd95 on Nov 30, 2008 16:36:57 GMT 1, To all the Blek fans out there no offence but in my opinion his stuff isnt really that good, his best piece is 'Desert Storm' and then 'Man who walks through wall's' but i wouldnt really que up even an hour before one of his shows to get in, he needs to up his game a bit by doing a few more MULTI-Layered stencils which involves more detail.

Blek Le Rat's Obama, by hero on Nov 30, 2008 16:45:34 GMT 1, yer thats taking it a bit far
i think this isnt one of his best, nor is the dancing guy or the dog..david is by far his best because it really makes a statement-end of the day thats what we are all trying to do, make a statement and make people smile...some artist would say cartrain is using very mainstream and overused ideas in an unoriginal way...i wont say where i am ;D

Blek Le Rat's Obama, by Jef Aerosol on Nov 30, 2008 18:10:01 GMT 1, yep, Shepard did THE Obama poster, true. But Would you burn your guitar only because Hendrix once played Purple Haze ? 
BTW, my Obama is a unique piece on canvas, not a print, and I would never paint dozens of that one... Just my own little tribute to the event...

Blek Le Rat's Obama, by hero on Nov 30, 2008 18:23:21 GMT 1, yeah jimi hendrix played purple haze, but it is different-when you are asking people for money for a picture and the image has been done to the best it could be done, then i would feel bad about people buying it-also you only really get 1 or 2 messages out of an obama, you can get many more off other images ;D

Art doesn't always have to have a point.. if we were all hungry we wouldn't even be thinking about it. Isn't this like a piss take angle of what Warhol did first... even banksy has done it... ie Kate Moss

the last thing blek should do is more multilayered stencils, not his style.

So he should kinda come out a bit of his old style and do some more multi-layered images. |

Controversial I know...
But maybe Blek just wants to do whatever the fuck Blek wants to do, did anyone consider that?

Blek Le Rat's Obama, by dynamixx on Feb 8, 2009 17:24:29 GMT 1, I think the problem with Blek is that he's forged a lucrative career from one Banksy "quote", that he was and is a big source of inspiration, when you only have to look at their work/political leanings to realise this is a total misappropriation. For someone who's been stenciling as long as he has, the lack of progress is quite shocking to watch.

There is no problem with Blek and he was painting at least 10 years before Banksy, so saying that his career is based upon an alleged quote is sheer stupidity. Lots of people like his work.
Man every fucker thinks their an art critic....
