DOLK "Prisoner" Print, by manchestermike on Jan 8, 2008 11:18:30 GMT 1, No issue with the prices PUD... The subject material I'm not overly keen on... what have been his last few releases:
Dead pig in blood with unnecessary explanatory text
Star Wars print with unnecessary explanatory text
Girl with Dolk Tag
Floating monkey on the banana phone
Prisoner with Dolk tag
Absolutely none of them say anything to me... nothing at all. I see what you mean by fun print, but if I want to spend ยฃ90 + P&P + Tax on something fun I'll go to the pub and get leathered...
It'd, like his others, never get on the wall, as there is much better (in my opinion of course) work around that says something to me and/or looks miles better...
I've obviously touched a nerve with a few people who have jumped in and bought one and then come on expecting us all to be having a tug over it... well sorry, I'm going to say what I think...

DOLK "Prisoner" Print, by seidbereit on Jan 8, 2008 11:18:50 GMT 1, Hmmm... is one of these comments going to be substantiated anytime soon or are they all going to be as off-hand as they've been up to now. I don't know enough about Dolk's older stuff to be able to judge where/when he's aped a Banksy but I'd be interested in seeing something that would point in that direction.  smacks a bit of it
Hmmm.... whilst I see what you did there.... dear me... is that it? The only similarity is the body position. Other than that it's not the same thing at all!

Oh yeah, you're right!  It looked a bit like a clown's shoe at first sight.

Like you Mike, just offering an opinion, I aint pushed the button on this one for the reason you stated, this one does'nt actually say anything, but no doubt the quality of the printing process HMP use and the 'fun' nature of the subject and the reasonable price will see it sell out pretty quick!
Just bought an original from neverwork, so my money is spent this month!! ;D

Similar idea from Dolk, but far more poorly executed. It says absolutely nothing to me... but each to their own and I'm sure some will like it...
For someone that can do such good street work his prints always seem to miss the target for me, some more than others

I'm in complete agreement. It seems they just lack actual thought; seems like Dolk picks a subject but doesn't TAKE it anywhere... ever.

I have to agree with you on this one , i do like dolk but feel this one would just not make the wall and would stay unframed for some time cash is short at this time and i can only afford to get stuff i would like to have on the wall and not to have in the folder waiting to get framed , but I'm sure when i have more cash again to spend on art, i will be looking on ebay for one , Dolk stuff seems to be going for around cost price . and for ยฃ90 + p&p + tax it all puts the prices up. i think its hard for us all to agree , but its good to see what other people think about it !
peace

DOLK "Prisoner" Print, by dslug on Jan 8, 2008 12:22:09 GMT 1, I think it's great. What's the problem with the Dolk tag? Nothing "wrong" - I just don't see why he has to plaster his name over everything. It's understandable on the streets, but unnecessary in print. It's not as bad on this print, but it totally ruined the Girl With Teddy print. Might just be vanity I suppose. But I for one am glad it's not something that happens all over - Rude Copper with BANSKY tag on his helmet? Bomb Hugger with tagged bomb... thank f**k no...
vive la differance!!
Its a shame that people cant give an honest opinion without getting negged.
People here are far to sensitive and need to realise that someone not liking something doesnt make that something less valid.

DOLK "Prisoner" Print, by Joe J on Jan 8, 2008 12:44:04 GMT 1, I bought one... Add to the growing Dolk collection. I'm very happy with the print.
The quality no doubt will be as good as Zooicide.
90GBP plus postage and then currency conversion into Aussie Dollars... OUCH that hurt.
But I'm happy.

Only joking by the way!

DOLK "Prisoner" Print, by leumasdarnley on Jan 8, 2008 14:10:34 GMT 1, I think in almost all of Dolk's pieces that are decent the image says something GWT, Zooiside are good examples of that. This one reminds me of Che and it says nothing but look at me I'm Dolk.... Cool idea but since I already went on the 22.00 postage ride with Zooiside I guess I have to pass.

Yeah maybe I can relate to the print PUD.
Its hard to think you Pommies would throw us out to a place like this. Did you Poms hope the sharks would get us if we tried escaping off the Island?
Ahh Bondi... You can see my apartment in this shot.
Have a +1 from me PUD, I had a good laugh at that comment. Thank you.

I think Girl With Dolk Tag Teddy says something yes, but the image is ruined by the tag. Zooicide says nothing to me, nor this one...

DOLK "Prisoner" Print, by slacker on Jan 8, 2008 17:36:34 GMT 1, i really like it and think it'll look cracking alongside my zooicide (levitating monkey on a banana telephone) print but i don't think people should be getting negged for expressing their opinion about it.
think this one will probably take a bit longer to sell out than the last couple of dolks.

hmmmm, i dont know.
Mike did not like the zooicide print and that sold out pretty quickly (although not pretty quickly by POW standards) and i believe this is the better print of the two..

DOLK "Prisoner" Print, by leumasdarnley on Jan 8, 2008 17:41:00 GMT 1, IMO Zooiside is about a monkey or any caged animal that if they could think would probably want to kill themselves the monkey who could think a bit more than most tried but he only found a banana. So it does say something this says I am a criminal who has to wear a dolk jump suit maybe he is throwing the ball over a bridge in hopes of cooler digs in hell?

who said he was a criminal?
He may just be a man who wants to be a zebra and knows that he will just never be one; he just feels like a caged beast trapped inside a mans body and thus wants to throw his ball over the bridge in the hope that it will give him eternal peace.
..and that he will go to donkey (zebra) heaven!
