kinda interesting how all the images are 2003/2005, maybe theres a backlog and there'll be loads of dolk prints

didnt get anything - doesnt take me fancy

i love his stuff but the two prints on his site seem to be old as they are dated 2003 and the canvasses are 2005. Lets see the new stuff

Would like a print or canvas of girl with teddybear, i think its stunning. very jealous of the Forum members who got one of those.

Im sure he is listening The way the canvases sold out must have made it clear its a very popular image ;D

Totally agree Silky

Dolk's stencil style, although similar to Banksy's in many respects, is really distinctive. I'm a big fan!

I totally agree that he has some awesome images in the locker and there's going to be some stunning prints to come.

It's been mentioned before, but my only real criticism of Dolk's work is the way he places his tag and other lettering. I bought the Officer Down image today, which I think is great. Though, I have to admit I would like it even more without the text in the image. I find that the text unnecessarily draws your eye. To title the image "Officer down" would have been sufficient for me. Similarly, the Girl With Teddy Bear canvas is absolutely stunning, but would have been even better IMO if the Dolk tag was placed more discreetly.

DOLK for PRESIDENT!!!

Right on, Jay!!!! The country would be pretty for once!

You'd need a revolution first my American friends. Still doing the Royalty thing in Norway

Officer Down makes me smile.

But please, can we get a general agreement never to release another Star Wars themed poster? NEVER AGAIN!

I agree jjoschi44 -- the only criticism (and it's very small) is that Dolk doesn;t need to use the lettering/words in his pieces -- I am your father would be even better IMO without the text as with officer down. But forget all that -- he is an absolute champion. Can't beat him right, AB?!!

This is what HMP have to say on the matter

'Tax and customs
Please be aware of the customs regulations that apply to the country you are ordering to. Prizes on this page are all ex. VAT.
The 5% art tax is a tax that apply to all original artworks valued at more than 2000 NOK (ca. £ 180), sold to or from or within Norway. The money goes to an art fund for supporting young artists in Norway.'

Not exactly clear to me, but seems possible.

You can say that again!!!! ;D

Personally, I don't mind the lettering/words... but when I think about it, with officer down, without the words it'll just be 3 police blokes staring down at a dead red pig. It would be a bit hard to get, no? Without the words, people can interpret it as "Barbeque time", or "Luau time", or something

When you look at Dolk's work in terms of street art though, it's really hard not to compare him to Banksy. This guy is just right on the money... his execution is so sharp and crisp... and his concepts are just witty as hell, yet original (most of the time) and distinctively different from Banksy. This man is my gawd!!!!

(Did I mention I'm a huuuuuuge Dolk fan?) ;D

AB - are you perhaps a Dolk Fan?

I'm a big fan too and completely agree with most of what you've said. Though will stick with my comments re Dolk's placement of tags and lettering. Visually the placement of the lettering is just too intrusive for me and in many cases simply unnecessary.

In terms of risk of confusion, I like having to ponder what the narrative or message of a piece is. Plus you can title the image on the website, no need to include it on the print.

Don't know - just a feeling.
