Agreed Darren. Different for me only having seeen online pf course, but that was my reaction too. Made me smile, but not special enough to buy. As it happens, these prints were mentioned in another thread last week. I think it was the "Let the show open" thread (or something like that) about the pet shop opening.

I liked the show very much but not enough people can make money out of him so you'll not see much comment here. Very sad.

I bought myself a couple of the mini-cells and think they look great. I've always thought it a bit unfair that Tom (from Tom & Jerry) always ended up losing so i really like these! I think Jimmy Cauty always does nice work and these are certainly no exception.

Didn't the Simpsons do this years ago?
Such a tired idea!

^ He's a true artist. I love his work too, but these seem very off form to me.

No one talking about Cauty?

I have a canvas from Simon Cauty on the way ;D does that count? I will post photos when it arrives

i think it's a bit tired, and agree the closing down for months at a time doesnt seem to do any favours

Good points guys. And yeah, this is really not too different to Itchy and Scratchy, EXCEPT that by using iconic/classical cartoon characters and reversing their roles, it does ad an extra dimension of humour. But as Angel41 says, a quick smile, although fun and positive, doesn't have any real depth and I struggle to find any real artistic originality there. The characters are not his own, the style is not his own, the idea is not his own and even the final outcome is not original. All I can find there of any merit, is a slight twist on a tried and tested product/theme which, imo is not wall-worthy, or come to that, not show-worthy either - So maybe that's why noone's talking about Cauty! His work is not the strongest these days. Like I say nice to look at in the moment perhaps, but after a week on your wall, what will they offer? Why any accolades?

I take it back. This one item on the website has made it for me!

"Senior Deluxe Membership

Just like the regular membership except it comes with a BROWNING HI POWER MKI AUTOMATIC PISTOL beautifully customised by the artists.

Please Note: This offer, and any subsequent sale is fully compliant with UK Gun Law and as such should be treated with respect as a conceptual work of art.

Price: £10,000.00"

That's funny.

I've got a couple of Cauty prints, but haven't seen anything recently that's made me want to buy anymore. You can't knock his prices though, the guy makes sure his work is affordable which is great when you consider the over-inflated prices of some of the other prints out there.

Hey Weaver, I like that cockroach piece top left. Who's that by ;D
