Cartrain ๐ฌ๐ง Tate Gallery โข Damien Hirst โข Gilbert & George, by carlito on May 16, 2008 12:50:26 GMT 1, how is he well known though? through a forum or hitting spots where banksy has done before. infamous? Visit to London and take a look  don't just believe the crap other people say. He must be the most prolific stencil artist by far! 
prolific unfortunately doesn't make him good...I see his stuff everyyday

Not only the images, but the price to match.
For me, ยฃ250 is far to high for an artists first release!

Certainly one for the future 
Are you doing his mam?

I've been waiting for that line...
I honestly believe that the best thing we can do for this kid is to tell it like it is. Hopefully he will then go and have a long hard think and possibly, just possibly, come back with something worthwhile.

The kid may have some talent, but let's not over-state this. A long way to go in improving and perhaps a deal to sell canvasses for him should have come a little further down the line.
I certainly don't think these are anywhere good enough to be sold/touted at ยฃ250 a pop.
You see the difference in quality when you look at these and Grafter's 'charity' canvas.
And before you tell me how old Cartrain is, it's irrelevant now that he/galleries are saying he's good enough to compete with others and sell pieces at these prices.

Agreed. Made me go back and edit some of my previous comments as that summed it all up really.

There are several other artists offering work in the same approx. price bracket, Grafter being one, although you could name Dog-Byte, SPQR and many others in the same breath, with the vital difference being the originality of the others and their technical ability and attention to execution. I mean, if you look closely at the lollipop lady one (in fact you don't really have to look that close), the sign which should be round has hints of little corners, for 250 pounds that should not be the quality on offer.

Cartrain ๐ฌ๐ง Tate Gallery โข Damien Hirst โข Gilbert & George, by Montubu7 on May 16, 2008 13:34:24 GMT 1, I should add its fair play to cartrain getting his work out on the street at such an early age but think he needs to hone his style & skill out there before doing deals with galleries to sell work @ a premium price.
Its worth mentioning that SPQR started slowly with much cheaper work and as he worked his skills up & built a fanbase his prices only increased in line with what people were willing to pay, i cannot see the market for this work at this price.
Cartrain could very well growinto something special but i think he needs to use the street as his artbook a little while longer & getting his stuff up away from banksy street work should really be a must!

no worries over the art itself, but lets get reasonable ยฃ100 a pop for the canvas, i mean at ยฃ250 as canvas what are you gonna ask for a print...ยฃ125...I think not, not yet anyway!!

just remember cartrain posting something along those lines early on...now if banksy's your uncle can you get him to spray a bit more up my way, a couple of stencils in Glasgow just doesnt cut the mustard
