Cheers mate Controling the style more now, its like a massive balancing act, consisting of loads of elements. Was very hard to strink the style down, and still get the same look as the bigger heads.
thanks again, glad you like will be doing more figures

Thanks for the reply and to clarify this is not a personal thing. For what it's worth I think you have genuine ability at presenting an image.
You say that you're using other artists work to develop and learn, however, what did you learn from the Nola rip off? There's no way that there was a significant difference between your version and Banksy's.
As for the head studies, I'd understand it if you were trying out methods to develop your own creations and using Micallef's style to try and develop something of your own. Take it a stage further as it were. However in the interests of integrity I'd have thought that those experiments would be left in the studio and not peddled via a website to create revenue - not when they are so similar in form to the images of another artist.
You've got to sell art to eat, I get it. you will want to emulate other artist's work and try to build on their ideas, I get that too. But when you sell work so very similar to the artist's original work then that doesn't do your talent justice.
For what it's worth I think you need to be honest with yourself and ask whether you want to be known for producing copycat works, or as a serious artist with artistic vision to match your genuine talent.
That's only my opinion Rourke, but it's an honest one.
