Great marketing! £32 for a kids picture - get next doors kid to draw you some and buy them a 50p mix-up in return! Think ar lass has some of her lads from a few years ago - for you £20 each.
I know anything you don't like is crap......... .....but do you seriously think a child could produce those pictures? Seriously? By the way they're lights.
RE: I know anything you don't like is crap......... At what point did I say they were crap. And of course a child could produce those pictures - that's when they have greatest free expression before it gets reigned in.
But the original and often imitated. Is a northerner, Mackenzie Thorpe. Speaking as a smug owner of 9 of his works.... Check out http://www.mackenzie-thorpe.net/ His "Game of Life" stuff is just the best, especially - "Don't worry, we'll win next time Dad" Check out http://www.football-rumours.com/mackenziethorpe.html Rich A (under a Cork derivative pseudonym)
You don't like them so they must be. Have you actually looked at them? Bring me a child with that level of technical ability and I'll get you on telly. Maybe art just isn't your thing eh?

Like it. A few years ago my mate showed me an opportunity to get in on a little known artist by the name of Jack Vettriano. They were going for about £20,000. £20 chuffin 000. I don't know if that would have included royalties from the prints but I still don't like to think about it. Eyup Rich.
The thing about art such as beauty. It's in the eye of the beholder. The inference that 'if you don't get it, then you're not clever enough' is what makes people sound incredibly pretentious when discussing art. Maybe they are? who knows. Tracy what's her face that pisses on a bed. Art or B*ll*cks. To me, B*ll*cks. I don't think that makes me thick though.
RE: Like it. Eyup Windy The wife bought Mackenzie Thorpe's when he had his studio in Richmond. His originals went for £200 to £400. I gave out big time to her for doing it. They now go for anyhting from £3000 to £10000 depending on which one..... The signed limited edition prints go for up to £1000 plus !!! Yanks like him.... Cheers Rich
You've completely missed the point. The images may be child-LIKE. But no way does a child have the technical abilty neccessary to produce them. I don't give a **** who else enjoys looking at them or whether they consider it to be art. The art world is 80% populated by cynical charlatans. Roundsman got me that figure.
I normally do but you don't 'have' to like something in particular for your opinion to count do you? Personally I wouldn't have child-like pictures on the wall in my house, because 'I' think I'd rather have child like pictures drawn by my own child*. They'd certainly hold much more emotional value to me and there actual value wouldn't matter. If you get what I mean. *this is based on the assuption that my sperm count is high enough in the future.. Art is weird from my point of view, I look at Van Gough and think it's crap, but I like monet. Van Gough was madder then mad jack mcmad, his paintings reflect it and I don't like the result. To me, it's almost like trading in weaved baskets during the asylum days (in my opinion). I went to an art exhibition at Parkhurst Prison Officers club many years ago. Art by convicts. very disturbing, but not necessarily good brush work. That was when Parkhurst was category A. Also Dali needed to turn his heating down, the twit. I never said twit you T*ats..
RE: You don't like them so they must be. Art is my thing - but like many things it is very subjective. So I can go in an art gallery and stroll right through a few rooms just glancing until something really catches my eye. Notmuch aof a fan of modern art though, prefer 17-1800's. Favourite artist is Goya. And yes - they mirror kids paintings.
I didn't say he had to like it. And you're doing it on purpose now. I love having my daughter's pictures on my walls but Salvati's work is a different thing entirely. BTW my sister locks Charles Bronson up. They get along well and he keeps offering her his pictures but she can't take them because they're of financial value. I think Salvador Dali was technically brilliant but a complete tw@.
RE: I didn't say he had to like it. I loved him in death wish 3. bedum tshh. Anyway, of course I'm doing it on purpose. For some reason you're the light and I'm the moth. No actually I'm better, so you're the moth.. and I'm the child like illuminated wall hanging...
