Billy Childish 🇬🇧 Print Release • Show News • Art For Sale, by Daniel Silk on Jun 2, 2017 20:26:47 GMT 1, Childish is a lot more than an artist - punk, garage musician, poet, photographer, film maker, author and advocate of amateurism and free expression. These are his nod to anti-political flyposting. If only he'd release them as an open edition for anyone to paste up on the streets. Yeah, would be much better just done as a free download, so people of the same views can print them up and share if they want.

Billy Childish 🇬🇧 Print Release • Show News • Art For Sale, by everyoneowes on Jun 2, 2017 20:30:59 GMT 1, In some respects not that dissimilar to Donwood's Farrow & Ball releases.

Billy Childish 🇬🇧 Print Release • Show News • Art For Sale, by Deleted on Jun 2, 2017 20:48:49 GMT 1, Billy Childish is a great artist, but what really is the point of things like these? I mean I find it hard to believe they actually sell any, so it's just basically a political rant.
I just think it's a shame to see what was a great gallery and great artists producing things like this.
What do you think?
Completely agree, well said

Billy Childish 🇬🇧 Print Release • Show News • Art For Sale, by Coach on Jun 2, 2017 21:39:29 GMT 1, I'm afraid I can't agree. They are political posters. They are angry and rightly so. Do people buy them. Sure. I bought a couple from the release a while ago. Should they be free? I don't think so. He's got to eat, pay bills etc. They aren't particularly expensive (well the ones I bought weren't). People who don't like them don't have to buy them, and won't. I hope he keeps it up. I hope they get angrier - the world needs voices like this. Childish power!

Billy Childish 🇬🇧 Print Release • Show News • Art For Sale, by Masong on Jun 2, 2017 21:50:30 GMT 1, I just see them as art pushing an opinion. I like to make my own decisions. And of course that's just my own opinion. The worlds full of dicks in charge, we just have to pick the one that was the lesser of a dick at the time, which of course doesn't always work out hence this kind of art.

Of course. And inevitably you and I will be drawn to political art that rings true for us, and be pushed away from art that doesn't tally with our views. As an artist we can only expect him to represent his own views.

I totally agree..As an example, I really love Peter Kennards Photo Op which to me is massively powerful in its meaning but I just couldn't bring myself to have that t**t on my wall regardless of my political views.

Pleased we agree. Only difference is that I accept that I will have people I disagree with on my wall, in the context of a political artwork. Photo Op is on my wall.

Billy Childish 🇬🇧 Print Release • Show News • Art For Sale, by Masong on Jun 2, 2017 22:41:12 GMT 1, ]Maybe Kennard will be able to release a more up to date version incorporating Trump or May the way things are heading. I wouldn't be putting those on my wall either....I must admit though,it is the one image that I have hovered over purchasing the most out of every image I have ever seen so it's certainly left a mark... For a print I don't own that's pretty good going

Oh.. The monetary value ? I don't think he gives a shít of that... Just throwing his guts, what every artist should do.

Yes lost in translation. Just saying many will revel in how good he was when he is gone, I am not wishing that, I am just saying that he us a great talent now , I have 3 of his very rare early woodcuts and live his whole ethos.

Daniel Silk thanks for the heads up, can you post the link where to get them?
Thiese are why I like art... you should do a forum poll asking who we'd like one done of next. Maybe a forum commission?
I'm already calling the series poopaganda!

To get a political point of view out and seen, wouldn't it have been better as a free download or a cheap £5 poster?

Totally agree, not sure how you can call it a political statement for £113. these guys want all the protesting of their youth and heyday, but also need their 4 bedroom houses in hampstead. Power to the people and all that.

He probably couldn't care less if anyone buys it. He lives in the same house he's always lived in, in Chatham Kent.

True but Childish has done his time and so why shouldn't he make a bit of cash?

Agree though I grabbed one for the kids room!!
Though I think with childish all these are more of a statement. It has certainly made us speak about it and why not add a price just in case anyway is that aggro enough to buy one? A bonus for him!
