Rourke Vandal prints, by pkt75 on Nov 13, 2007 12:27:15 GMT 1, I've jus Pre ordered 'Divine Intervention' and 'Taxman", Both stunning Images. I think he's one day gonna be up there on the top with all our other favourites and his Novermber releases are gonna be sought after classics. I only wish I had 400 Quid spare to get all 4. Get your orders in IMO.
Does anyone else feel similar?

There is already a separation happening of wheat and chaff... witness recent Mantis prices... will anyone buy the next Elliot print etc etc...
As much as it would be nice to see an artist who so actively contributes to the forum like Rourke does succeed I think he will remain, very much in the small time, especially at ยฃ100 per print

A brutal but fair comment.

Rourke Vandal prints, by pkt75 on Nov 13, 2007 13:05:21 GMT 1, I think his patriotic and typical british humour shines strong in his work as does his technique. British Art is proving very popular as we all know and i think Vandal is gonna be a part of it. And if not, so what. I'm jus lovin his november releases.

Rourke Vandal prints, by shogun on Nov 13, 2007 13:05:46 GMT 1, to succeed now you've gotta that extra level... I'm not seeing that with the majority of new artists at the mo'. Nobody seems to be thinking out of the box...Just my 2 pence worth.
Artists that will be or are big have their own style and flare.
The artist about to hit the real big time next will probably be Matt Small because of his ideosyncratic style.

And that's the main thing... as long as you love it then it doesn't matter what happens to the price. Like I said, hopefully with support from you and fans like you he does well as he seems a good sort. Good luck to him...

Rourke Vandal prints, by harrymay07 on Nov 13, 2007 13:09:38 GMT 1, That is also a fair comment. Rourke's prints are affordable, they look fine, so if you've the wallspace and your after a bargain, then yes, why not. But if your walls are already full and your looking for something unique or special, then you'll probably pass on these. Seems reasonable?

Rourke Vandal prints, by pkt75 on Nov 13, 2007 13:16:37 GMT 1, I think these are unique. Besides the american/war thing which everyone is doing at the mo, this set of Vandal releases are less serious and a little camp which some 'gezzer' types may not see or like if they do see.

Rourke Vandal prints, by Suit on Nov 13, 2007 13:46:29 GMT 1, I would love to see a few more of his industrial pieces, even if they don't quite fit into this scene. I also think the level of detail that goes into his work sets him a apart from a large number of the other artists on discussed on this forum.

Rourke Vandal prints, by Deleted on Nov 13, 2007 13:55:43 GMT 1, imo the 4 prints that are being released are top quality and from the one print i have seen framed in the get your banksy out section look even better hanging on a wall. i am sure that Rourke Vandal is going to have a fine career as an artist, the talent is obvious to see. who gives a fuck about the secondary market if you like/love the images.

When you mention 'Secondry MKT', if your talkin about my comment about these being sought after, I meant in the way we may wish we had got them whilst we could and not to make money from them in the future. Just to clear that up mate!

Hey mike, Do you think I negged you 4 your opinion and then you neg me in response. If so, look elsewhere. It was'nt me.

No mate... I don't think it was you, I was making the point in general. I don't think you'd do that... I can see how you may think I'm saying that, but I was just making the point in general - if people keep doing it, no-one will answer or eventually ask questions which may prompt debate.
I like this thread in the main, it is good to talk about art/artists and what people think of them... nothing wrong with healthy, reasoned debate... if those people who sat there pressing their minus button with one hand while their other is wrapped round their dick actually spent that time contributing then this forum would be a much better place

Rourke Vandal prints, by gozgoz on Nov 13, 2007 17:54:09 GMT 1, I think his art doesnt do it for me like how micallef and james cauty doesnt do it for me because its too in-your-face-oh-im-being-anti-capitalist-corporate-big-money-anti-war-styley. And this has become too formulaic for me.
I dont deny there is a lot of skill and execution involved but conceptually, to me, its as tired as a f**k bush tee shirt......
Im just about to snap if i see another person slapping a Mickeymouse and a Macdonalds sign and a peace sign together with some guns and Jesus.

I hear wot ur saying, tho personally I dont have many prints in my collection which are 'anti-war-styley' so i'm yet to be fed up of it. Not to take anything away from your valid point may I add...

Rourke Vandal prints, by gozgoz on Nov 13, 2007 18:08:59 GMT 1, yeah maybe its cos i dont really like this anti-war-bush theme in the first place.
thats probably why i dont like Shephard Fairey's stuff too... I went to the Stolenspace gallery and as big as the gallery was and as jaw dropping some of the big canvases were, i felt instantly bored by the first 10 mins. it was the same theme and colour scheme again and again and again... and how many times do i have to see a picture of someone hugging/holding a bomb/gun wearing a facemask/gasmask/terrorist scarf.
(ok, i dissssed obey, cauty, micallef and rourke in my two postings. Im bracing myself for some intense negging.)
but yeah, no offence to the artists, execution and skill good/great. but conceptually, lets get over this guys, lets try to do something different now.

Rourke Vandal prints, by pkt75 on Nov 13, 2007 18:22:04 GMT 1, wot sets these prints aside than most, is that even with the anti-war concept they make you smile. Theres humour within the message. Not many anti-war prints that i know about make you smile when you see them. Smiling for all the right reasons BTW.

Rourke Vandal prints, by gozgoz on Nov 13, 2007 18:24:32 GMT 1, understand totally what your saying gozgoz.but maybe some artists dont want to get over it, its someting they beleive strongly in and want to get their point across through their art, they might have families that are or have been at war. And its a pretty important message to some each to their own though
thats a good point. i never saw it that way.
