i rarely slate artists on this board save for the odd cartrain or EINE comment. ( i bet Bazz or someone is gonna go dig up all the stuff i said once whilst drunk... damn u bazz! damn u!).

Anyway, im really keen to know the thought process behind this piece. It might be a total coincidence but to me , and i'll be bit blunt here, its almost exactly the same as the Banksy ones in New Orleans with the grey ghost covering up sunflower doodles.

i feel compelled to write this because I was annoyed when i saw it on wooster when it was a wall piece.. but it now doubly annoys me when it is now being sold for money...

And i just want to hear the artist's thoughts behind this.

Im looking now gozgoz, haha , i will leave it.

Hmmm i was actually thinking the same things though , so id have to agree with you , Thing is the print looks like it is done well, good executoin etc etc, But the image is pretty much Banksy, hmmm

hi, someone send me a pic of this new orleans street piece of banksy, one week ago, and i swear, i never saw this work before.

I'd never seen that pic before either, got to give L.E.T the benefit of the doubt, it happens. Only last month I was working on an idea and came across this

plus the graffiti slogan piece was done then too.
I left my idea as a sketch, but if I'd already tried to do more with it I can't say I'd have pulled it off the shelves.

Junta we're on a Banksy forum, if you're selling here it pays to know your target audience and their knowledge (or lack of)

I agree totally benfit of the doubt and that , I was just saying it similar , doesnt mean i dont like it , I actually do , I think it looks good

Junta, that is pretty similar too , Like that too though , but yeah pretty close again , even some the characters used are similar, Good work though

[topboy]

i like it

[jones27]

Its executed well enough. The whole daisey thing gives the game away. Maye the kid could draw some crazy Eine style alphabet.

[junta]

yeah thats why I left it alone, get what I mean? Yes, it pays to know your audience but you can't know everything.
Look all I'm saying is "it happens" and the guy swears he only saw the image a week ago, so I'm taking his word.

no harm done anyway, the world's a better place with a piece than if it had never been created. :-)

ye,thought i had seen all the new orleans pieces bu that one is new to me,like it!

[Karl Read]

I like it, but shouldnt the boy be in front of the guy chopping down the flowers? Or am i missing something?

[menace2sobriety]

isnt the guy chopping them down and the kid behind him drawing more on - cheeky scamp!

I find it hard to believe L.E.T. was unaware of the Banksy piece. That s**t went worldwide when he hit New Orleans! Every graf/art blog picked that up, plus it was talked about on here for a long time, especially bcs of the Fred Radtke stuff....

No disrespect to L.E.T., I love his work! Especially the wrong suit and banana thief pieces!
