Boot Sale, by tobomoore on Aug 10, 2009 13:41:59 GMT 1, After visiting the Banksy exhibition in Bristol I was thinking about how he comes up with so many ideas and trying to think of one of my own. An idea came to me after reading about more of our troops being killed due to our government not providing them with the right equipment. I knocked up a rough version in Photoshop and have added it here.
Im not an artist, and the only painting ive ever done is a bit of painting and decorating in my house. What I was wondering is, if the 'concept' is any good ie the title and the sentiment behind it, whether someone more talented could take the idea and create something that could possibly be sold to raise money for the Help for Heroes fund. Obviously the bigger 'name' the better as it would raise more money. I have sent the idea to POW and Pestcontrol in some vain hope that the main man might get to read it but no response.
This may be a stupid idea but just thought id get it out of my system :-)

Boot Sale, by tobomoore on Aug 10, 2009 14:23:08 GMT 1, My intention is not to ask for a critique of the picture. What I was suggesting was that if it was a reasonable idea/concept, someone could take it, improve on it, and hopefully raise some money for the charity.

Boot Sale, by tobomoore on Aug 10, 2009 15:32:11 GMT 1, thanks - but dont think a print by some bloke with a rudimentiary knowledge of photoshop is going to raise much for the charity :-) Apart from my mum, I dont think anyone would buy one. !!
Was hoping that one of the far more talented visitors to this board would like the concept, not the picture necessarily, and produce something that would be desirable and raise money for the cause.

Boot Sale, by seba on Aug 10, 2009 15:52:59 GMT 1, I personally don´t think that soldiers are heroes and I wouldn´t support the SUN´s campaign "Help for Heroes".
I hope Banksy or Pow will never support any campaign like that. Actually I´m pretty sure they won´t, as all charities they supported so far (that i know from) were chosen very well.

Boot Sale, by tobomoore on Aug 10, 2009 21:46:51 GMT 1, Denzil - thanks for that. But im not an artist and have no intention of being one. Just thought it was a cool concept highlighting the way our government keep sending troops into stupid, unecessary wars without even giving them decent equipment. If help for heroes is the wrong charity, maybe theres a better one, and if it was picked up an established artist to develop the concept it could raise a few quid.
