Angel is the "worst" of them IMO but think that one will be the most popular and most demanded in time.

I agree.
Angel tagging has way too much yellow!
Yuck!

Good luck for those going for these 2.
You don't have to compete with me, I'm passing on them.


Will we ever get a print edition of Academy?
(My favorite Dolk.)

[madeinnorway]

This is not Dolk at his best, as a member said he needs cash for Christmas. Of the two graf remover is the only one With some quality, Angel sucked on canvas and the print is even worse. I love some of Dolks pieces but he needs get his act together and produce some quality work. Seems he just release prints to get more Money and how about making a proper print, using same prosess like Dot an Pøbel does.

Wtf is the tagging one about. I get the graffiti removal.

you don't get what tagging's about ? how long you been on this board ?

[Deleted]

Dolk : Places tags on tradition,religion and authority ( Self explainatory really)
Martin Whatson : Tags anything and everything ( introduced after seeing his stencils in Oslo getting tagged, he thought he'd get in there first next time, quite clever really)
Banksy : Jungle cats (It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder.. urban jungle anyone?)

Keep in mind, in the "olden" days, people painted what they saw. Landscapes, Churches etc etc. Introducing graff markings/tagging etc into contemporary painting and prints.. well, it's what they see everyday, much like Constable saw a landscape and Turner saw the sky.

If you live an urban lifestyle, have an anti authoritarian bent and equate hackney with a concrete jungle. Well, these will appeal no ? If you're a Deleuzian Rhizomatic theory reading Derrida fan. Then maybe you can dismiss them as "pop" or not serious enough for your tastes. They're certainly very colourful and decorative. What's not to like ? Taking a stencil out with Graffiti remover is quite funny IMO. And tagging over Mary and Baby Jesus, just offensive enough.

don't mind the first one at all. kind of reminds me of Richard Prince's Nurse series

I was really hoping these prints were going to be differnet images. He has so many awesome images to choose from and I'm slightly disappointed. I would still love to have these, but not for $600 a pop.

I had not even noticed this (just before christmas); Dolk Seems to be a religious extremist; the only God who him do not dares offend seems to be the only one in which he believes: The Money God..

[lifeonwalls]

Maybe these releases will finally calm all the Dolk fanbois down.

If I actually wanted one of these I'd wait two months and pick one up for $500 from one of the "wife doesn't like it/need to pay bills" excuses sales threads in January. I've been wrong before about the sheeple nature of MBW fans and Dolk seems to be getting into that arena.  

[jonny5286]

Dolk hasn't been good since Mushroom Girl. Even Balaclava girl which people shunned for ages is better than these two. I remember when Zooicide was on ebay for £400

[kbfrombk]

Angels piece is rather boring and repetitive. The graf remover looks cool and well done, however the price is a bit too high for me to accommodate framing costs to get it on a wall.

[Deleted]

Not much love so far it seems but for me the graffiti remover is a definite purchase - I love it!!!!!!!

[Deleted]

what exactly do you "love" about it??


 don't throw the L word out there if you don't mean it lol...

[hunter]

Too many prints and too little quality control.

The timing probably isn't coincidental. Christians don't have any problem throwing their religion in other people's faces and trying to force their beliefs on people, especially so around this time of year. This is probably a "f**k you too" on his part.

I'm still waiting for a muslim version of all His "anti religion" works; wonder why not send to f**k off them too, maybe is because they are a bit less less democratic and with less sense of humour

Possibly because he lives in a country where Christians are the leading offenders by far. When was the last time a Muslim knocked on your door and asked if you had a personal relationship with the Profit Mohammed? 

[kultur]

The only artist that gets more hate than Dolk on this forum is MBW. Why bother?

They will sell out instantly - and for all those currently bitching -

1/4 of you will bitch about not getting one. 

1/2 of you will bitch about all of the flippers and that people are crazy for paying.

The remaining 1/4 will just continue to bitch about the "image quality" because you are the experts.

then he does not care of Islamic violence against women arising from religious extremism, but annoys him That someone knock at His door There is a lot of hypocrisy, transgression, trends and prints from one or two years ago that float on the bay at £ 500 just because originally they cost £350... I like Dolk, the old Dolk, Because I think the new Dolk are focusing more on quantity than on the quality.

I'm a simple guy when it comes to buying art if I like the image I buy it!!!!!! Don't get to caught up in the whole meaning of it. I love Invader prints also while most people don't seem to understand the point in them. But I still love them!!!! Is that to many love's for you?

I would guess it's more a case that he doesn't see it and that it's not a part of his everyday life. If he were living in a Muslim country or were from a Muslim background, his art would likely be different.

You seem to be arguing that because one group of people is annoying him, he should criticize other groups that you find annoying too. Or else that's somehow hypocritical. I don't see the logic in that. I think it's a bit more sensible to tell the people who are annoying you to fuck off rather than telling people who are leaving you alone to fuck off too.

And at the risk of going off on a tangent, certain people have a tendency to take an isolated example from another culture, sensationalize it and try to make it representative of that culture as a whole. What you think you know about Islamic culture might not be as accurate as you think.

[Gard]

I think the Angel piece has to be set in context with where is was first placed. In Japan in an area that had been hit by a atomic accident (not sure it's called that in english..). My reading of it has to do with the absent of religion in area that has been hit with a catastrophe. Not even god can save you, so the meaning of religion fades when it hits or something like that.
