My point is that he's copying someone else's art and adding type over it. Repainting it makes it more valuable on an original than if he had photographed or scanned it. But on an ink jet, I don't think it adds much.
Personally, I think they're funny, but in my opinion, he's just taking an internet meme and putting it in a frame.

Banksy some 50 years later in 2008:
Your opinion is duly noted. You don't like Shawn's art. You really don't need to write anything else. If your argument is (now that your original comment has been shown to be factually incorrect) that it suffers because he uses classic, well know paintings as source material, start a new thread, and discuss this in general. And your argument should encompass any artist who does this, from Banksy to Fairey to Huckins to ... my God, the list is endless.

Stop talking about Banksy that way. Why, I never ... ! This is the Banksy Forum in case you missed it. Gil Elvgren from the 1950s: Banksy some 50 years later in 2008: Your opinion is duly noted.

How was my comment factually incorrect? In point of fact, he adds type over someone else's art. If you interpreted that to mean something other than I said, so be it.
I expanded on my original point by saying that it feels like an internet meme. There's some originality in taking a meme and putting it on a canvas, but not a lot in my opinion.
I never said I don't like it. On the contrary, I said I think it's funny. But I don't think it's worth $350 for an inkjet. And personally, I don't think his work will stand the test of time.

(The comparison to banksy is odd to say the least, it's not about using another's images, it's about having differing ideas something banksy has never been short of)

That said, it's not just him. I think a lot of artists have success with one idea and get stuck on it. It's probably hard take a risk and do something different when you know the tried and true will sell.

It should also be noted that this is not all he does, and I would be willing to bet he doesn't do it forever. It's the only work on his site from the last four years. Most of his older work is still available for sale. |

The cover to the invitation is the Lincoln picture included in the article (and included below) and, on the inside, is a small version of the Know What I'm Saying piece.

Shawn Huckins 🇺🇸 Portraits • Paintings • Exhibition News, by dreadnatty on Apr 6, 2015 3:57:29 GMT 1, When AM arrived at Shawn Huckins‘ studio in Denver’s trendy Lowry district, the paintings were finished, the oil dry and most already packed up and ready to send across town to Goodwin Fine Art for his solo show entitled American_tier opening April 17th (stay tuned for opening night coverage). Huckins is best known for his ability to engage viewers using classic style paintings of historical figures with overlaid text, the final piece being equal parts gorgeous portraiture and lighthearted humor. For each series, he has concentrated on a different period of time, and as the show title suggests, the current series will feature images from early America.
The Denver-based artist is coming off of a string of recent shows, including being part of the Platinum Blend group show at Modern Eden and being at the Hashimoto Contemporary booth at Scope Art Fair in Miami. More information about his upcoming solo show opening April 17th in Denver is available at www.goodwinfineart.com.
