Only a stones throw from a MBW release.

Also a hopeless misuse of the word iconic, see threads passim, by way of bonus.

Absolute shit. Smells almost as bad as the bog of eternal stench.

Not for me but it's for a good cause and some people like his work.

Having worked in a variety of arts and entertainment related fields,  my experience with the "% donated to charity" scam is that it is a hook to entice those on the fence or easily swayed, generally to jumpstart a new career or resuscitate a flagging career.

Combine that in this case with Bowie as choice and you have an attempt at a DINT (double impulse no thought) sale.

Something artistically relevant entirely for charity, considering how much he's probably made on his hack graphic design would have been more meaningful to the conversation.

Embarrassing

[ferg]

Totally

[dodsi]

They're not good - it's a shame as I really like the pieces by JJ that I own. All of the recent work has been very weak.

[dranfan14]

Horrific like everything else he's produced

[rjf76]

Truly awful. Can imagine them being run out on an A3 laser printer...

Yeah I'm no fan either, most of his stuff looks like it came straight from Poundland. That said, I was really into the R2 Marmite, Oxo etc for a minute but could not justify the price.

It's shit. He made Bowie look like an Irish woman. Plus what about copyright issues etc. Do these so called artists just steal celebritie sphotos and make money from them. As for a percentage going to liver cancer. How low can one go. Just admit you are riding off the back of Bowies death.

there's a HUGE difference between graphic design and editing photos in photoshop... what JJ Adams does has absolutely nothing to do with graphic design.

[fishandchips]

Can't say I can imagine either of them looking good on anybody' s wall. Is camp the right word!?

[Deleted]

Yeah guys, its obviously a picture from labyrinth the movie. But that doesn't make it suck any less.

Moot point...his background is as a graphic designer, sign painter and failed tattoo artist.  Studied commercial printing and opened his own graphic design business.  So he is approaching these from a graphic design point of view regardless of the process.

I feel sorry for anyone who has been bought into this rubbish and the galleries that have to sell it! this bloke has lit stolen everything hes ever done and when he does do something off his own merit he comes up with these god awful posters and sell out $£@%!!!

He's like a modern day robin hood then. A poor artist who steals from the rich artists.

His moment will pass and he'll be driving a lorry by age 50.

I'd say all his work has been pretty week just can't imagine what the houses look like that cater for his works! Maybe a games room or kids bedroom or toilet is pushing it! 

[dbooodb]

is it me or does c3po have really long arms or little legs? And this Bowie piece what's the body part that runs from ur neck to ur shoulder called or doesn't it exist?

Mine you mean? I am currently renovating and was kinda going for the contemporary and neutral thing. I had not considered I need to do anything different or special because I have a few pictures that other art collectors don't like. 

Live and learn and all that.

[dbooodb]

Buying anything of someone who produces (art) at this level is crazy just went into google and saw this! This is prob the funniest thing I've ever seen! Did this bloke grow up saying when I'm older I wanna create art and produce a picture of Kate with her head stuck wrongly onto a different col body with no ideas of proportions and terrible photoshop skills . The arm??? . This is too funny! Was this sold to people!? I'm beginning to enjoy his work for some reason! It's def good for a laugh but anyone who thinks they've got an investment there is crazy! Very lazy work! Producing as much as I've seen on Google is a sure fire way to cheapen or kill a career and this bloke has hundreds of photoshop images prob producing a few a day!

[kel]

Think I might go in for this as I have bought some of the worst shit ever released so might as well add something else to the bonfire pile.
