Crap to some , fun to others
If it were by banksy would say the rat is strong , (sales are)
This is just a weak image along with the colour , pioneer of stencils in the 80s for street art great , but nothing new , challenging , witty or fun here

Is it a headless chicken/goose/duck or is the head & neck outstretched in front of its torso. If it was the later and had been executed to the point that you could make this distinction then it would have been so much better than some recent efforts. Certainly the flow and continuity between the duck and the dancers would have benefited.

New print from Blek ! Great one !, by happy go lucky chap on Apr 21, 2016 9:59:18 GMT 1, Yes, head outstretched, but if this was going on my wall the bird would definitely get the guillotine.
In my opinion this would have been much better on a white background but this would have just been the same as The Quin release, except with a bird in it.
Anyone know the price on these?

New print from Blek ! Great one !, by pollz66 on Apr 22, 2016 9:56:00 GMT 1, It looks like Blek is referencing the new art - and unfortunately failing - rather than developing his own roots. Blek once complained that Banksy stole his ideas but, like all great artists, he simply took Blek's ideas and evolved them into something better. And he has kept doing it, which is what Blek seems to have lost.
In that sense, Blek is not alone many artist are at their best and most creative when they are young and unfettered by all the shit that life and the art world can throw at them. If anything Banksy has helped Blek by referencing and revering him, rather than exploiting him.
