I was considering buying a Banksy tesco can, but I decided I liked this one more ! More cheeky commentary on Warhol - and it's 10 cents on the dollar compared to the homage that Banksy did, just like the Reduced sticker indicates.
Out of curiosity tabtab, why are you selling your zedsy poison apple ?

Zedsy π¬π§ Street Art β’ New Print Release , by caibach on Aug 2, 2016 18:54:45 GMT 1, Good post and enjoyable read. It's entirely fair to raise these questions when looking at the print in isolation. But one can also consider it within the context of: (i) earlier rehashed or cheesy works produced by Zedsy; (ii) the circumstances in which his first print was released (i.e. an apparent desperation to be associated with Dismaland); (iii) the copycat museum stunt; (iv) the parasitic signature style; and (v) the ripoff logo design. From this broader perspective, it would not be unreasonable to conclude Zedsy is just one of many coattail-riders trying unsuccessfully to emulate their heroes. samfrost here with his description of "me too" art.
(i) earlier rehashed or cheesy works produced by Zedsy;
I am aware of earlier cheesy work, but was prepared to overlook this, no one gets it right 100% of the time.
(ii) the circumstances in which his first print was released (i.e. an apparent desperation to be associated with Dismaland);
Unaware of the story here, stopped reading about anything Dismaland.
(iii) the copycat museum stunt;
Aware of Copycat behavior, but again prepared to overlook this, no idea of Zedsys age, but artists, particularly the more youthful, do tend to emulate their hero's, and I don't see it as such a bad thing.
(iv) the parasitic signature style; and
Yes aware of the C215 logo rip off - admittedly not entirely comfortable with that as I have liked C215 for some time.
(v) the ripoff logo design.
From this broader perspective, it would not be unreasonable to conclude Zedsy is just one of many coattail-riders trying unsuccessfully to emulate their heroes.
I still like the print, just cant help but like it, and don't think that trying to emulate a hero is such an offensive thing to do.
I have started to wonder where are the other 90 prints, is this about hype, and is there a game being played though. I like to give the benefit of the doubt, but if there is some kind of game being played, then this would be a betrayal of trust, of a would-be punter.

Zedsy π¬π§ Street Art β’ New Print Release , by caibach on Aug 2, 2016 18:57:07 GMT 1, De gustibus non est disputandum... I find people's critique of art fascinating. Saying it is unoriginal - such a funny thing to comment on ... I do not believe Warhol invented the design of the Campbell soup can, nor Banksy the Tesco can, nor did Rembrandt invent the people he painted in the Night Watch. The fact that Daniel David didn't invent the mitsubishi logo doesn't detract from this as a piece of art. A fair point well made. I meant 'Unoriginal' by Zedsy in relation to Warhol, and Banksy's work.
Warhol gave the Campbell's soup can his own spin, so did Banksy the Tesco can. I also think that Zedsy has the Campbell's can. Not an original idea though.

I do not believe Warhol invented the design of the Campbell soup can, nor Banksy the Tesco can, nor did Rembrandt invent the people he painted in the Night Watch. The fact that Daniel David didn't invent the mitsubishi logo doesn't detract from this as a piece of art. I think you are not clearly understanding the thought behind saying it is "unoriginal". I believe most here are conveying the idea has been done to death by numerous names over decades and at some point it is just repetitive and "unoriginal" even though there may be some minor variant to them. Copying Banksy's Tate stunt didn't help either and made the entire act from stunt to print "unoriginal".
The fact that DD didn't create the logos he uses isn't the point either. It's that countless other artists have used well known logos on pills for many years and not much new here. I have seen corporate logos on capsules and pills from different artists at art Basel since as far back as I can remember. If these things don't detract from the art for you and select others that's great. For most, it does.

Zedsy π¬π§ Street Art β’ New Print Release , by met on Aug 2, 2016 20:13:32 GMT 1, De gustibus non est disputandum... I find people's critique of art fascinating. Saying it is unoriginal - such a funny thing to comment on ... I do not believe Warhol invented the design of the Campbell soup can, nor Banksy the Tesco can, nor did Rembrandt invent the people he painted in the Night Watch. The fact that Daniel David didn't invent the mitsubishi logo doesn't detract from this as a piece of art. I'll admit being a little baffled by this.
Initially, my assumption was that you were disingenuous and trying to cloud the issue. So under normal circumstances, I'd have dismissed your reply and ignored it β for prioritisation reasons, keeping in mind how I wish to spend my key limited resource: the time I have left on earth.
However, re-reading your comments made me think they might be sincere. Either way, I'll address them as if they were. This post will be hard-hitting, but honestly expressed and without malice.
Although it may be futile, I wanted to respond because the situation also relates to a matter of broader relevance. It ties in with some of the major benefits of Art generally: Encouraging people to open their eyes, to examine things more carefully or differently, to question and reflect. I'm referring to real attempts at considering other perspectives, as opposed to knee-jerk, superficial or conditioned responses.
There often seems to be a failure by many art lovers to harness and actually apply the above benefits. Hence my long-winded endeavour which follows.
---------------
Summary assessment (from one forum member to another) of your reply:
Your efforts were unsatisfactory because you didn't think through your arguments before pressing the Create Post button.
---------------
Assessment in detail:
The citation of an impressive-sounding Latin phrase is noted, which will appease those demanding gods of pseudo-academia. I'm a fan of the language, despite having resented two years of forced studies at school. But it doesn't sound as if you've given this particular maxim proper consideration, let alone challenged it in your mind before quoting it.
The reasoning these words champion is thought-terminating. They serve to shut down potentially meaningful exchanges about art.
---
Regarding the Warhol, Banksy and Rembrandt arguments mentioned, they are beside the point.
Nobody, for example, would ever claim Warhol invented the design of the Campbell's soup can. This is a case of you addressing issues that are both undisputed and separate to matters being discussed. Originality was demonstrated by Warhol 50+ years ago. Not in the soup can design but through the idea of turning clinical depictions of mundane commercial objects into fine art.
---
Your example of the Daniel David Mitsubishi logo is helpful. Let's use it in conclusion. We just need to fabricate a different context to make a credible analogy with the recent output by Zedsy.
Imagine the following scenario:
1. An ecstasy-themed art sculpture is released by artist #1. Cute concept, with nostalgic club-subculture references, an amusing shift in scale and recontextualisation.
2. A slightly different ecstasy-themed art sculpture is later released by artist #2. This work is derivative of the first, but still fun. The main downside is the idea being less fresh because a similar concept was previously explored by artist #1. In this respect, the second release falls prey to the law of diminishing returns.
3. Next, is a Chinese water torture-style drip sequence of, say, 28 more ecstasy-themed art sculpture releases over the course of decades. Each is by a different artist. In aggregate, they offer ad nauseum takes on the same subject matter: an ecstasy pill featuring the Mitsubishi logo.
Again, to labour the point, 28 more of these things: One after another, after yet another, and so on β going beyond dull, beyond clichΓ©d, beyond parody. Beyond excruciating. It's no longer just about ever-decreasing circles; it now epitomises extreme poverty of imagination. That isn't changed by the fact uninformed observers may be oblivious to some or most of the 30 separate sculpture variants produced.
4. Daniel David comes along as artist #31. He releases his sculpture version of an ecstasy pill with the Mitsubishi logo.
5. Somebody on an internet forum then states that the previously-released pill sculptures by all the other artists do not detract from David's own pill sculpture "as a piece of art".
Now, having witnessed this whole scenario, query if the art forum claim in point 5 has the potential to make you feel irritable or even exasperated.

You are spending so much time reading into and ascribing motive and meaning to my comments. I find that fascinating ! Thanks

Because it was a huge post that would take a long time to respond to and I don't want to spend that much additional time arguing about art on an internet forum. I find it very interesting that there are people who are bothered about what I like or don't like - my preference or disdain for a print doesn't affect anyone else's ability to enjoy it. There is a lot of art hanging in museums I don't like, and a lot I do like. There is also lots of art that my wife doesnt like, that I like. It isn't about which one of us is right, it is about what I like or what she likes. I don't argue with her about why she does or doesn't like something, what would be the point ?

It sounds good, but I wonder if that argument actually holds up.

Almost anything can be called "art." Whether or not the art is conceptually original or "good," well that's another conversation entirely.

Just, some compares Banksy and Zedsy ?! ( I like the keywords " as seen in Dismaland on eBay for a small Poison Aplle with edition or reissued a lot of times ! 709, 900 , 600 pound stir White Snow?! It's a bit a joke no ?! Same price ( even more ) as the Pejac Meadows ?! Wow ! I understand, it's the big fiesta cause you got this print for 56 quids ( I would like to see the comments when you will get in hands ) for a 50x36 cm ( I know it's not the size that counts ) , anyway I wonder what would happened to these prints ( even not a look if it was not " as seen in Dismaland " or " as put in the tate " )... With another edition coming soon ?
I would just like " as seen on a - the wall - wall " keyword ! BOTI.

Zedsy π¬π§ Street Art β’ New Print Release , by met on Aug 3, 2016 4:34:45 GMT 1, Hello.
Some of you will be aware that I became an artist last month.
I am pleased to announce my latest print is now available for sale. It's called I Move For No Man. Being a populist, the underlying concept was to create work in response to what is currently popular:
I Move For No Man, 2016 Signed and numbered giclΓ©e print on 75gsm paper Limited edition of 90 Sheet dimensions: 297 x 210 mm Price: Β£47.99
There are vast numbers of art lovers looking to decorate their walls with nice, fun images that also have historical appeal. This print ticks all of the boxes. It has several layers of meaning. On one hand, it's nice. On the other hand, it's fun. On a third hand, it's historical β it homages paintings from last century by a famous artist, Andy Warhol, who knew Michael Jackson. So the work has many levels and is very multifaceted.
----------
I'd like to thank all who have supported me so far. My collectors are great people. They are against discrimination, against any kind of discrimination when it comes to art. Enthusiastic, generous with their praise, undemanding. They know what they like and, more importantly, they like what they know.
Everybody wants to be comfortable. That's the truth. And what's more comfortable than the familiar? Say you were travelling for some ungodly reason to some weird place like Bolivia or Montenegro or Vietnam. Would you really be prepared to risk food poisoning by eating the "food" sold on the street? Or would you find the nearest golden arches, where you're sure about what you're gonna get, where they have proper seats, and where the toilets are checked and cleaned every 30 minutes? I know which option I'd choose. And it doesn't involve gambling with my own health. Art is the same.
In conclusion, art is for the whole world. It should not be elitist and require a school degree to understand, or deep thinking, or other forms of snobbery. Art needs to be democratic. I am 110% for democracy. Thank you.
First come, first served.

Zedsy π¬π§ Street Art β’ New Print Release , by Deleted on Aug 3, 2016 4:53:57 GMT 1, It has always been one edition of 180...only 90 were sold through bigcartel. It seems to be a struggle for people to understand that Banksy won't be the last big artist that does pop culture, so as others have pointed out here...there was a time when Banksy works weren't selling and getting the same sort of grief.
Agreed

How about my latest print then, it is a further deconstructed derivative of the original. Will be a limited edition of 1000 at Β£100 each. Price will go up every 10 mins until sold out. If it does sell out I will release the currently huge pile of AP's.

Zedsy π¬π§ Street Art β’ New Print Release , by Deleted on Aug 3, 2016 17:28:23 GMT 1, Is the Zedsy can produced from an original painting or done in another way and the reduced sticker added before the screenprint is made?
I presume there is no original artwork for this screenprint as in had drawn and painted. Maybe someone knows if that is the case.
Regarding producing this screenprint with the added sticker on the soup can. Fair play to Zedsy if that's what floats his boat and people want to buy it.
The selling of this print is interesting and the way it is being sold. With half of the edition put uup for sale and the other half to be sold at a later date. Which is one reason I don't get the people dissapointed or so they say that they didn't get one.
The only similarities this artwork has to Warhol, or Banksy Tesco can. Is that it depicts a soup can.
Warhol grew up with Campbells soup (as in his mother used to make it for him etc) and the brand and design influenced him from a young age and also as a commercial artist in the 60's. So the use of the soup can for a screenprint by Warhol was a connection to his surroundings and to pop art.
Banksy did the own brand take on the soup can for similar reasons and possibly as a statement on the power of advertising and branding, altho any reason is possible.
To me many Campbells soup variations are just that. Decorative without making any sort of statement.
I don't know which statement Zedsy is making, with the reduced sticker considering this print is being hyped to re sell for more than the retail, drop price.
Will any of todays screen prints being eagerly bought by urban art amateur investors and stuffed into portfolios under their beds end up having reduced stickers added to the prints in the future. Who knows.

Is the Zedsy can produced from an original painting or done in another way and the reduced sticker added before the screenprint is made? I presume there is no original artwork for this screenprint as in had drawn and painted. Maybe someone knows if that is the case. Regarding producing this screenprint with the added sticker on the soup can. Fair play to Zedsy if that's what floats his boat and people want to buy it. The selling of this print is interesting and the way it is being sold. With half of the edition put uup for sale and the other half to be sold at a later date. Which is one reason I don't get the people dissapointed or so they say that they didn't get one. The only similarities this artwork has to Warhol, or Banksy Tesco can. Is that it depicts a soup can. Warhol grew up with Campbells soup (as in his mother used to make it for him etc) and the brand and design influenced him from a young age and also as a commercial artist in the 60's. So the use of the soup can for a screenprint by Warhol was a connection to his surroundings and to pop art. Banksy did the own brand take on the soup can for similar reasons and possibly as a statement on the power of advertising and branding, altho any reason is possible. To me many Campbells soup variations are just that. Decorative without making any sort of statement. I don't know which statement Zedsy is making, with the reduced sticker considering this print is being hyped to re sell for more than the retail, drop price.
