New Blek release 'King of Chicago'

[Viking Surfer]

Really not sure what he's doing with this one?

Is the crown a nod to Basquiat? Is he riding that train? - Only because Basquiat obviously resided in NY.

Maybe somebody can shed some light.

Is he a frog?

[Argiebaji]

I actually like this one ... Large image/small edition size .. compared to Tha Apocalypse rat .. I think this is quite strong ...??

Bit weird. What is the other hand doing?

Just realised that this thread was first in line so will post this here instead:

Not sure I like the hump back and the "Hello Sailor" heel Raise, I won't even mention the hands but who am I to criticise an icon of the Street Art scene.



Luckily I am on an Art Buying Sabbatical for the remainder of the year

Ah man, I can't unsee this now lol

[yoyosh]

This print is based on one of the pieces that BTR painted during his time here in Chicago...hence...ya know...the title of the print

I like Blek, but as of late his placement of street art is horrible. Does he just randomly place stencils on the wall and hope for the best? Or is that just his style?

I think he's getting on a bit, eyes are not what they were

is that a p e n i s (which might explain the white splotch below it) or his left leg? If it’s his left leg, wtf is wrong with it?

[chevyav53]

Very disappointing. Really love my Rat after the Apocalypse and was hoping to see more unique and interesting pieces besides his selfie stencil. Then to just throw the crown in there and some color, hate to say it but feels a little cheap and MR. Brainwashey

[touchdowntodd]

I want to love it as a fan. .. but I can't

On to the next

Great size tho!

[drflie]

I think he's supposed to be breaking while he paints. 

[yoyosh]

I'm not saying this is a great piece, BUT he will never release anything worse than the rat with the selfie stick. Actually, no one might release anything worse than the rat with the selfie stick

[Rouen Cathedral]

This thread makes me laugh.

It's not great but the worst part is the price. Put this in the 300 range and it's probably fine.

[yorkie]

Like this - managed to track it down in Chicago (and posted a picture of it) ....

I'm taking this one and I like the image.

[poplux]

I like this guy, the pioneer things etc.. but this... and the price. It looks like a Random stencil.
The only thing I thought was "is that a prediction of the new Banksy in London?" Ah ah

[Boyle44]

What a load of rubbish this is

[yorkie]

Hi,

Mine has arrived and looks beautiful - very well packaged and protected (cellophane and tissue)....



Love the colours and it just reminds me of the real one in Chicago!
