Nor do I but people seem to love it. All power to him.

Can someone explain the allure of Sickboy? I dont see it at all.

[shower]

i like his stuff as it reminds me of the street. his stuff tends to be the same in his prints as his stuff on walls around shoreditch and thats why i enjoy some of it! brings the raw essence of graffiti on the street into your home. however i dont love it as much as many other artists and hence on my tight budget havnt purchased any yet!

I guess Sickboy is like marmite... You either love his work or just dont get the appeal.

I for one really like his work. His temples are instantly recognisable, always well executed and are pretty much everywhere in Shoreditch (As well as Bristol of course and Barca apparently) The guy has good can skills, he draws, paints, does quality prints and has even stepped up the mark and made a 3D version of his work! And he's a nice guy to top things off.

[buddings]

i guess living in bristol you get to really appreciate his work, he gets his temples everywhere.
And he's also got some amazing non-temple stuff

[carlito]

oooh its a temple...thought it was burger king hat ... still don't get it...ha ha oh well

you´re not alone...

[goffy]

I'm with you Carlito. And I am reminded of my six month trip around India, that is 'you've seen one temple, you've seen them all'

He looks great naked.

[G-Man]

I got mine a few days ago and love it

Its a really stunning print in the flesh.. the cut off top and the richness of the colours are very cool

The edition size of 8 and reasonable price makes this one of my best purchases in the last couple of months

I'm still waiting for my resin temple, but have been promised a print to compensate for the wait so am well happy to wait.. cant wait to see what the print is gonna be though!!!

i liked the sickboy self portrait at pow and i am sure there is a talent lurking, which can go on to bigger and better themes, i for one am a little tired of the temple image and i wish he would move on.

sickboy, sweet toof, cyclops, burning candy, tek 33, discreet.

the list goes on. they are the current heartbeat of the uk streetart scene, for me they represent the streets, and when i see the studio work it just reminds me of all there fantastic outdoor artworks, although i love alot of the rest, for me these guys really mean it, and they aren't afraid to contribute on the streets, and not just contribute so that they can flog a bit more studio work and jump on the "urban art" bandwagon. i can appreciate people who dont get it, but i found my way into all this through the street art itself and not the indoor stuff, now i love it all though! i reckon if you did a pole the same people who like and appreciate tox's tag will more than likely be the same cross-section that like sickboy et al. the repetition is all part of it, it mimics the repetition of the city, its just a visual tag. these guys are all qualified artists, there studio art is fantastic. its grime - - - its the streets!

check out my sweet toof, sickboy and cyclops set on flickr here and make your own mind up:
