I asked a Q on Zeus before and nobody responded. I'm beginning to think Zeus is a cover for another artist as I can't find any info on Zeus at all (the artist that is ;-)

Exactly, so why don't we start a rumour that it's actually Banksy, it's a test to see who actually buys for the work and content and who just wants the name !

Here goes, "hey dudes, did you know that that Zeus print up on POW is actually by Banksy"

[sputnikeye]

Yeah, according to his god like status with print sales, he donned a disguise and decided to pull the rug from under the scalpers feet

Its a done deal ;D Sputnikeye is buyin my whole Zeus collection! Yeeaaahhh! ;D

[irf2112]

i was curious about his identity because why would a French bloke mock the London underground. You wouldn't see a Brit doing something on the SNCF. Prob Mr Lazerides himself showing he can appeal to the POW bunch.

[sputnikeye]

why would a Norwegian mock the British royal family?

cos they're a bunch of c**nts maybe ;D

[notitle]

that zeus print is shockingly shite.

[sputnikeye]

Well that's a bit obvious, but why not mock the Norwegian royalty? As far as I'm concerened they are all c??ts

Who the Norwegians or the Royal Family ;D

Shock News! - Prince Charles is Banksy!

[sputnikeye]

Ho ho ;D. That was a good one. need to watch here, all the fun of the fair. roll up rollup roll up yer trouser legs roll up yer joints and win a goldfish or a print or a print of a goldfish

[sputnikeye]

By the way I mean all royalty not Just den Norske! (just back from work)

The print is based on an original Dolk street stencil that featured the Crown Prince if Norway wearing a Burger King crown, this is an interpretation of that, I guess it could be applied to all royalty, not specific to Charlie boy.

that zeus/zevs bloke is ok. he had a couple of paintings at stench in sept plus two at santas ghetto (mercedes and vw ones).

[manchestermike]

He's definately a French bloke, his name is Aguirre

You mean people actually buy prints for the artwork!!!! I'd be interested to see how many people are already saving for the next Banksy release without even seeing it??? Will it hang on your wall or is in an investment?

Personally speaking - I think the 'Applause' piece is pretty poor, and the 'Soup Can' print is utter rot so I wouldn't buy them at all - even if i had the chance. The 'Grannies' on the other hand I think is a hilarious piece, and is up there with some of his other pieces that just blow me away

As someone that is new to the whole art scene, and is constantly being compared to the C.N.P.D and Cauty (some people think we're one and the same too) am I judged for the quality of my art or for having a style someone else? There are numerous artists that are now stencilling like Bansky - but it is the content that should be judged - not the style

yes there's some stuff on POW that I think is absolutely phenomenal - and other stuff that I think is utter shite - as well as a whole host of Banksy wannabees. I don't know - call me controvertial....but if I think the price is right and I like a piece of art I'll buy it!

Rant over! ;D

you can't find any infomation on him because his name is Zevs not Zeus.

Aghirre - that's what I meant

[mido]

Aguirre is a Basque name.

So his name is Aghirre. Really?

Makes perfect sense, I guess - to wear a nylon stocking over your head all the time, but make your real name public.

For those who don't know, Zevs is a name he took after the name of a train that almost hit him when he was doing graffiti as a youth.

Why not, well Invader seems to think so. I've got an albino invader that is a 1/1 "For Aghirre" that Invader did for Zeus

[pjotr101]

ok, cool. Just seems a bit strange to me, that's all.

Then again, I guess it wouldn't be too compromising to make a name like Smith public. I don't know how many people called Aghirre there are in Paris...

18.5 actually... there are a few kiddies

[pezlow]

Seems to be a real buzz growing about this guy. I can't believe the 5 canvasses from urban angel sold out so quickly Didn't even get a sniff.

What do people think of the hand sprayed print on prescription art? It looks the absolute business. I'm amazed it hasn't sold out yet. It's effectively an original huge work of art for less than the cost of a bog standard print.

[manchestermike]

sniff sniff...

The print looks amazing, seriously good
