Will blek le rat survive for decades??, by moleman on Jun 16, 2008 19:37:18 GMT 1, do you drink diet coke with aspartain in it ( carcenagenic)
feed your kids sweets with e number ( mess them up)
do you vote tory or labour
like chuck berry ( reported fiddler )
every one has a veiw and is dam well welcome to it if it agrees with mine or not thats up to you there are worse things in the world than having a veiw on politics .
I suppose that sounds like if you are welocome to your own veiw you can take your prints down and you can ( and did)
But there are worse things going on around you all day and you, i and possibly we do nothing about them. If you like them put them up thats all you ever get ramed down your throat on here buy it if you like, frame what you like.

I agree. (don't understand half the sentences but get the gist of it!)

If Nick Walkers work is in such demand, I'd certainly keep a close eye on Blek's stuff as I think he's got way more cred.
I guess these upcoming auctions will tell us a thing or two.
My guess: the Blek's go for big bucks. It's his time.

Disagree
Just because someone is there at the start doesn't mean their work is the best. I'm sure in art history many artists who were there at the start of certain movements aren't even remembered now as their work is completely eclipsed by those who came later

Agree MM.....For me Bleks work will be 20 times cheaper in 10 yrs ,I cannot see it standing the test of time as it already looks dated .

How is that framed? Perspex box frame so the canvas is enclosed by the Perspex or is it only a border?
