[Fake]

this work I made today!

what do you think?

Title: striking love








EDIT: extra colourways:

[My Name is Frank]

Like the silhouettes, not 100% on the lightning. Might work better on a flat red. Just my humble opinion. V clean though.

[bobbyt23]

yeah i like the silhouettes too. But agree i dont think you need the lightning. Also without it i think the title will be better too. But very nice image of the kids.

[Deleted]

i disagree i like the lightning i think this is great fake...

[GVD]

Aw what a b**ch:(

Cool piece, very clean and striking.

[slowmo]

Little too kids on guns for me, not sure why as the message is completely different.

[My Name is Frank]

Spot on, Slowmo. I knew it reminded me of something

[Fake]

this comment is execly the reason I made this piece:



I am still wondering why people (even more from people from this forum) think that a stencil reminds them of banksy...hehe....
GREAT!

[Fake]

PS, the only thing in commen with that piece is the use of A silhouette..........mmmmmm I think i never should use a silhouette becouse a guy called banksy used it....hmmm yes smart comment slowmo

[My Name is Frank]

Surely you can see a slight similarity between the 2 pieces. I don't think anyone is suggesting anything else.

Your message is youth that has been in some way lost, the innocence of the child to the right is lost on the child to the left, who clearly wants to dominate any relationship they may have (or just smash his head in).

It reminded me of kids on guns because it was innocence against the world, both children in this case were innocent. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact it was a stencil. Sorry if I offended you, but next time, before jumping off the deep end and thinking I am just someone who thinks your a banksy wannabe, you might wanna ask why I think its similar to the other piece?

[Fake]

you are right communication is every thing and i should/could have asked. but i think you know what i mean.......

thanks for the explenation slowmo.................

No mate I dont, you tried it on, looking to offset criticism by belittling the critic. Fair play no one likes to get told that someone doesn't like their work, but I wasn't saying it was in any way a banksy copy (its kinda why I wrote totally different message so I dont know why).

Just relax if you're gonna post things for criticism on public forums and maybe PM the person who you think might be just sweepingly making comments about you. You might find out they like a lot of what you do

[Fake]

thanks slowmo.

[Harveyn]

Like the work.

I would be surprised if you buyers are not slightly annoyed at you increasing the edition like this. I had assumed it was an edition of 3. Just my thoughts.

[Zippy]

I was just about to post exactly the same thing.
Its unfair to make an edition of 3 but once sold, you then offer to make more or comissions.

[Harveyn]

Sounds like another vote for destroy the stencil and leave it at three.

Not all bad news as its a really nice piece you have created.

[Deleted]

I too think its best left it at three.

[stickee]

nicely put together but I must admit that it reminded me straight away of kids on guns ( which aint a bad thing)

[GVD]

Banksy has practicly done everything, i think that every stencilartists constantly asks himself: did banksy already do this?

and most of the time he has, cause banksy just done so much. Some ideas are really simple, but its just that he has done it first. Really annoying sometimes hehe.

btw this didnt remind my of banksy's work myself.

[Fake]

hmm, i still a bit new to this... and still learnig about how this scene is working...
I will give it a think over...

[Zippy]

Destroy!

[danny1]

like it...like the background better than the silouette!!!!!!

[Fake]

for the people that dont like the background... (I love them both) they are the same but totaly different!

its smaller 40x50x3.5 cm

[bobbyt23]

I like it without the background still.

Actually no I dont know. I do like the purple one at the top.

[Rourke]

Like it alot mate

most artists are going to compared to other artists and to tell you the truth fake...banksy's not the worst one to be compared to!

nice piece though.
