My interpretation is that Banksy was showing the utmost respect for Keith Haring. Banksy would have absolutely no reason what so ever to diss Haring. Banksy is the Keith Haring of our time and just like the crack is wack wall is protected by the parks and recreations department in NYC - Banksy's work is also sometimes protected.

(Just posted this on another thread, but thought it suits the discussion here too.)

I would suggest that, we should consider both his CYW piece (with Keith Haring dog) and the Jeff Koon dog pieces together. Then we would see that, the Haring dog is allowed to bark freely, while the Koon dog has a mouth guard on it.

It suggests to me it is about celebrating street art (and Haring would be one of the best examples), and mocking the contemporary art world. Anti-establishment and all that.

I would say it is a tribute to Haring. Would you and perhaps LA2 agree?

All LA2 pieces have been completed and will be dispatched today. I will be sending a photo of your piece via e-mail to your standard e-mail address later this afternoon. I want to thank everyone who participated in this great opportunity to own a 1/1 piece of original art by a street legend for an insider forum price. Happy Holidays - Wearology

Would be great to see a few photos of these

Big thanks to Wearolgoy for taking the time to make this happen. Sounds like it was a bit rough at times but LA2 really did an excellent job. I'm well chuffed and more than happy. Will post pics when it arrives. Gonna add some colour to the walls that's for sure!!

[fingerz]

cant wait to see it poppa or any of them for that matter

This piece is quite lovely. Congrats to all that grabbed something. And even though I did not get one myself, much appreciation to Wearology for facilitating this.

This is a piece that LA2 did for a forum member - he used a lot of different materials to create his classic style - spray paint, acrylic paint, sharpee marker, metalic silver marker, acrylic paint pen.

[boaty]

Received my LA2 piece today and absolutely over the moon. ;D will post pics when my phone/camera decides to cooperate...

A big thank you to Wearology for a most thoughtful and selfless gesture for the forum. I am often moved by the kindness exhibitied by many on the forum.

[Wearology]

Brushstrokes - I just sent you the tracking numbers for your package - it seems the overseas recipients haven't received there's yet in Sweden, Germany and the UK yet. They should be there in the next few days.

[Wearology]

Boaty - I can post a pic of yours if you want me to. Brushstrokes the one you posted is actually not exactly yours - the one you are getting has a snake and an insect on it. The last 5 pieces will be sent out by early next week. I have contacted all those involved to explain the delay - thank you for being so understanding. I have a few pieces that have not been sent out due to non payers, time wasters and the usual forum games. If anyone is interested in a piece of LA2 art that is not a commission but already an already completed piece please send me a PM. Thanks again and this has been some experience I could write a book.

That is such a pity you and Angel have been messed about at all Wear. You have been a gent to deal with and I am very excited about getting my piece. What a great opportunity you have afforded people to own a piece of art history at a fraction of gallery prices.

That is one of the nicest LA2 pieces I have ever seen . I'm green with envy

[Wearology]

Angel is so happy that many of our forum members appreciate his talents. I have not shared with him any of the negative shenanigans that have transpired behind the scenes. Overall this has been a very positive experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Some of the pieces that he did for our infoites will hopefully change some of the skeptics into believers. He rocked them!

[Brushstrokes 75]

This is the one then lol

[hlarmy]

Enough credit can't be given to Wearology for his role in all this, I know that he's had quite a bit of s**t over it despite his intentions to do good both for Angel and forum members.

Top man

[Wearology]

I want to thank a great forum member for creating a website for LA2 for free - I can not believe what total strangers half way around the world will do for each other in the name of art.

[angel41]

Well done Wearology. You the man!

thanks mmmike - I think it's great too...

[Wearology]

I want to thank everyone that has participated in the "LA2 Exclusive Forum Sale" More than 20 forum members have either received or will be receiving their pieces in the next few days. I will be posting photo's of several pieces from the original 25 on Monday that have been completed but are now available for sale due to circumstances we are all too familiar with when doing transactions with certain forum members. Overall the experience was absolutely great for me and LA2. Thank you very much for all your support.

[fingerz]

like the website ...

[hanky]

No problem a pleasure doing business with you both

[Harveyn]

Big thanks to Wearology and La2 for this beauty standing at 36"x24". Not with me yet but I can't wait.

[Coach]

These LA2 pieces look amazing.
Harveyn - that is awesome. Huge, and so full of energy. Love it.
You have done a fabulous thing Wearology.

[Brushstrokes 75]

For my 1000th post, I have to say Harvey that your LA2 is by far one of the most amazing piece by LA2, I have seen so far!

Can see the words 'LA ROCK' in there numerous times, first time I've looked at one of these pieces properly, Does a lot of his work have hidden words in them??
Just had a quick look on google images and none jump out at me.

Looks cool anyway

[angel41]

Ha ha, well spotted. Didn't see that until you mentioned it.
