@ Rae, you should put your website and any other info in your signature so we can easily get to your website when stuff drop or when you bring new stuff to our attention. Just trying to shorten that gap for peoples.
Cheers

Thanks. Agreed. We've contacted Silky because it doesn't seem to be working when entered. Gave up on it awhile ago but now will address it.

Hot damn!

[Backpack Punk]

Just picked up

[kunstrasen]

Not surprise so many have sold so quickly, fantastic bunch of artworks there. Stinkfish just seems to get better and better.

Backpack Punk: That piece is absolutely amazing!

[barnsy]

If you think about this artwork, yes the one backpackpunk bought is really nice. BUT it is the actual album cover that is really nice, thats what makes it work. OK Stinkfish has chosen wisely here! However, the ones that have not sold so quickly, are boring album covers, can you see what I mean! Although his work is nice and clever, they are just nicely painted faces in my opinion!

What do you all think?

Surely the same can be said for an artist that has a good sense for colours and how they work together or composition. A collage artist that knows which images to disregard, an artist using a gnarly piece of wood that adds to his painting. A typographer who knows his fonts ect etc.

[kunstrasen]

Totally agree with jusdeep on that matter and also would not call any of those boring...







...if I had the cash I would take any of the three. Agree though that one or two pieces are not quiet as strong. Don't think it works well when two different patterns are worked over one face and colour always adds something to an art piece for the taste of most people.

[chrispa]

if you cannot afford the OGs there are still a few nice Snub Nose prints by Stinkfish available in the Extra's section

[kunstrasen]

Main reason why I can't afford those is that I just recently bought one or the other original. ;D
But those snub nose prints are very nice, wasn't aware of them, and a nice example of his work away from existing printing stock. Really a very good alternative to get your hands on his work.

sorry for being thick
but
whats "One or the Other Original"
is "One or the Other" a new artist?

[BROOKLYNITE]

[afroken]

Isn't he just a poor man's Dr Lakra? Exactly the same idea but without any of the finess.

[Warm Gun]

Dr Lakra is fantastic!

[jusdeep]

Dr Lakra is a tattoo artist… Hasn't been many of them before either I suppose.

[afroken]

What's that got to do with it?

[jusdeep]

What's Dr Lakra got to do with Stinkfish's work? Lakra is a tattoo artist, he embellishes found items in a similar way true, but the similarity ends there in my opinion. Lakra's work follows his tattooing background. Calling Stink a poor mans Dr Lakra and saying his work lacks finess is a little narrow minded. Everyone is influenced by someone elses work, nothing is original in the art world. If you don't like the work fair enough but this (I seem to remember) is the second time you've made digs about the Lakra similarity for what end who knows.

[afroken]

It's an opinion. Get over it. I'd love to know how having an opinion makes me narrow minded. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the fact that you can't bare to read someone else's opposing view to yours might actually make you appear narrow minded? And did I say I dislike the work? It's nice enough but I try to cast a critical eye over ALL art I see and develop MY OWN point of view rather than just nodding in agreement with everything. Does that offend you?

And I have no recollection of ever posting anything about Dr Lakra or Stinkfish on any forum so you must be thinking of someone else.

I know it's an opinion - It's your opinion and you are entitled to it.
It was your comments of 'poor mans Dr Lakra', 'his work lacks finess' I didn't like, especially from yourself. It shows a 'narrow minded' opinion.
There is plenty of room for more than one artist with a similar style and I find it degrading to a relatively new artist and their work (but of course that's my opinion and interpretation of what you said).
I really couldn't care less if someone has opposing views to me. I am very open minded and have a very broad range of tastes which I am more than capable of developing on my own.
I make my own decisions in what I like or dislike, so I do take offence to your suggesting that I don't have my own point of view. You don't know me so who are you to judge?
Nuff said, I don't want this getting personal, it's all about the work.

[Coach]

Some great new og's there Rae.
Whoever got the one with the baby in it got the pick of the bunch imo. Fabulous.

Eh? Where did I say that? Oh wait, was it in my other post comparing Stinkfish to Dr Lakra?!

Believe it or not, it is only the work that I am judging but for some reason you seem to have taken that very personally. You have every right to love it and cover your walls in it, I don't care. But me, I think the work is nice but contrived. That's all.

[Deleted]

It's not Afroken, it's somebody else who made comparison in the past !!
Agree with most of what has been said above, his work is nice (especially on the street, the fact also he takes pictures of subject). Mag & album cover are not bad And agree, Dr Lakra's drawing are much more subtil

[chrispa]

I think Stickfish is to Lakra what Dolk is to Banksy
Both can do great work but there is always going to be an "original"
Lakra is truly great, but thats why HIS magazine covers cost £6K

[chrispa]

Are these LP's and Magazine's signed???

[kunstrasen]

Don't see a lot of similarities between the artworks of Stinkfish and Dr. Lakra apart from the fact that they in parts do their artworks on similar mediums. That conclusion really can only come up if you aren't familiar with the variety of Stinkfishs work...

Edit: Just an example of Stinkfishs work on the streets.

[BROOKLYNITE]

Just a heads up that all Stinkfish magazines and records will be shipped out by Wednesday. Thanks.
