Comments on: Recreating iconic Banksy images as photos http://boingboing.net/2012/06/05/recreating-iconic-banksy-image.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Thu, 20 Jun 2013 06:12:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Es See http://boingboing.net/2012/06/05/recreating-iconic-banksy-image.html#comment-1443220 Es See Wed, 06 Jun 2012 17:31:00 +0000 http://boingboing.net/?p=164949#comment-1443220 I love when "artists" take something already existing and change the format. yeah right! The graffiti that Banksy put up was relevant and made statements opposing certain ways of thinking. This is just a trifling artists attempt to get famous while riding coattails. No talent, or original thought or even a valid reason of why this needed to be done outside being a school project. But hey I'm sure theres plenty of sheep who'll buy this "art". The best and worst part about art is its subjectivity. I love when “artists” take something already existing and change the format. yeah right!

Any fruit, flower, etc in a "still life" is always changing as it decays. Just very slowly and many still life's included animals, insects, etc. I thought the term referred more to the setting created by the artist, the stopping of a point of time. See.. I like to pick nits as well. http://www.baroque.us/painting/salini/stillife.jpg Isn’t it the photo or painting that make them still?
