Terrible. And Sleepwalker is borderline offensive in my opinion.
Generally no Dolk fan though so maybe I miss the message once again.

whats the hidden meaning behind sleepwalker, I hope there is one? Maybe the man is disabled and he can't walk, but in his dreams he can walk? He is sleeping maybe dreaming of walking? Little does he know he actually is walking. When he wakes up it will all be a dream, The Norwiegeeiwiens will love it anyway |

I hear Dolk's a big fan of Little Britain and Sleepwalker is his tribute to Lou from the Andy and Lou sketch. As for the Chief and for that matter all Dolk's what does it signify? I quite like the Chief though, but not sure if I'd spend £350 on it.

The ear drum splintering sound of a bubble bursting.
Awful. Both of them.
If this was Jboy everyone would be rightly slating these.

Be honest. Is anyone here going to buy Sleeperwalker to hang on their wall and not store it in a portfolio.

Puzzled I am...
Sleepwalker seems to be about "dreams come true" ? I have nothing against strong messages, but this one doesn't work imo and you are just left with a feeling of "is he just taking the piss"
I find Chief OK from an image perspective, but something about the execution seems off, the print has no impact at all !
3 Chiefs same problem with the added confusion of the gray blob. What the hell is that all about ?

well, my thoughts.... art is the one outlet where people are encouraged to be offensive and push boundaries. The Sleepwalker image is doing just that (plus trying to be funny), but when you take the image off the street and put it onto your wall, you kinda loose any edginess that may have existed in it's original environment.
As for Chief, I'm not a fan of puns. Is there another meaning besides the obvious?
poor choice for prints by a very talented artist

What the hell is that all about ? On the Norwegian forum some suggest that the grey blob is a little "pinch" (Norwenglish sorry!) to Martin Whatson. It was originally done with graffiti on it... |

Well I for one really like Sleepwalker. I really liked it the first time I saw it which was a few years ago now and am happy he's finally released it.
As a disabled person I think it's very powerful and not at all offensive. Is it only able bodied people being offended by it I wonder?
As for the Chief, surely it's Amboguy's dream print and 3 X Chief could have any of Dolks stencils behind it. I like it. Fuck the buff!
