That's the Spirit.
The picture looks like some avant-garde conductor giving the down beat
to the buffoon section.

It's proving to be a very discursive picture!

Mrs Skol hit upon it 'cos she knows I'm partial to Banksy's work - yeah, don't judge me ;) But interestingly, or not, the picture is really just a pastiche of Banksy's style and perhaps even a comment on the 'commercialisation' of protest - ?

I think this comment from the Banksy forum sums it up nicely: "edginess quotient fulfilled. street art aesthetic employed. buy your maximum efficiency urban art merchandise today, now available in four great colours".

And maybe that's the message to take away from it? That it's the sort of image someone might hang on their wall to 'fulfill their edginess quotient' (akin to the classic Che Guevara poster). Whereas the lady in the original photo is out being bona fide 'edgy' and probably has no urge to hang such things on her wall.

I do like the style of it though, but then I'm a sucker for a nice screen print :)

Very much in keeping, Len. Enjoy the holiday; it sounds as if you're due one. Committed, eh..? One wonders... :mellow:[size=4] [/size]

Here is my attempt this month, after two busy months out of the challenge, I found some time to put this together:

this months comp is doing well , mine is pretty much done , maybe some tweaking , and by tweaking, I mean I am desperately trying to get anyone I know who has got a half decent voice to replace my sad efforts at delivering a lyric , I am not in panic mode yet , quite , and I have laid a vocal down , but I still have a a week and a bit to replace it :D

Lurksalittle has ducked out of this one as she thinks I am being silly , but I reckon I can persuade her mates to do a few harmonies as they still think the whole recording thing is cool :lol:

Was going to ask if anyone wanted to drop something down on mine when it's nearer completion! :D

Quite, and I can understand why. Instant visions of 'em, lots of 'em, hopping about all around. Excellent; thanks for the vision.

Oh no , she can sing , if Bens composition is half decent I figure my singing on it should bring it down a peg or two :P

I keep my compositions short for purely tactical reasons. If people hate it, or are indifferent, I haven't wasted much of their time. If they like it, they might come back for more:-)

Like it a lot, that's what I call a composition! Goes well with the picture also, at least the two little fellas at the top...
