Not to everyones tastes...

[Blukoo]

Don't ask me what possessed me to do this, but at least its a coin with the younger image of the queen.

I call this... "Head, not tails"


..to which people have raised objections.

Why pick on the Queen, who has held a marriage together for longer than most people?

[pauljc]

Why post this?

What did you think we would think of it?

I did say its not to everyones taste.

I'm 21. Not that my age is relevant.
I just thought i'd push the boundaries of what you normally see, or expect.
I apologise if i offended anyone, but i doubt i did.
If you did happen to be offended by what you saw, lighten up!

And why pick on the queen??? I'm not necessarily picking on the queen herself. I just manipulated a figure you see every day.

By the way, I think the monarchy is the biggest waste of space ever.
Might be a good tourist attraction, but thats all they do in my eyes.

So, you post a controversial photo on a forum, you state your opinion on a forum, but you don't want any debate?

Scared your 'opinion' may not withstand the thoughts of others?

I'm not a fan of the royals, but at the heart of it the queen is an old woman and I think no old woman should be the subject of such lowbrow crap.

What a ridiculous, banal post.......

Not fo me either but you're a load of miserable buggers. If Banksy had done it it'd be worth thousands and you be feting it's comical irreverence.

He's 21, leave him be. He posted some good stuff the other night.

I was hoping it would be seen a comical, not controversial.
How it is a controversial image? Its not racist, its not sexist, its not even 'really' pornographic. To be fair, it could be anything in her mouth.

No, i'm not scared that my opinion wouldn't withstand the thoughts of others. Simply because its my opinion, and i'd stand by it no matter what others said.

When I was about 8 or 9 I met the queen. She came to open our local hospital, and she was very nice to me. She actually took her time to speak to me. I have no reason to dislike her as a person.
I already stated its not an attack on the queen herself, but an every day image or symbol.

fwiw bluko I found the work to be a great idea (artistically). Art isnt always about making people happy,there is smething about the sublime with that picturer - just wished I'd had the idea. Nice idea, execution could have been better

and lol@the comment someone made about the queen holding a marriage together

[Blukoo]

Thank you to olf and horsecrap (i never thought i'd thank 'horsecrap').

I'm glad to see there are one or two people who can enjoy, or at least accept an image like this.

Just for those who didn't like it, i hope they approve of this one more.



To be honest, i think i like it more. It hides the rough work i did, and keeps you guessing.

This is probably asking a bit much, but i'd hope that the people who were a little harsh on me and the image before could open their minds, swallow their pride and be man enough to say sorry.

how did you do the coin font? And I am

a.) Shocked people actually reported the post as
b.) this is photography, by default that encompases art. This is art, the word sublime - look it up. It challenged people and as such, to me, that is great art. Well done fella

How did you do the coin font? I'd like the original of yours to pint and stick on my wall but all the art in my house is my own, however plagerised

I like the fact that it challenged people, yes, and it did raise a smile from me.... but at the end of the day its no more than a cheap stunt much akin to the Myra Hindley face made out of children's photos, or the tent full of prior sh@gs' names.... controversy is its only real draw. Can you 'shop a sculpture of Maddie out of nachos?

It would however go down a treat on b3ta.

Technically its also an offence, although no need to burn effigies of Blukoo please

The tent was little more than a slags shag list - shock value for 2 seconds then we all realised it was just a list a lot of men wished they were not on.

This, to me, stands on its own beyond the giggle factor and I know I'd like it on my wall but I wouldn't pay for it
