Jean Michel Basquiat, Original or Fake ?

Jean Michel Basquiat ?

I bought this today in Covent Garden from an antiques stall. Bought it because I loved the drawing. It was only when I got home that I looked up the artist.

The seller who sold this to me told me that it was done by the artist whilst in hospital and given to a friend

Now, I’m pretty sure this must be a fake. His work sells for $1000′s of dollars and I paid a lot less.

Do you think this is original or a fake ?

Taken upstairs from the window at work. Thanks to Dan for supplying the legs. The latest in my Giants series. Waiting at the Station, Late for the Train, Head in the Clouds.

And another one.

I think I like this one more as it has better composition.

Just playing around with Photoshop CS3, mixing up some of the photos I have taken. (for your info, the photo of the Martian is taken in Woking, England where H.G.Wells wrote War of the Worlds)

Ideally, I’d have a few people looking up in horror and not just walking nonchalently by on their way to the tube.
