Story and pics here:
I really like them, the artist captured both in absolutely iconic poses we know them well for. Much better than the Jimi Hendrix statue in Seattle, and as good as the Beatles in Liverpool (though it would be a dream come true for me to visit all three places)
Cool. But why do I think of Nelson’s Column?
Whatever happened to pedestals?
Yeah, the poses are excellent. But the details… Let’s just say I’m surprised you can make Mick’s mouth even uglier than it really is.
I think I prefer an earlier design that depicts the actual meeting on the Dartford platform. Keith with his guitar and Mick with his stack of Blues records.
Yeah, they broke the first rule of statuary, which goes back to the ancient Greeks - avoid showing teeth.
Boston needs a Jonathan Richman statue.
I thought the city in the topic name was “Detroit” at first, which left me somewhat puzzled.
The “'80s Mick” is going to look awfully silly within 20 years of Mr. Jagger’s demise.
The “'80s Keith” is totally unrealistic in that the figure looks too alive.
The set-up looks ideal for tourists to pose with the statues, so it’s bad that the faces are easily recognizable as Mick or Keith.
I’m a big fan of Jojo. I have met him a few times and have seen him perform well over twenty times since 1987 or so. Are you really comparing him to the Beatles and the Stones? Most people haven’t heard of him. Off the top of my head Joe Perry is probably the most famous rocker from there and I wouldn’t give him a statue.
Something no one has ever said about Dartford before!
I have to agree. I was going to post but couldn’t find the right words. I think you nailed it!
IMO, it’s a given that Mick has to appear with a sneer of some sort, but he’s been made to look like an old woman puckering up to put on lipstick. You just know that vandals will do something in short order.
I like the poses of both and nearly all the details of Keith’s statue, but something’s not quite right about Mick’s face. Looks more like Steve Winwood than Jagger.
Yeah, let me know when they erect a statue of Brian Jones.
Hah 
! The only thing I know about Dartford is that Mick and Keith were born there and now have statues…
It’s an industrial wasteland that you (literally) drive over when you’re trying to navigate London’s nightmare traffic circulatory.
Breath in the beauty of it
Ah, nice! At least that’s an architecturally interesting bridge, though ugly.
