'Dots' Burning Candy Film

I see Vandalog has details of this film about the Burning Candy Crew called 'Dots' and a boxset of prints to help fund the project. Good luck to them with the venture, the prints are well, nothing special, perhaps more indicative of what happens when a graf crew who's work 'works' on a large scale tries to put it on an A5 piece of paper, it just doesn't 'work', (cyclops being the exception) here are the prints, edition of 150 coming in at 500 pounds!!!



More entertainingly is the author tying himself in knots over ensuring we know he has financial ties to the project and therefore is not objective 'And for those curious about my personal involvement in the film and print release, I’m helping out friends and artists that I believe in, but I’m also getting paid for my work' .  This statement in response to Wooster Collective helping the promotion of the Banksy film in the States and feeling betrayed by their lack of clarity their response to critism here. What a fucking ridiculous group of events, for a start anyone who reads said blog knows the author is friends with various artists etc so will never be straight down the line with them, so to get all prissy about Wooster helping one of their friends is just a fucking joke in itself. As soon as you start writing about something you love you will inevitably develop affection for certain people and your writing will be effected, get over yourself.

Also if you love them so much why do you need money to help them?

I'd like to say Dr Funky fucking hates everybody, but loves himself regularly up to five times a day.
