So by now everyone who has any interest will know that Barack Obama got an Eine from David Cameron

Although Ben (Eine) exclaims surprise it's fairly obvious there was discussion prior and you can hear Nelly Duff licking their lips as they salivate with the prospect of actually shifting some of Eine's work.
The wonders of street art and the depths it will go to for some money and recognition, all involved have really thought this through. Ben any comments on, the VAT increase which is effectively a regressive tax? Any thoughts on public sector cuts of 25%? Any?
No I thought not, fuck off and take your lame lettering with you.
You don't get many comments on here, but you sir are a legend!
ReplyDeleteHi , just read on .info that you said it seemed you were the only one with a problem with conservatives being in bed with street art .

apologies if its not cool to post the link , just wanted you to see this.
Thanks not been on there in while! I wonder if Jax is in anyway related to Silky?
ReplyDeleteWhy would you say on the forum that street art is finished as a voice of dissent? Just because one particular 'street artist' (more like an ex-yuppie turned sign-writer) wants to get in bed with politicians then all other street artists must be the same as well?? I've said it before on here Funky, you are looking in entirely the wrong place! The forum/gallery mainstream bullshit scene you frequent and promote is full of right-wing pricks with no taste in art, who wear tasselled loafers and cardigans wanking off over a lot of weak commercial trash masquerading as something cool and revolutionary. It's fucking embarrassing!!
ReplyDeleteIf you want real dissent then you need to look elsewhere. It still exists, but you need to make a bit more effort to find it than just accepting what you're fed on the internet as being 'street art'.
what makes you think i don't know that already? I'm making a point on the mainstream.
ReplyDeleteEine was never a yuppie
ReplyDeletehis ugly tag/throw-up shape thing was pretty much all city in London in the mid-90's
he's done his time
now we just have to wait until he comes up with an idea...
