Tox is a tagger
it's not a pretty picture for your kid's room
no Paul from Accounts won't fucking appreciate it when he comes round for the match
No it won't go with your curtains
His work is his name, over and over and over and fucking over again, it's when you get on the train, it's when you walk down that alley, it's when you look up at that derelict building, that's what he does, don't fucking try and put it into a neat little 'art I like' appreciation box - you don't understand because you don't understand - now get back to your slippers and your hot chocolate it's bedtime
So why are you even posting this on a bandwagon blog that is dedicated to everything but real graffiti or art by actual proper writers???
ReplyDeleteTo bask and posture in the reflected glory of the spirit that started it all .....now you get back to your slippers etc etc and stop trying to lend yourself credibility with doublespeak and get back to kissing Establishment arse.
wow that was almost as inane as the people who only like pretty pictures.
ReplyDeletethere's no fucking divide, they all have a place, I came into this because of Banksy but I'm able to broaden my taste and understanding
are you?
There's nothing wrong with pretty pictures....from the caves at Lascaux, to Hopi Indian taboos thru to the Flemish masters, Art Nouveau, Ernst Haekel, the Futurists, Braque, Duchamps 'The Bride stripped Bare by her Batchelors Even' ManRay, Jamie Reid but to state that there's no fucking divide between 'Street/Urban' Art and graff is as deep a misunderstanding you can have of the current scene, graff has every tradition of the above, most (but not all) of the 'Street/Urban Art' you seem to cover has more to do with Chocolate Box illustation.
ReplyDeleteJust an extra thought.....
ReplyDeleteif there's "no fucking divide" as you state why did you even make a whole post out of highlighting one as you did in in the above TOX rant??
Looking forward to hearing etc
After reading through your blog a bit more I reckon youve got a pretty damned healthy attitude to a lot of stuff, but if you're gonna front on TOX and diss ROBBO WRH you gotta fuckin HELLUVA lot to learn, and hey if you can see thru the bullshit so much why continue to post these twats you are dissing??? Just stop!! Does Obey really deserve 23 posts for being a sweatshop profiteering plagiarist making dollar outta blood won anti CIA contra war art????....look further afield....dont believe the hype. Bless X

ReplyDeleteI respect Tox and Robbo for their history, Robbo's spat with Banksy is pretty fucking weak - by that I don't mean you can't go for Banksy hell yeah go for your life, but the Team Robbo bullshit jesus it's lame and does more damage than good
as for 23 posts about Obey you know I moan with the best of them, but I do like some of the chocolate box illustrations so fuck yeah i'll cover it and i'll keep moaning, because you know what? This is my place to write my feelings , it fucking pisses me off, the fucking two faced money grabbing attitude, the covert counter culture bullshit. But i'll keep covering it and i'll keep moaning 'cos thats what i do. Maybe someone will read it and think 'yeah', but at the end of the day it makes me feel better.
hey i really appreciate this space.
ReplyDeleteartsy people here in brazil would learn a lot from your rants, heheh.
cheers
Simply the fucking best print ever to come out of this bullshit print frenzy, Souled Out Studios who ever the fuck they are did something that took the piss in a way that didn't even take the piss.
ReplyDeleteI want one, but I don't.
