In memory of dear departed shit twit post I saw today, here's Dr Funky's Top 10 of the Most Pointless/Talentless/Self Publicising/Bullshit People/Gallerys of Urban Art
1. Nick Walker/D*Face never have two 'artists' failed to live up to the meagre expectations of fanboys, continually failing to find new ideas and generally forgetting that being a street artist means actually doing work on the 'streets' that doesn't become a saleable object within 5 minutes. And somehow on top of this managing to make large amounts of money.
3. ZeroCool Gallery some things are best left unsaid, this was best left unheard of almost.
4. Shep / Obey - what a fucking mess, self righteous, right on, image stealing, poster production line, tiresome, dull, waste of time. Could have been a contender in a parallel universe.
5. Every single fucking blogger, each and everyone of you (yeah I know), loving/hating everything, full of pointless knowledge, hidden agendas, thanks for the pictures.
6. Fenella and Clifford fucking insane, unstable, unbelievable self absorbed bullshitters of the highest order.
7. Rourke/Agent Provacteur/Ben Slow/David Walker and every other nickel and dime artist continually pushing their average average slow death by a thousand bore draw pieces on a suspecting pre-pubescent public, via mutual back slapping and anonymous comments. May they all get sacked from their real jobs.
8. Eelus - for the twitter, for the facebook, for being so darn dull, plain, a place at Asda's customer service desk awaits you
9. Faile - for the 4 million editions of the book, for the 4 million prints from 10 years ago, for Faile.
10. Rhys Ifans you're not cool, you're welsh
I'd like to nominate Remi Rough as the most deluded money grubber for thinking street art owes him money, and Dale Grimshaw as the biggest narcissistic whinging adult baby for putting his piggy-eyed face on almost every picture he paints about his traumatic abuse-ridden childhood. Well, boo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteI put forth Hush as the very pinnacle of the turdulent tower of urban art.
ReplyDeleteShamelessly steal some hentai images and combine over the top of some cack handed "hand styles" (that would make even a pre-teen tagger wince) to get that authentic "urban" grimey feel and only paint on the "street" to advertise an upcoming show.
Oh and Copyright for all of the above (just change hentai for faux punk imagery)and hanging around like a winnit on Hush's ringpiece.
There's room for Hush at number 2 there Dr Cunty, you missed that one out, and how appropriate to have Hush aligned with a number 2.
ReplyDeleteNow that he's given up on biting on Faile (but still using Conor Harrington's backgrounds AND colour palette) he now appears to have been looking to Insect and Micallef pieces from 2007 for 'inspiration'.
ha ha I saw that new Hush geisha guff and his constant mentioning of it being freehand doesn't do anything to ameliorate his output.
ReplyDeleteI nominate Insa in the "biggest lack of imagination" category for blatantly ripping off his trademark heels pattern from Hans Bellmer, not to mention being such an avaricious cunt that he has Nike logos on his prints.
ReplyDeleteDscreet...shit name, even shitter paintings that look like they've been done by a retarded 5 year old. The ability to press the nozzle of a spraycan does not make you an artist. Learn to fucking draw!
ReplyDeleteI'll gladly throw Grafter into the piss pot. Shit, pointless drivel by a disingenuous chancer.
ReplyDeleteAnother one is Snub and all his mates. Rip off an image of an ABC warrior from 2000AD and pump it out ad nauseum. And sticking "powered by kobra" on his shit street work in order to get a few free cans of cacky discount kobra paint is just vomit inducing. Bet he doesn't even get it free, just writing that in vain hoping beyond hope they'll send him box of 6 factory rejects one day.
Tek13. Need I say more? The same blank faced mug of some bint done to death as a 3 colour stencil for the last 5 years. His crew name One Trick Pony says it all.
1 word: Upfest.
ReplyDeleteThe street art equivalent of the worst of Etsy.
Pictures on Walls some of the worst art (?) openings of the year by a mile and some of the worst choices of pieces chosen for print production, must be sponsored by guide dogs for the blind.
ReplyDeletePictures On Walls have always prided themselves on challenging art! We have Zbiok, Petro, Seb Lester, Rementer, Nomad, Grotesk and many others. Great artists!..... Well, OK... They're shit!
ReplyDeletedont forget DED on POW's role call of crap.
ReplyDeleteI nominate myself for being a negative cunt, who hates 95% of the shit on the streets, yet still claim to be a "street artist" so that I can sell a couple of paintings a year.
ReplyDeletewait, I don't claim that. I'm definately NOT a street artist, because when I paint in the streets I don't send out emails to blogs to tell them about it! Surely that is one of the boxes to tick on the "Am I A Street Artist?" list. "Do You Have A PR Team?" "Tick" etc
I'm just a negative cunt, and if you can't hate yourself who CAN you hate!?
No.5 I got there first Dave
