After a week of rumours and excitement solely about a possible Banksy print, pictures on walls have updated their site and various news sites have info, opens tomorrow 1 Berwick St, London.
Poor old Dr Funky has suffered a severe mental breakdown, and all you can think about is a print???
I think we should all take some time to reflect on just what he was going through to bring us this site, until sadly it finally became too much for him.
Urban art destroyed his life and his sanity. Let that be a warning to all of us.
Looking back now, somebody should have picked up on the obvious warning signs... for example the other day when he said that he liked that drawing of a person with both feet amputated, it was a last desperate scream for help from the depths of his tortured psyche, but unfortunately none of us recognised quite how bad things had got. Now I'll always be left wondering if there was something more I could have done.
sorry...all this talk of a POW xmas show, with badly hung, piss poor selection of 'art'...is this 2006 again? Marks and Stencils? as a name? really? hear d*face and Nick Walker are some up & coming artists to keep your eye on...
Nah, Banksy can't draw. If anything Dran has helped Banksy out with the illustrations for his prints over the past few years, and he's been given this show as a kind of reward.
I read a nice little Dran book today. some good jokes, some even deeper ideas. a lot of teen angst and people being punched in the face though. but good enough for me to defend him here. Lay off Dran you scumbags!
What the hell is that print with the bus? Is it supposed to be a tribute to the dead? or is it the bomber getting his 70 virgins, mass orgy style!?! whatever, it makes me feel uncomfortable, and if I was a member of the family of one of the victims I'd be upset... kids today...
I'm in the queue already, wanking myself silly inside my sleeping bag.
ReplyDeleteI need another sleeping bag, mines wet right through and stickier than Vandalog wet dreams of Gaia!
ReplyDeleteAnybody know when the print is being released ?

Is Dran really Bansky trying out his new illustration work?
