David Lyle / Paul Richard / David Walker

These three illustrate my fickle taste and the thin line, between boring / shit / above average

Firstly David Lyle, for the first few seconds I saw this I liked it 'Buyers Remorse'


from this lot

Then there was David Walkers 'pretty picture'

from the same lot , however hard I try to respect this piece and for that matter all Walker's work, all i see is naff portraits, with too much added to 'pretty' them up, maybe for some that's enough, but for me at least it lack longevity. If you can write poetry inspired by this schlock you're a twisted FUCK.


Finally we have Paul Richard's piece



with any luck this is wholly tongue in cheek and in no way as RJ 'hopes' a plea not too tag a piece too quickly, all merit for this actual work is lost from it's placement next to a Dolk placed purely to advertise a show, a canvas and then eventually a print, ie. this should have been disrespected a fucking long time ago.

  1. Yeah, the top one is mildly amusing for about 3 seconds, but when you look closer at the word that's been photoshopped in and see that they couldn't even get a simple thing like the perspective correct, it then becomes very annoying.

    Every time Reverend Vandalog the Amish preacher speaks it makes me hate street art a little bit more. His blog is about as exciting as a middle-class suburban crochet society.

  3. I just read a HUSH interview on Juxtapoz, which means I can no longer take that magazine seriously as a voice on art
    If you want to waste five minutes of your life witnessing HUSH and Blek blowing each other, here's the link

  4. I just don't get David Walker, its hippie, noncey, portrait wank with no substance and little skill.

  5. Vandalog the fundamentalist Christian preacher is wittering on about some bullshit magazine for diplomats now.

    He's creaming his pants at the idea that an MP might get to see a picture of some cute Beatrix Potter style animals or a dull arrangement of swimming pool tiles. How fucking subversive! Widespread anarchy is sure to result.

    Go back and play with your train set Vandalog, you naughty little moronic schoolboy. .

  6. there's nothing to get with walker. He's just another of those minor gallery artists that gets lumped in with street art as he'll only ever paint on the "street" when there's a show or print to promote with aforementioned image to be marketed being painted badly on the exterior of the gallery.

    Soulless samey portratiture with a bit of token grittiness thrown in as the buyers equate shallow surface roughness as artistic merit and integrity.

  7. p.s it's also summed up as what grafter would paint if he was to pickup a brush and managed to display the modicum of skill walker has.

  9. Decade old stale bread anyone?

    What's worse the moron who pumps out the same image year in year out or the retards who gobble them up without question?

    "Wow it's like so iconic imagery".

    Fuck off and go and rub yourself off on a level crossing sign and forget to lookout for trains.

  11. Coming soon....GRAFTER: THE MOVIE.

    It's a heart-wrenching tale of an obese cab driver battling against an addiction to bacon sarnies and his own overwhelming lack of talent, by using poorly executed and sickeningly sentimental stencils to part lots of gullible fools from their money before sliding back into obscurity. The final scene where he says "Be lucky fella" before driving his black cab off into the sunset with a hosepipe attached to the exhaust is a real tearjerker. (or funny as fuck, depending on how you look at it)
