Painting these in the streets for 10 years? So how come I only saw the
first one in the streets two years ago? And don't say I didn't have my
eyes open, coz I been living and working the streets of London since
the mid 1990's
"live graffiti"??? It's not graffiti if you have permission
STIK has got to be the pinacle of street art bullshit. I don't hate
the work, it's a kind of poor-man's London Police, and it's not as
shit as some of the stuff I see. But I do hate the bullshit. The lies.
The desperate attempts to get famous. All. The. Shit.
Let's hope he ends up crawling under the rock that Eelus is hiding
under since that god-awful African abortion.
Shit. We're gonna need a bigger rock to fit all the egos under...
Totally agree on this. A year and a half, maybe 2 at the most, but where on earth they got 10 years from is anyone's guess.
ReplyDeleteI been in the scene 25 years and the first I saw of this mug was two years ago round the old Shoreditch cliche dumping ground where crappy dreams go to be sold.
ReplyDelete^^^^Fuck off Remi ^^^^
ReplyDeleteOOoo - got a bit of the arrogant cuntitis have we:

So you must have the all seeing eye. Get real, how the fuck can you honestly state that you know what has / hasn't gone up in the last 10 years. I've been living & working on the streets of London since the early 70's if you want a dick waving competition, but it means nothing. Stik on the street, good, Stik in a show waste of time. As for 10 years, I wouldn't know, and honestly don't care
He's painted a few pieces in the last few years, mainly in squats, or on their outside walls. But from what I've seen, 2007 is about as far back as his street art goes
ReplyDeleteI had a long chat with him one day. he also makes performance art where he stands naked on stage screaming, and makes some kind of S&M gear out of old tires
Nowt wrong with his pieces on the street. No point in his pieces in a gallery. Really no point in a screen print when he could no doubt paint originals as fast as it takes to make the screens, print the prints, clean the screens, and all that jazz
but I have to agree, there's too much bullshit spoken about artists. and not just street artists, but art as a whole
hell, there's too much bullshit spoken about EVERYTHING!!!
stik to the streets mate, don't join the liars club
caught him doing one these in a high vis jacket on the corner of bethnal green road and sclater street about 2 months ago.
ReplyDelete10 quid says he will have a show at pure evil's 'gallery' soon.
I'm looking forward to getting myself one of these prints so fuck the lot of youz!
ReplyDeleteBit strange that in that blurb he's said to work with Reclaim the Streets. They've been defunct for about ten years now.
