Team Robbo at the Signal Gallery

After the absolute bollocks feud, I mean come on finishing with a show at Pure Evils? What the fuck. Here comes the second show, with contributors who could at least make it a bit more interesting (although being described as 'Team Robbo' is not a compliment after some of the worst graf I've ever seen has been created under that name).

Anotherpieceofsponsoredshitefromthetoriesfriend Eine

Brought to you by Art Republic and the London Graphic Centre for 6 weeks only another piece by Eine! Yes now street art can be on the street for a specific amount of time, be sure to witness pieces sponsored to gain a full and wonderful understanding of why it doesn't fucking work once you decide to go this fucking route.

Next up a piece sponsored by Greggs on Pudding Lane entitled 'London's Burning', no hang on, that would make some sense, scratch that entitled 'Lovely fat sausage roll to get your lovely fat banker lips round', fuck no, scratch that too political, so yes, entitled 'patacakepatacake' yes that would be safe and complete bullshit to anyone over three.

Anonymous Says 'Wooster Selective'

'Its always been my impression that "Shit We Are Diggin" Wooster Collective promotes horrible taste. Generally they'll post anything that is sentimental, involves imagery of a young child, or comes from a distant/exotic country. So that the appeal of their blog is most wide reaching, like art on a hallmark greeting card, while it aims to prove there is a "global movement". This "Fresh Stuff" post is an example of the first two, which its their most tired troupe:

http://www.woostercollective.com/2011/03/fresh_stuff_from_michael_aaron_williams_3.html

Grasping at the public's heart strings with kids-in-danger seems like the lowest. Hopefully people have some sentiment for the most vulnerable in society, but to use them to promote your art brand is another kind of victimization. I can't understand how any group of people could be so dim witted as to fall for this. It sucks on so many different levels

I guess it matters less now that Wooster's rating has slipped. During the fat years, they were always a spokes-person to all major media, and that was incredibly disconcerting.'

Conor Harrington in Lisbon

No I don't know the significance, yes the rider looks a little odd, but a cavalry charge across walls is more entertaining than alot of things. Yeah it's better than kid's crayola drawing done by adults, yes it's better than some tired Paint it Black bullshit wit miscarriage and yes it's better than another print by a french american with a fucking talent bypass via his anal canal.

In the Future Everyone will be Banksy for 15 Minutes

We will all put art on a wall, it doesn't matter if its funny, if it's witty, if indeed it has any merit at all ,we will all just conclude it's wonderful, mistake it for banksy and enjoy, perfik

ly dull.

D is for Dull Olk

Dolk has a website! Yes children uncle Funky brings you this news first and what wonderful news it is! A site with pictures, mainly black and wshite stencils from the last few years and boy! Does it remind us just how dull the world would be if it wasn't for colour and inspiration and feeling past it and wishing for death soon?

Monsieur Qui 'Politics Armed and Stupid'

Eine take note, lettering used to convey a message, that has some sort of sardonic meaning

from here

shame the rest of their work is fucking shit, can't have everything I suppose

I'm All Out

maybe i'm just really really slow but what does a massive coporation have in common with street art?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxo_EDSH9yc



That's it they're both ruled by the almighty dollar.sad.

The Art of Subtlety

Obey's charity print release shows the nuanced ability of the street artist to approach a terrible event with respect.yes.

Shoe Gazing Street Art

Fuck if I wanted to be bored to tears I'd be doing some work, fuck this takes the biscuit, the cup of tea, the fucking pot - all hail the dullest street art piece

What a Toy

sometimes life has the propensity to surprise even the most dulled cynic, other times it has the propensity to simply make you want to never leave your house ever again, this is one of those times

Eine 'The Greatest' Review!

'But David Cameron sure made him look like the greatest something'

Yes definitely the greatest something

Dr Funky was intrigued to read a review  stating how this show is a nod to the hype and the praise, a telling wink 'ha ha yes SURE I'm the greatest and here's a canvas to tell you all so'. Somehow at least in Dr Funky's eyes this falls so flat it could be a pancake run over by a horde of baying print aficionado's who have just been told Eine is releasing a print and for 50p and it will be worth 75p in the next 10 minutes on Ebay, so rush to make your money and defend his honour!' Really this whole show is sarcastic? Really? So a range of words from Brightest to Sharpest, point to a knowing nod about his rise to fame? If anything it points to his fans not being the sharpest or brightest.

But seriously take a look at recent work what it says more than anything is, here's an array of superlatives and that is it. Like 99% of Eine's work there is no meaning, just words and usually just one, unless placed somewhere which works with that the word they mean nothing. If Eine really wants to show what the last couple years means, I've some words for him - vacuous, tory fuckwit, legal street art, wine is good, bills paid and fucking handbags for fucking fucks sake.

Mr Brainwash Charity Print

If people need this to make them give to charity, there's no hope for the human race.





In other news 'What the Fuck'.

Xenz 'Pecking Disorder'

Opens this week at Laz Newcastle, a well painted image of a dead bird for the flyer, nice once you've experienced the plague of pigeons (yeah I know it's not a pigeon on the flyer) in London such images will always bring you pleasure.

As for the print some live pigeons, about as exciting as listening to Clegg defending some more policies he's backed down on.

New Obey Print

Shep is now officially so short of ideas he's doing prints of where he's put up work. Dr Funky will be doing a similar print run of places he's thrown up.

See where it says 'Rent This Space'? Shep and Banksy are currently embroiled in a bidding battle for it.joke.

New J.R Print

First there was this

take the same concept, then screw it up, lower the edition and increase the price

then add some colour borders, lower the edition and increase the price again

fuck off

New Bastardilla Print

Pow releases a new print rejoice, or watch it pass by without a glimmer of interest or excitement your choice.

Got Something to Say?

Dr Funky offers the yet to be beaten 'Anonymous Says' service, where you can tell me and my blind flea bitten dog 'Ben' what's got you pissed off, faintly aroused or even half interested . The best (okay most of them) will get published as a post titled Anonymous Says '.....' Email me via my contact details on the About Me link, discretion assured because I really don't give a fuck.

Chris Stain and Billy Mode 'For Martha'

Done for a Carmicheal Show regarding Martha Cooper , nice enough piece, although I always struggle with Chris's work. Shame work like this is done for a show and not just because.

Leake Street Surveillance?

New Candice Tripp Print

Edition of 10 hand finished to justify paying that little bit extra, available from black rat.

This at least seems to have some artistic merit to it, do i like it? Does it do anything for me? No. But Candice has been known to at least show a darkly comic sense of humour on occasion, which is something most definitely needed if you hang around  this arena too long.

New MBW Print

FEAR NOT another shit print has come to keep you company mr Eine, witness the shitness that is a Mr Brainwash print YES it makes no sense YES it is complete shit

New Eine Print

In a series of recent shit prints this is a shit print of gargantuan proportions well done Mr Eine your olde English alphabet and fluorescent background is truly shit

Anonymous said 'Fake's Attempt at Controversy'

Seen this on Flickr this morning , seen it on his facebook account also ..

its been niggling at me all day .. is this not a kick in the teeth and way to offend all the dead, dying, missing and living that have lost all.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lype/5516636515/in/photostream/



Dr Funky says 'Fake one of the dullest sub average pointless artists to grace the toilet bowl of this mundane art form, attempts something of meaning and comes off looking like an even bigger twat than usual.'



And here's Pure Evil's Charity print

I'd suggest anyone who wants to help, donates some money to a charitable organisation directly.

The First Sign of Insanity is Paying 68k

for a terrible TERRIBLE shitty stencil on cardboard, that could have been knocked up by the 10 year old with an obsession with presidential shootings but can't yet do eyes and sold for a tenner at the parish jumble sale.

Street artist Mr Brainwash sued over “copied” image - Article

http://www.theartnewspaper.com/articles/Street+artist+Mr+Brainwash+sued+over+%E2%80%9Ccopied%E2%80%9D+image/23237

Mentioned mainly for this quote in relation to the Koons proposed litigation 'As virtually any clown can attest...'.

Get in your little clown cars litigation lawyers you'll be honking your horn plenty at the money you can make in the street art arena.

New Eelus Print

if the current flood of shit, poorly thought out, hastily adapted, shakey commentary, humourless prints hasn't sated your appetite, fear not another one is on the way!

New From Dolk

The spiral down into an oblivion of poor ideas continues at full speed for Dolk, another piece of kiddie art for the sad walls of the clappy 'my kids will like this' gang. Truly a massive blot of shit in the shit filled genre.

David Choe 'Dirty Sunsets' Print Release

Mark Zuckerberg bought the original and of course because rich people have better taste than the rest of us, it's important that we all agree that this is a wonderful image and buy the print. Orrrrr be totally turned off Choe's work, his seemingly endless pre-pubescent humour and let it all pass as if it was merely  another annoying blog post of some annoying cunt.

Iemza in Reims

from here

Child added for the innocence in our society, insect for the big harsh world, photographed spookily in black and white to add some panache and yet it's so done.

My eyes are just drawn to the tags and thinking, 'that environment, that location whats more befitting? Manufacturing fucked, life's ruined, still making our mark people, fucking do what we do, not even noticed'. Fuck yeah.

Celebrate man's descent into mental illness buy a T

How wonderful it is for scumbag fucking people to enjoy, in fact, celebrate, the self destruction of a another person in front of their eyes (however big a cunt that person is), pat them on the back, think in someway it's cool and try to make some cash out of it.

fucking massive cunts I say, FUCKING MASSIVE

(and that's without mentioning the shocking artwork)

Revolutions – The Album Cover Art of Shepard Fairey

It all makes so much more sense like this, if only everything else he did was even a tenth as striking

'Obey Giant Art x Subliminal Projects x Robert Berman Gallery are proud to present REVOLUTIONS, a project featuring the Album Cover Art of Shepard Fairey. On exhibition from March 12th thru April 23rd at Robert Berman’s C2 Gallery, will be over 80 pieces of Punk, Rock, New Wave, Jazz, and Hip-Hop inspired artwork based on the 12″ record cover format'

LA Billboard Insight

'I have received confirmation that Banksy had permission to tag the billboard in LA. The company that was advertising on the billboard is owned by the same guy that helped finance ETTGS. The billboard was put up with the sole purpose for Banksy to tag it. The billboard is now framed and is hanging in that gentlemen's office. It was Banksy's way of saying thank you.'

'HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!" BY BELLESTAR

A picture it is said is worth a thousand words, unfortunately in these cases it's worth two 'fucking dreadful'

Mau Mau 'Wolf in Sheeple Clothing'

It came out yesterday, it sold out, there's some irony somewhere tucked in there about how the sheeple have been shorn of their cash again but i'll be damned if I can be bothered to find it.

It's not even like it's a bad print. But again it's just so average, another piece that could have quite easily been a cartoon in the paper, quite easily just another poster pull-out from your look in magazine. Walker trots out another vandal piece, dface another superhero piece, Souled Out another average poster and the list goes on.

sheeple meet average print this will make you smile for 10 seconds as you carefully place in your portfolio for the next 7 months, I hope you will be very  happy together.
