The Art of Negative Reinforcement or what's commonly known as the 'Jago/Vermin' Effect

I look around the toilet pan sometimes and wonder 'is that shit?' , seriously 'how did I digest that?', I flush twice, wash my hands and then wonder through the hallowed halls of Funk Towers, thinking 'times are tough but still that kwik save mince was a bad idea!'

And so to the hype machine, when the same names pop up again and again telling you of a wondrous artist and the same names pop up repeating 'how sick their shit is', 'it's like got colours and it's bright, it's awesome!' and how they've a commission on the way and everyone should buy one

please

anyone?

All those positive platitudes, all those same plea's, all I start to hear is 'shittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt bullshittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt'. The artist may even be good, but I'm fucked if I even care anymore.

Some may wonder, 'is this real?', 'who has bought what?' , 'do they simply need validation for their poor taste?', ' this has to be worth something someday doesn't it?' , 'hang on, I'm sure a month ago they said they were friends with the gallery/artist?'

Don't take everyone for morons, don't fucking tell us it's wonderful when you'll sell it in 6 months to fund your next great find, don't fucking ask us to stroke your ego, don't fucking repeat yourselves over and over again, fucking bring more to the fucking table than kwik save mince.

  2. Kwik-Save is even more dead than street art Funky. I suppose today's equivalent would be Aldi, which is where most street artists should probably think about applying for a job stacking shelves, if they haven't already.

  3. I have a Jago and a Vermin and they are unbelievable! You need to get these artists right now or repent like a Jordan. It's got nothing to do with being there part time agent, half brother, daytime gofer, I swear!

  7. Are we talking about Mr. Jago?
    He paints some pretty good shit, and sure as hell ain't a street artist, don't think he's ever claimed to be one, just a Bristol Bumpkin who likes to draw robots.
    As for people trying to make a fast buck off flipping his or any one elses work - bunch of fucking leaches. they'd probably sell their grannies organs on the internet before calling the ambulance when she has a stroke

  8. another fantastic brain fart from funky...put your money were that mouth of yours on when a brand new secondary market is built by people buying things they like

  9. Very funny to read Matthew Tompkins (wilfsboy) laying into people.
    Maybe he should take a look at himself before he starts judging others. On the grapevine, he is about to get into serious troubles over threatening someone to the extent of hurting that persons family member.

    If he is not careful, he will be subject to a harassment and police investigation into threatening behaviour.

    Plus i hear he is a fat welsh sheep masturbator.

  13. I doubt there isn't anyone on the scene who wouldn't like to twat that wilfsboy wanker. He really is a nasty lying little cunt.

  14. Rather ironic seeing him and Jbay argue about ebay sales and who's the fatter of the two wastes of skin.

    It's like Jedwood having a scuffle over the last can of hairspray in their dressing room.

  15. At least jboy has some balls, wilfsboy is such a cunt that even his grannies vajazzle is less of a saggy bastard.

  16. They're both as noxious as each other and equally unpopular like a carrier bag full dog shit or tramp shit on a summers day. How I did laugh at Jboy saying the majority of forum members wanted Wilfsboy banned.

    P.S Hello Jboy I thought you hated this pointless blog what with all that stink you tried to whip up against it after some old chap you don't care about got called a miniman fiddler in a vain attempt to gain some popularity?
