Lister at POW
the shutter work's complete to verify 'street' credentials, the carefully crafted handfinished prints lie ready urging you to believe it's a nice little original at a good price, now it's just about time to see if it works with an artist who's work doesn't translate to the print medium at all

I see POW still haven't decided how much they are going to rinse their mug punters dry with this release. It's very desirable though!
ReplyDeleteSo sick of seeing that fucking ugly face he paints everywhere. It looks like Heinrich Himmler or the evil teacher from Grange hill. I'd rather see a corporate advert than that shit. Mind you, there's not really much difference between those and street art these days.
ReplyDeleteFeels like i have seen this image time and time again from Lister, wearing thin now, maybe thats why he is dishing it out to the print brigade? last throws?.
ReplyDeleteI thought that Anthony Lister was with Elms Lesters in the UK, has he jumped ship there too?
ReplyDeleteEveryone jumps ship for Elms, they're fucking useless.
ReplyDeleteThe rumour mill has these valued at £300 quid a pop! Gotta be having a laugh right?
Just looked on Vandalonghead, what a fucking waste of time that was. Almost every single post is an advertisement for some shitty gallery show or other that nobody cares about, and which are only on there because the people behind it have some kind of connection to the Gaylord himself or his circle of friends. No comments at all on any posts...the communication is entirely one way.
ReplyDeleteThe hipster cunt reads this blog and he has been made aware many times of the dullness of his corporate advertising approach and the damage he's causing to street art, but still he persists in blindly ploughing his rut of self-interest.
Cue some capitalist wanker on here telling me how he's got "his own voice"...yeah maybe, but it's a soulless monotone droning that mimics the conservative themes of authoritarian power structures.
This is what the American political system has given to the world...teenagers who consider themselves liberal or even radical, but who in actuality have got the mindset of an 80 year old Tory peer of the realm who wears tweed jackets and plus fours and enjoys pheasant shooting on his country estate.
The sickest thing about it all is that he persists in calling it "A Street Art Blog".
GIVE UP THE PRETENCE NOW VANDALOG, YOU FUCKING SUPERFICIAL POSEUR!
stop press !! lister is a king compared to his fucking rubbish.....
ReplyDeleteMind if I ask what the idea behind them is ?
I think this sort of work should really just be left to speak for itself, and not have the baggage of any of my ideas or explanations.
I will just produce work that I like and happy with and hopefully others will enjoy it as much as I do.
Thanks!
oh my fucking god !!!!
Didnt Elms close down?.
ReplyDeleteIn a previous comment on another thread I compared street art to the artwork of people with Down's syndrome. Somebody challenged this statement, and so I have subsequently done some research on the subject and found that Down's syndrome patients have actually produced some very good artwork, especially at an art school in Mexico which only teaches people with that condition.
ReplyDeleteTherefore I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologise to Down's Syndrome sufferers, for unfairly comparing their work to street art, when in fact the art by the people with Down's Syndrome is in many cases far superior.
These are garish and ugly. I pity the fool that pays £300 for one of these.
ReplyDeletepoint all this in the direction of the trainer collectors on expresso beans, they will lap it up
ReplyDeletethey look like they're the doodlings of a fashion student coming up with a new line of tight fitting trendy t-shirts to sell from a market stall to mugs on Brick Lane.
ReplyDeleteHaha, very true. They sell those mexican wrestler masks down there as well, to complete the ensemble. I had the misfortune to visit there on Sunday. What a fucking hipster hellhole that place is now. The council have socially cleasned all the interesting stuff from there (the poor people selling junk) and now it's just a generic trendy theme park for middle class wankers.

ReplyDeletehaha all Silky needs is to get his mate Remi Rough to bring his paintings to life with some of his stock masking tape interventions.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Sickly spent all of 5 mins smearing a few black lines on a canvas before he had to have a lie down for 24 hours to recover. Got no ideas or talent for design and can't draw? Go abstract!
ReplyDeleteVandalog is being paid to promote Ron English.

ReplyDeleteVandalog does Gaia pro bono in the hope of a reach around. And thus the circle jerk continues ever and anon.
