What's it like to live with Banksy
It's enough to make you rip out your eye balls and shove 'em down the blouse of the nearest mrs funky, but no I have to look.

it's bad enough all these stencil artists that are poor immitations of something which isn't all that great in the first place, but it's fucking pathetic to see so-called contemporary artists using Banksy to get some fame
ReplyDeleteand since we know he lives in a farm house in Devon why the fuck has she shown him at some modern architecture house in the suburbs
terrible photoshop work, and it clearly shows Ms Smith has a knowledge of street art going back no more than a year
the style magazines will lap this shit up
Him reading juxtapoz made me want to vomit and then re-eat that vomit so I could shit it out.
ReplyDeleteFuck, I've seen it all now. Vanda£og - 'A Street Art Blog' (though in reality a gallery hype blog), has been freshly subtitled as 'click to advertise here'...which is ironic, but unfortunately not a joke.
ReplyDeleteIt's always read as one long series of adverts anyway, so I suppose the basic intent behind it might as well be out in the open, rather than trying to insult our intelligence by continuing the charade any longer.
What really shocked me though was the current advert they're running for a street artist 'talent agency'.. "All City Outdoor provides metropolitan marketing solutions for brands that want to engage audiences in a unique manner via Street & Graffiti Art advertising. We provide many marketing solutions that enable brands to highlight their street cred & youthful innovation via Street Art."
So basically, Vanda£og is getting paid by this company who recruit street artists to make corporate street art.
'A new low' doesn't even begin to describe it.
I wonder who will be the first in line to sign up for that. I reckon Rich Simmons, Grafter and Remi Rough will be near the front of the queue. I wouldn't be surprised if VNA are behind the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteThe noble gaylord says he has to do this because he's got 'some bills to pay'. Here's a newsflash Vandalog, we've all got bills to pay, but most of us don't do so by trying to pimp out street art like it's our own personal bitch that we can send out to stand on the corner.
ReplyDeleteDon't be fooled by the innocent 'I'm just a kid' act that he always puts on. The cunt would probably sell his mother's vagina if he could.
when is mrframeman going to finally fuck off and stop promoting his is grossly overpriced framing jobs on .info
ReplyDeleteGrafter broke into London Zoo last night and raped 25 chimpanzees.
ReplyDeleteI heard on the vine that that story is untrue
ReplyDeleteLondon Zoo doesn't even have 25 of our brothers locked up in slavery
Please don't insult us in this way again
So Dave, are you gonna sign up for Vandalog's talent agency and spread your botty cheeks for our corporate masters to bully ram without mercy?
ReplyDeleteOk, I admit I was joking about the chimps.
ReplyDeleteHe did rape a couple of zebras and a camel though.
talent agencies will only take on those with talent, so that counts me out
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why you're all so surprised that he has a corporate sponsor though. his blog has had a "shop" button for ages, so it's not like he wasn't clearly a capitalist. at least now he can't hide the fact that the majority of his posts are pr led
It's not so much that he's a capitalist, that was pretty obvious as you say. It's more the nature of what he's advertising. He pretends not to like advertising that masquerades as street art, yet he's blatantly promoting an agency that is dedicated to that very thing!
ReplyDeletewell since most of the text he writes seems to always support both sides of an argument it's hardly a surprise that he's happy to be paid to promote something he says he doesn't like!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure prostitutes don't like to suck the cheesy cocks of stinky old men, but everyone needs money in this modern world... if you catch my drift
Well, he should sell his bumhole on Gumtree then if he
ReplyDeleteneeds cash that badly.
Street art isn't his personal property to whore out when
he feels like it.
actually, street art is EVERYBODIES property - that's kind of the point. It's just as much his to sell as it is yours to defend.
ReplyDeleteThe problem arises when anyone tries to own something that is there for everybody. I read a story yesterday about a woman who fell in love with a beautiful bird. She admired it's colourful feathers, was cheered by it's song, and loved to see it soar through the skies. She claimed to love the bird so much that she caught it and locked it in a cage.
The bird ceased to sing, it's feathers grew dull, and the woman lost interest. The bird died. Instead of something bringing beauty, her greed killed it - even if she tried to diguise her greed as love. If that story happened in 2011, she probably would have started a blog about it, and spent more time writing about the bird on the internet than she would have spent with it in real life...
Yeah, true. Except the people who write those blogs actually seem to prefer the caged dead version. It appeals more to their repressed sensibilities because it's non-threatening. It comforts them too that they can own (and therefore kill it) in the form of products, because they're like babies who have never quite been psychologically weaned off of the bottle.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, here's a bit of light reading for you Dave http://www.primitivism.com/case-art.htm
Try mentally substituting 'Street Art' for 'Pop Art' and 'Banksy' or 'Fairey' for 'Warhol' in the following passage...
"Pop Art demonstrated that the boundaries between art and mass media (e.g. ads and comics) are dissolving. Its perfunctory and mass-produced look is that of the whole society and the detached, blank quality of a Warhol and his products sum it up. Banal, morally weightless, depersonalized images, cynically manipulated by a fashion-conscious marketing stratagem: the nothingness of modern art and its world revealed."
