I reckon he's deliberately pitched this one a bit lower than usual. So instead of being designed to appeal to his usual audience of borderline retards and sun-readers he's going for the full on mongy dribblers this time. No offence to those kind of people of course. After all...they need their artistic needs catered for too. They've probably got a fair bit of disposable income as well, so it may well be a very calculated and shrewd marketing strategy.
now to me, this is back to why "street art" was fun a decade or so ago, before it became about names and fame and money. it's a stupid joke, and it uses a piece of naturally occuring street furniture. it's completely unimportant, and as throw-away as bathroom graffiti or adding eyes or a smile to something that looks like a face. it's not trying to sell me anything, and it doesn't include the name and flickr address of the person who made it. it's just stupid, mindless, fun.
but of course none of you lot can enjoy street art now that you think it should be important, that it should say deep meaningful things, now that you've got used to seeing it in art galleries, and have invested/lost money by buying it.
that's why street art is dead to you - because you expect something from it. artists owe you nothing. and if you don't like what you see in the streets, just buff it!
damn... I'm far too positive about everything lately...
Save your lectures for people who care, you self-important bore. You always seem to think you're some kind of revelatory genius, showing us all the true tao of street art, when in actual fact all you're really doing is trying to justify your own shitty street 'art' to the world. You got the 'stupid' and 'mindless' bits right, but there's nothing 'fun' about either you or Banksy. You're both a pair of tedious egotistical deluded cocks. Go and wank each other off while telling each other about how you're such glorious public benefactors, fearlessly entertaining the dim-witted masses with your kiddy level daubs.
I agree with Dave here, you fuckers should lighten up. I'ts a bit of fun you miserable cunts, there won't be a print so you won't have to worry about it diluting your portfolio collections.
Bit of fun?? It's not even funny though. You'd have to be some kind of head lolling, tongue hanging out dribbler staring at it from the window of the special needs bus to get amused by this.
Maybe you don't have a sense of humour? You're not a yank are you? do you understand sarcasm? It's a pun, an of the cuff witticism, there is no deeper meaning,nothing need be explained. There is no need for a philosophical debate regarding it's worth. It's a nice little humouros cartoon, an innoffensive friendly bit of vandalism. It is what it is. I like it.
Fuck's sake...did you really think this needed to be explained to anyone?? It's the most juvenile, obvious, weak piece of shit I've ever seen. It wouldn't even merit inclusion in the Beano or Viz. If you really found this humorous then you're a subnormal dribbler...end of story.
it's not a lecture, it's a comment. this is a blog, not school. how is it you read so much nonsense into my comments? you're just upset that the people you hate come on here, that it's not just your little playground of spleen-venting. and do I care about your comment? oh how you wish I did! it's difficult to be upset by people so unimportant they don't even have a name.
Oh the pun-ishment. One for his blue rinse set.
ReplyDeleteerm about 2-3 weeks too late? perhaps his team of co-writers were on holiday
ReplyDeleteCome back Grafter, all is forgiven.
ReplyDeleteTumbleweed.
ReplyDeleteMassive cringe. It's the street art equivalent of dad dancing. Even the fanboys are trying to gently sweep this one under the carpet.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me while i go get a bottle of Jack and sit watching forumites masturbate heavily over this. I'm quite the voyeur.
ReplyDeleteErm, its been up 3 weeks...
ReplyDeleteGot any evidence to back that up?

and do I care about your comment? oh how you wish I did!
it's difficult to be upset by people so unimportant they don't even have a name.
I've got a name bitch. I just don't feel the need to mention it every 5 mins like you do.
ReplyDeletefucking brilliant .. you gotta love a bit of whimsy
ReplyDeleteYou are Banksy's PR agent and you're not fooling anyone, so fuck right off.
