Obama beachballs

Bollocks?




Crass, weak, appropriating to cause outrage and just simply not very good. But like, the gallerist is a great guy so it's all okay.

  2. Angelo is great! So what if it offends Blacks? We just have a laugh kicking these Obamas down the road. Saves us from knifing more Stephen lawrences if we did not get this out of our system! Angelo at Studiocromie stands up PC cry babies! More golly presents! More wide eyes and red lips, just like back in the 50's! Angelo is cool because hes an Italian that dont give a shit about being a racist. Being a racist is cool, its the new black!

  3. The gallerist explains... "in my opinion, its pretty funny that being german, he plays with nazi images and being white he plays with racist images and being male, he plays with pornography and sexism and whatever"

    Yeah, sounds like a right laugh.

  5. The fact Funky chose to post about this today shows easily lead he is by posts and peoples opinions on .info - Boris Hoppek has been using that face for years. Reminds me of someone who gets all of their news and opinions from the daily mail.

    What are you going to post about tomorrow Funky? Iguess if we keep on reading .info we'll be able to guess soon enough.

  6. .info is the major marketplace for the urban art scene. If something controversial like this is featured there then of course it's going to be a news story. Maybe the artist has been using this face for years, but has he ever linked it to Obama before? Even if he has then it's still worthy of mention because not all of us could have possibly be aware of every bad taste piece of 'art' on every artist's website in advance.

  7. Look on the bright side... this has got to be the lowest point of steet art.

  8. you're acting like this image from Boris Hoppek is new.
    he's been making this character for a decade, it's like his logo.
    do you get pissed off when buying new sneakers that Nike are still using the same old tired logo?
    Boris's work is often supposed to be offensive (or at least challenging) - he attached a view up a girls crack to the underside of an arch last year, so when standing under it you became a midget looking up a girls skirt! Though I guess that's so close to porn you internet addicts have become desensitised to high quality photos of snatch.

    artists don't make work just so you can have something nice to look at, something that makes you feel comfortable and cultured (as your love or the more painterly/fine art work you feature shows you like)

    you should be applauding him for making shit that stirs things up a little. most of the dross in street art is the same tired old ideas over and over again (see Eine, OBEY, Banksy, DFACE, and pretty much everyone else)

    The fact that you see this as a black man says more about your opinion of black people than it does of Hoppeks. I don't see this as a black man, since black men don't have black faces and red lips. if anything it looks more like typography used to make a simple face. a cartoon character that could be any type of person, animal, or other. an emoticon. we all have lips and eyes. The colours mean nothing. Have you ever seen the Muppet Show?

    I think you've just run out of shit to moan about Funky. maybe it's just too cold for all these pussies to go outside and make their (f)art so you're lacking a diet of bile-raising fodder...

  9. Bullshit Dave, this is in the tradition of golliwogs and the black and white minstrels. For you to even try to excuse it shows that you're a closet racist.

    Besides, your sneering assumptions about us all being label-obsessed consumerists is getting boring. Last time it was iphones, now it's Nike. I don't own either, so go fuck yourself you snob.

  10. The whole idea is that it's a black man.  That is the point, it does matter that the colour is black and the name Obama.  It's based on the minstrel shows of the 19th and 20th centuries and blackface entertainment, which promoted a mocking racial stereotype.  He is trying to adding humour thus making these images appear more acceptable when the historical meaning dictates it is not.  He is making money off the backs off racism.  Golliwogs are not acceptable for similar reasons.  Ignorant people found this stuff acceptable back then too.  Jesus Christ I dispair.

    Blackface is a form of theatrical makeup used in minstrel shows, and later vaudeville, in which performers create a stereotyped caricature of a black person. The practice gained popularity during the 19th century and propagated American racist stereotypes such as the "happy-go-lucky darky on the plantation" or the "dandified coon "
    In 1848, blackface minstrel shows were the national art of the time,
    translating formal art such as opera into popular terms for a general
    audience.
    Early in the 20th century, blackface branched off from the minstrel
    show and became a form in its own right, until it ended in the United
    States with the U.S. Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s

    Wikipedia

    Until today, when a key dealer in Urban Art, (which ironically was pioneered and nurtured by predominantly black, mixed race and hispanic working class youths until hijacked, comandeered, dumbed down and owned by Banksy, Lazarides and their legion of public schoolboy artfags and their white middle class design student cohorts ) decided to ressurect it and sell it to this new culturally and ethnically cleansed brigade of completely clueless .info cunts

    Yes a rubbish bag full of 'trash' and bearing the same design.

    Check these out then, urban art comes full circle, the pioneers become the enemy, their oppressors become the hero.....cultural imperialism triumphs.
    This whole 'culture' is sick.

  15.  Angelo is a sick fuck with an anus the size of a football, even Grafter couldn't miss! Studiocromies is housed in a district where Italian neo nazis rule, so its no surprise he supports these works. Scum is as scum do, Angelo and Boris are laughing as we fume while sucking each other off!

    ReplyDelete
  16. So many assumptions and so little time. Yes id heard of the artist but thanks for the lesson Dave there's nothing less appealing than being talked at whilst trying to sleep.

    Why was this posted? Simply a street art gallery is selling it and whether you find it racist or not, is frankly not the point.

    It's fucking shit.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I've just been informed that due to the negative comments direct towards the KKK headquarters at studio crombie, care of this website, chief dragon Angelo has written a letter of apology to Obama himself...Good golly Barrack, sorry about all this cotton picking monkey business, its only a little black humour really & its all gone bananas, what do you say we call a spade a spade & end all this whole dark episode between us ? Feel free to swing by for a drink sometime.Angelo.

    Using Obama's name does seem like an intentionally retarded scheme to get publicity.
    Is there gonna be a Jay-Z ball or a Pele ball?

    ReplyDelete
  21. He did that pretty quickly.  Although, thanks to 'Same shit different name' we can still ponder on the tiny images below the links.  It will serve as a snapshot in time for when people revist this blog in 50 years researching the Urban Art movement.

  23. Panic over.  You can still see a full sized image of the "Tiro Al Negro" ("shooting black" if your spanish is not very good) and someone with a sling shot aiming at the minstrel target.

  25. Correction.  Tiro Al Negro actually means Shooting Black Man in Italian.  At least they spell out what they are doing nice and clearly.

  26. To the person who asked if he's going to do a Jay-Z ball....he's already made a Tiger Woods doll with this golliwog face, and another black person too, can't remember who it was right now, but I saw it on his flickr earlier. Some pretty fucked up stuff on there.

    Of course Silky supports all of them, with a face likes he's got, he would not be loved by any other group except nazis!

  37. The racist sheep shagging cunt Wilfsboy has bought 10 of these. He's keeping a few for himself and is gonna flip the rest at the BNP xmas party. 

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hmm...imagine inviting your black friends over for dinner and this piece is sitting on the sideboard. Could be a bit awkward. 

    ReplyDelete
  39. This would not cross their minds as an issue as they don't have black friends just acquaintances who would never be allowed in their homes.

    Wilfsboy has already been shown to be a racist cunt on the other forum.  I met him once, I didn't know it was Wilfsboy until after the event unfortunately.  Vile person, even my dog hated the fucker.

    Racists love an opportunity to voice their views in situations like this.  The same people always comment on these things given the slightest chance... is this 3d del naja artwork racist? pfftttttt lame.  Some are just ignorant as to what Angelo is doing, they don't get it... whilst others know full well but play dumb.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Maybe someone who knows a bit about these people could please get in touch with Searchlight, the International anti nazi/fascist organisation and magazine I'm sure they'd be very interested indeed in exposing them and those who allow them to operate on the Banksy forum to the whole world.

    People have already written to Silky complaining and to ban Angelo Arsehole but he has refused to reply. He is using a Urban Art Forum to groom Nazi idealogy. That is the goal.

  42. Let's all complain to mummy and write angry letters. failing that lets kill him.



    I'm so angry!

    ReplyDelete
  43. maybe I just don't think of it as a black man as none of my black friends look like this

    you've proved your point though (I assume, can't be bothered to read and check links) - Boris is a massive racist. Must be something to do with being German (though, living in Germany and having many German friends I know that Germans find black people fascinating because they're "so exotic" - that's the words of a German, not me saying that)

    He's also no doubt a sexist pig, considering much of his other work.

    I'm glad he puts all his hate out there in his art for the world to see what a massive cunt he is, rather than hiding it in the comments section of a blog

  46. Dave,you said

    I'm glad he puts all his hate out there in his art for the world to see 

    how can you legitamise violent race hate like that, make it acceptable like that ????as soon as it becomes acceptable it becomes normal, dehumanise a minority, legitamise violence against them inwhatever medium, like your pal boris is doing and angelo is promoting, like Hitler did in the 1930s against the Jews in preparation for the holocaust.... and its easier to persecute and hurt people, I suggest you and any other apologists (and anyone who wants to understand human evil) watch Five Steps to Tyranny....

  47. Oh Blimey, I knew it was only a matter of time until some cunt mentioned Hitler and the persecution of the Jews.

    Godwin's law.

    I also find it hilarious that morons like 'Bob' are morally outraged by a plastic beach ball with a stupid face on it but find it wholly acceptable to wish that someone who's honest enough to put a name to his opinions gets stabbed.

    What a hypocritical cunt. Keep posting Dave, you mostly tell it how it is.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Muggy racist cunts like you and Dave need to get stabbed so that you will stop spreading your vile ideology. Actually though, stabbing is probably too good for you...I'd like to cut your dad's cock off, stuff it in your mouth and then set you on fire. 

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hot off the press... you describe it as a plastic beach ball with a stupid face on.  It represents a black persons face, Boris has said so himself, so basically you think black people have stupid faces.  You racist cunt, go fucking stab yourself.  Just cos the Banksy forum has racists on it does not make it any more acceptable.

    You really are a stupid fuck.  Which name am I more likely to think is someones true birth name 'bob' or 'dave the chimp' ?

    Some white woman taking pictures of her kid as a minstrel and posting them on a forum saying the kid  understands what he is doing?  no, you are imposing your racist views on a 7 year old child.  With poor parenting like that the kid does not stand a chance... still maybe he will be the next Boris or go one better and become the next Hitler.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Dave, you are they only one that keeps bringing up the fact he is German everytime you post.  No one gives a shit he is German you twat.  He is a white man taking the piss out of black people.  Just like Angelo, you try to defend him but have nothing to defend him with because he is racist. 

    AS LONG AS BLACK PEOPLE STILL KEEP GETTING KILLED BY WHITE PEOPLE WITH THE ONLY REASON BEING THAT THEY ARE BLACK, AS LONG AS WE STILL HAVE A PROVEN RACIST POLICE FORCE THAT TAKES 18 YEARS TO GET TWO WHITE MURDERERS TO STAND UP IN COURT, THEN NO WHITE MAN CAN MAKE A JOKE OUT OF BLACK PEOPLE.  I WOULD SAY THE SAME ABOUT DISABLED PEOPLE AND HOMOSEXUALS.  ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST - SOMEONE THAT HAS NOT WALKED IN THOSE PEOPLES SHOES DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE DISCRIMINATION.

    ReplyDelete
  52. It's a well known fact that Dave had to leave London because everyone in the world of street art hated him and he was highly likely to get his head caved in, so he went to Berlin to hide under the protection of his neo-nazi mates. 

    He's nothing but an arrogant, nasty, haughty know-it-all moronic racist cunt with zero talent, who urgently needs some humility beaten into his tiny mind. 

    ReplyDelete
  53. So thanks to Bob and snoop I've now stabbed myself in the body and eaten my dad's severed cock. Despite this nothing has changed, you're still both a pair of thick cunt daily mail readers and that beach ball is still an inanimate object with a shit face.
    When news of this crap piece of laughable art was released I cringed with embarrassment on Angelo's behalf. It's racial undertones stood out a mile to me and delving into this artists work has unearthed a worrying trend of bigotry and hate in his output. On the other hand I can't possibly take sides and share opinions with tosspots like Bob the cunt and snoop the a level student. It would be wrong so I'm off to buy one and then burn it in a mini protest. Hoorah.

  54. Hope you liked the taste of your dad's penis. With any luck your mum will soon get raped in all of her filthy holes at once by a gang of Somalians.

  55. LOL either Hot off the Press is the same person on the banksy forum (I cant be bothered to check the user name) that mentioned the Daily Mail or you are just stupid and copied it as a reference.  Daily Mail readers are the racist ones you idiot, have you not read the comments section? and understand the way the Daily Mail hypes up their readers by provoking them with things about the Chinese stealing peoples dogs to eat because they have eaten all theirs and they don't like cat meat? The Guardian readers are the liberal anti racist ones.





    Please don't stab your self, I don't think they were being serious.  Just chop your finger off instead.

  56. Angelo is a racist, he told me he would never suck a black dick. He only would reconsider if he was in a gang bang with two up his anus, then he would suck one sideways.

  57. I'm more astonished by Angelo's reponses. He sounds like a completely spoilt grown man who still lives with his mum.
