Interesting to see MBW in there before all the hype.

Im not going to turn this into another MBW cussing thread but he's been hyped for at least the last 12 months so that makes no sense.

To me the list is biased towards people talked about on here.
This list makes no sense !! where is Barry Mcgee ? and how can Os gemeos be nowhere ? no disrespect to Micallef but what has he done in the last 12 months ?

[Daniel Silk]

Yeah, I was also thinking Micallef looks a bit like the odd one out near the top

I wonder if the amount of prints in circulation by each artist comes into play? But saying that, Parla would not be so high.

That list is SO 2008.

[Michael Jacob]

Where the hell am I?
I gotta get moving on some new stuff, so I can make the 2010 list.

2000 and l8 ;D

[shower]

interesting list but it seems to have sort of been skewed by peoples general opinions towards different artists. its a banksy forum so im not suprised hes top but then again he should be after his bristol show. im a little suprised eine and blu arent a little higher, i thought eine released one of the prints of the year and blu was simply brilliant with everything he did. they were certainly in my personal top 5.

no mention of the burning candy crew suprises me a little, they continue to get up and are still londons finest imo. spotted a new mighty mo (new to me anyway) this weekend, i was stoked!

[e15makaveli]

i agree with shower, there seems to be a new piece by one of the BC boys everytime i venture out. i guess its because hardly any of them released though? eines world record print killed it along with a show at carmichael?

[Sacked...]

Any pics of the BC stuff shower ?

[shower]

sorry sacked i dont live in london and hardly ever have my camera with me so have very few pics. i do have a few old pics of some of their brick lane stuff somewhere though.

the new mighty mo, well as i said its new to me, was up high close to the entrance to tottenham court station. i spotted it after leaving the rathbone.

[cadeallaw]
