FREE GUY DENNING PRINT, by wimpy on Feb 3, 2008 15:29:58 GMT 1, I say nice one Red Propeller, never mind the bollox comments, giving away a free print is an excellent gesture. Why do people feel inclined to slate someone when they are doing something off their own back and positive? well said, just goes to show how bored some people must be in their shallow little lives.. haha! ;D
I don't see where anyone complained about RP giving away a free print.
We are talking about the work itself and not the giveaway. So who really is shallow? Riiiiiiiight.

FREE GUY DENNING PRINT, by wimpy on Feb 3, 2008 9:53:40 GMT 1, It appears as if Guy may have actually used SH@T as a medium here.
Like a New Pearl Harbor (Project for the New American Century), is probably the single most ignorant and overly presumptuous title for a crap piece of artwork.
Finally, cashing in with FIVE different crap images of the same 9/11 crash makes it all laugable to me. Should be giving all the prints away.
Cheers.

What's best for sketch book graff?, by wimpy on Feb 1, 2008 16:43:13 GMT 1, People usually get a book of graph paper to learn dimension/depth, if you haven't already.

Dain 🇺🇸 New York Street Art • Collaged Portraits, by wimpy on Jan 29, 2008 8:04:20 GMT 1, You have to wonder if Bast took a page originally out of Dain's playbook as the Lint site mentioned Dain hitting walls in the 80s.
Anyhow... as I've said before... I love my Dain stuff.

Bast needs to pay that girl to glitter his Disney toons, eh? Definitely aesthetically pleasing on top of being a good deed.

Who will be the next President?, by wimpy on Jan 17, 2008 14:33:38 GMT 1, Who cares as long as they don't try start anymore bloody wars! Sort out your own house b4 invading others..
Someone seems to be blocking out his country's own history.
Anyhow... Hillary is the most qualified.
McCain is, too, but I really don't want to risk him having any flashbacks with his finger on the button.

Hanging prints..., by wimpy on Jan 16, 2008 15:28:49 GMT 1, What about areas of high moisture (near a window, fish tank etc) providing the piece is covered by frame. Not-ideal-but-okay idea? Bad idea? Very bad idea?
Worse idea than over a radiator. Much worse.

Cartrain 🇬🇧 Tate Gallery • Damien Hirst • Gilbert & George, by wimpy on Jan 15, 2008 17:25:24 GMT 1, So you started this thread knowing that he'd get bashed as a well-planned stunt based upon the "any publicity is good publicity" idea? How much do you charge to set up a forum for someone like him and put it in the link-box above? How much "free" art did you get out of it? Or have you taken absolutely nothing except the good feeling you get from helping a "nice kid"? If anyone has a stake in his rep, it would be you, right? I know many people would like to believe that but I get paid nothing, and I actually bought two pieces from Cartrain (might have been the first ever pieces he has sold) and I paid him over three times the amount he asked for ;D
That is why I asked instead of making blind accusations or assumptions like "You all would have probably dissed Banksy before he got hyped".

Cartrain 🇬🇧 Tate Gallery • Damien Hirst • Gilbert & George, by wimpy on Jan 14, 2008 22:13:03 GMT 1, I dont agree, Silky. I do plenty of work on the streets, but unlike cartrain (and many other fame hungry "artists") I choose not to sign my name and also find my own unique spots to do my artwork. For me, my street work is about the art and the message, not about me. Furthermore, my most inspired moments as a working street artist have been finding my own spots for my work and seeing other artists put their work around mine. In fact, recently I put up a stencil in Brooklyn and because I dont sign them, Borf came along and tagged his name underneath the stencil! made me laugh when I saw it. My point here is this: "Artwork [Anything] that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don’t go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a s**t.” - Banksy my two cents.
I can't give you enough +'s for that. And I'm sure I've walked by some of your stuff then, eh.
I'll drop another Banksy quote (which happens to be right above Jay's) to add to the point...
"People look at an oil painting and admire the use of brushstrokes to convey meaning. People look at a graffiti painting and admire the use of the drainpipe to gain access."
I really don't admire him using Banksy as a drainpipe. Do you?

Cartrain 🇬🇧 Tate Gallery • Damien Hirst • Gilbert & George, by wimpy on Jan 14, 2008 22:07:23 GMT 1, Does anyone find it funny that his name lends itself to his style? He must be the caboose car of the train, an ass-end hopping along for the ride.
Okay... that was a bit harsh...
Oh! Wait! Rumor time! Perhaps Cartrain is Banksy! (5 of you start other threads saying this in different ways and pretend to not have seen the other 4 so you can get attention).

Even I knew better when I was an 11 year old punk skating around Philly tagging crap.

Non Banksy...Faile based question, by wimpy on Jan 11, 2008 12:34:11 GMT 1, It is on card, for sure.
I think Elektrik Sheep or whatever had a few of these, so more specific details might be on there.

Faile versus Aiko, by wimpy on Jan 8, 2008 9:45:09 GMT 1, From what I gather it's a bit of a taboo subject, but does anyone care to share why the split took place? Artistic differences?
Closest thing to an explanation I've seen was in the Swindle Magazine interview with the 2 Patricks. One sure thing is that they obviously still respect her and value(d) her input.

Faile book, by wimpy on Jan 5, 2008 21:45:52 GMT 1, $45.00 or so originally... for the hand-screened covers at least.
There are only about 5-10 actual Faile pages in each, with the rest being contributions from other artists.
