Skins Collection, by kingleopald on Apr 6, 2008 14:41:57 GMT 1, Fair play VanDal. Cheers for your response.
Obviously an emotive topic for me. The whole skins thing scares me a bit because all the horrible negative shit that went with the movement in the 70's/80's is in danger of getting glossed over in the process. The extremist attitude wasn't the exception, it was the norm.
As for the use of the flag, I totally agree with you that the union jack can be used as an image of multiculture, but we are talking about different flags - then and now.... That's what I meant about the union jack in the context of this image. In the 70's/80's a skin with a UJ WAS a rascist statement.
I could have just written another 'great image' plaudit, but outside this forum of art heads that's an image that still has negative connotations that have affected people's lives . You're right, art is all about using strong images, but by not titling it, IMO you're in danger of risking glorifying what was basically a bunch of fucking thugs running round the streets spreading terror.

Skins Collection, by kingleopald on Apr 5, 2008 22:51:15 GMT 1, Hey Rourke .. Origins of skinhead culture were much more linked to multi-racial Working Class unity. It was more about the music reggae, ska, northern soul being part of that culture or spring offs from it. All well and good but this is not the image of a multicultural skinhead and the union jack was never about a multicultural message either. This is the sort of cunt who stabbed my mate with a screwdriver because of the colour of his skin.

mau mau, by kingleopald on Dec 15, 2007 0:28:51 GMT 1, Heres an interesting one.Was speaking to a mate last night who told me mau mau did a series of bushman pictures a few years back(i checked his site - and there's one canvassand a 'bushman' graf piece from 2003). Apparently, one of that series was... wait for it...... a bushman stalking a shopping trolley...

mau mau, by kingleopald on Dec 10, 2007 14:37:29 GMT 1, Not sure. Think Sewerside was more of a collective. I used to go to their parties in the late nineties which really used to kick! Turned up to glastonbury in about 2000 with this massive sound rig and a skateboard ramp. Think they got kicked out for breaking licenses and running all night. Was the best thing there that year! Anyway, good to see Mau Mau getting some decent props these days.

Souled Out - Beejoir, Mau Mau, Cyclops, Westerhaus, by kingleopald on Mar 1, 2008 23:02:04 GMT 1, think theres a market for stickers that stay sticky. i thought mau mau stuff was good too.And it's all drawn free hand, which is something these days...
Will have to go back for a better look on account of some knob dimming the lights too early on opening night... All that said though, was refreshing to see that feistiness! MM's work the genuine article.

Souled Out - Beejoir, Mau Mau, Cyclops, Westerhaus, by kingleopald on Mar 1, 2008 22:10:39 GMT 1, I heard that along with the oher acts of civil disobedience taking place in the basement that night there were a couple of chicks wearing the orange sold stickers as bindis. That might explain the confusion....

Mau Mau "Whack Donald" Print, by kingleopald on Jan 9, 2008 23:51:53 GMT 1, Wasn't overly convinced by his work - used to think it was a bit raw - but have definitely changed my mind. I've seen him work and man can certainly paint without props. I actually thought his stuff at 12 days was some of the best there.
