[slowmo]

but everything post faile has been a little weak though?

[Ad Hoc Art]

Please do check out her new show with us online here:

adhocart.org/index.php?option=com_rsgallery2&Itemid=70&gid=48

Most everyone has been very impressed with strength of the new work.

Thanks and take care.

Andrew

p.s. remember when you click the link that you are looking at 2 artists...Lady Pink & AIKO...two person exhibition.

[slowmo]

Access denied. I aint knocking her work, just havent felt the hello kitty and bunny work, which has dominated. Liked the bus.

There are links to view the work from here:

I think Faile are rather good actually...

[Ad Hoc Art]

I wanted to make it clear that we here at Ad Hoc Art are very impressed with the incredible artwork produced by the Faile collective. We are fans of what they do as artists and appreciate very much their place in the current art scene.

We are just glad to see that people are realizing that AIKO is rather good as well.

Aiko alone sucks IMHO!

[Ad Hoc Art]

A thoughtful critical analysis of what you think works or doesn't work about AIKO's work as a solo artist would be very welcome. Saying that her work sucks doesn't tell me much. Thanks.

1800garrett will probably change his avatar after reading my post, but he's an Aiko fan and doesn't even know it! His avatar is from Faile's Smoking Silence print (which he owns, as posted in the Faile Forum). The girl featured in the image was created by Aiko and in her current show there is a piece which is sort of a reference to Faile, and in that piece she has re-appropriated the girl to give it a new meaning.

With Aiko's work there are just so many details and textures that aren't visible online. I think with most art, when you see it in person you get a different perspective and appreciation.

I'll try to post more pics later that I took when I saw the show, but let's just say that I think both Faile AND Aiko are both producing great work. I don't see a need to take sides. Boys vs. girls? That's old-school. Like kindergarten. In any case, welcome to the Aiko fan club Garrett.

Photos show 1800garret's print and avatar on top. Below, Aiko has reclaimed her heroine for her own artwork. Two detail shots from a piece in Aiko's new show.

This entire argument is non-sequitur oddkabob. He said Aiko's work post-Faile sucked, and you showed a piece of her's that she did while WITH Faile.

[oddkabob]

francis, i didn't think i would need to spell it out, but I wrote that I think the art produced by both Faile AND Aiko looks great. Aiko with Faile. Faile after Aiko. Aiko solo. All good. Also, the pictures referenced show Aiko's work both with Faile and after Faile, and as I just said, but I'll say it again since you missed the point, I think they BOTH look great.

I'm beginning to wonder why, though, certain forum members are so pro-Faile and anti-Aiko. Being a fan of Faile, I'm more than happy to see the work Aiko is making. I mean really, what do you gain by putting down Aiko's work?

[bobbymeachamjr]

It is what it is. With people just looking for ANYTHING to get Aiko buzz going - she ain't doing it. She has every "advantage" in the world.

Alright, I tried to help you out, but you are still not seeing it. Not going to saying anything else, except that you need to work on your reading comprehension and logic.

You should also respect others' opinions and see that not everyone will like what you like.

[chickendog]

at the risk of getting jumped on, i just wanted to say that i like aiko's new work a whole lot

peace, love, over & out

[ollys]

As far as i'm concerned she was FAILE

[woodsman]

Has anyone got one of these. Are they hand finished? Any good in the flesh for that matter?

[Ad Hoc Art]

I have had a lot of complaints that the Lady Pink and AIKO artwork are mashed together making it difficult to tell which is Lady Pink and which is AIKO. Now, on the website, there are TWO separate links for each artists. No more confusion. Thanks to everyone here for all the great feedback and advice to help our website work more properly. MUCH appreciate. Keep the good advice coming!

I was told it was a "fling. She wanted him to commit, but he said that he is in love with someone else at the moment and would "think about it".

[tmccarthy41]

I'll take her

Thanks for the heads up. Just got myself a "King Champion" screenprint.

[skelly]

I was thinking about the "King Champion" but I prefer bigger prints

[kronoopus]

I am taking offers on an Pink Aiko Hand Painted and Sprayed Stencil Bunny. It is done on canvas paper and measures 17"H by 11"W. It is from an edition of 8. Signed on the back.

Thank you.
