That really is poo poo. Banksy even sent in a letter to the Evening Post denieing responsability at the time and then Laz took a photo of it and stuck it in his book ;D

Dodgy how ?

[hick]

jboy you are a clueless wonder, your utter stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
Banksy is no different than tox (except that he has been excepted into the lower ecelons of the art world) he has thrown up illegally on walls for years , just because you rate one but not the other it doesn't mean one is right the other wrong, they both piss people off and cost money to clean etc. and as for your comments re: paying for crime and knife wielding thugs I pity you i really do , also what is this banksy is clever , tox is a chav business?

I actually think you are very good value , a bit like a forum david brent........

Your a bit special, a bit stupid and with a mouth bigger than your brain never fail to raise a smile along with my blood pressure

tox does half of what banksy does.

banksy sells because of message.

tell you what how about this certain section dont start by having a go at my opinion, i respect yours so instead of the first paragraph having a go at me... just talk about the subject

also just to add, why would you want a tox tag in your house, the only clever thing about them is that they are in really hard to get to places.

cant say the same for your downstairs toilet, unless you have a bad case of the shits

[They call me Stephen]

by that reckoning why does work by the likes of eine, sweet toof, sickboy, espo etc etc sell?

fair enough if you don't like tox's work (art is subjective after all) but it doesn't make his work any less valid. we might all like banksy's work but there are many people who view him in similar light to how you view tox. fortunately banksy hasn't stabbed any of these doubters...yet!

Trouble is you want to be listened to, but come out with some of the the most vile comments ive read on here....how do you think people are going to react ?

[Steal From Work]

and so, at the risk of repeating myself, and denying jayboy any more unmerited debate...
this print is alive with more history and seminal anarchy and energy than most of the witless douche baggery perpetrated in and around this forum in the name of art, street, graffiti or otherwise.

i mean, while we're sort of talking about it but not? compare, contrast.....i think this is a better debate than discussing the relative merits of jayboys ill informed and quite dull comments. hoiw does this fare against the rest of the art hawked on here? i take it souled out studios are releasing a print of a tox tag.....isn't this a amore interesting point than slating plebs?

I agree with what you are saying stealfromwork, Tox’s work is the epitome of street art but is he devaluing this and his own credibility by releasing a print for the masses?

Where as Jboy considers Banksy, Eine et all to be street artists whilst Tox merely a tagger, I believe that street art is in essence something that stems from the street and Tox is the purest example of this up until now. How can someone so anti-establishment however, conform to release prints and the consumerist nature that this entails and still be held in such regard as an out and out street artist? Is this and any future print releases by Tox destructive to the allure that surrounds him. Surely part of his appeal and attraction was that he was only available where street art is meant to be, the streets.

Can anyone confirm if the print is just his tag or is this speculation at present?

Let’s not turn this into a jboy bashing thread please...they're boring!

[cashman]

I cant see why anyone would be intrested in anything other than a tag
...thats what represents him

[bullet]

why would you want a tag though?

as i say the tags are clever in clever places.

they are just a tag in your front room

because the rats are doing something witty with a message behind them

unless a few drips on a tag is enough to get excited about nowdays, but anyone can do that

Did you know Parla is part of the crips ??

still just a tag though. If Tox layered up a load of his tags on a textured background it would be essentially the same thing.

And a simple tag is graffiti in it's rawest form, like a stone block it can be assembled into something of outstanding beauty.

which brings up a good point.
We are all bitching on about this AND HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN WHAT IT IS. Who knows? Tox might be an awesome artist and do a mental piece, not just a tag. Or it might be shit. I dunno
Shouldn't we be seeing the piece before making judgements?
