lol Hammersmith depot. I work there

That Tox fella does get in all the nooks and crannies of the underground though! Always funny to see a freshly graffed up train

Tox art in the house isnt for me though.

The print's a great idea....

dare to be different but personaly someone writing TOX 09 on the side of a train does nothing for me, doesn't make me think/laugh/smile/provoke any kind of reaction in me. I really couldn't care that he's been doing it for years makes no difference. I'm not gonna look at a tag then have you explain to me for half an hour what it means and why it's so special, surely thats not what its about?? for something to be art in my eyes it has to provoke a reaction or emotion with the viewer. I saw a tox 08 carved into a tube window last night and all I could think of is tax payers money being used to replace it.
before you say some of banksys tags mean nothing, yup they are shit too. along with graf "writers", never understood that.

It won't be tax payers money though it'll be shareholders profits being used to replace it.

Not so long ago you were on here saying you were going to spray up the pavements with roses, that would cost taxpayers money to clean up. Bit hypocritical that you'd consider it O.K. to cost taxpayers £1000's so you could try and get a shag but you're so morally opposed to tagging isn't it ?

[richy00]

spraying roses on a pavement would cause a reaction of emotion, not only for my girlfriend but also many other passers by who it might mean something for them. I'm not sure anyone gets anything out of tox 08

I couldn't care less about the cost. I just said it as that's what I thought when I saw it, I don't pay taxes it's not my money

[Daniel Silk]

I think having a tag by Tox as a piece of art is fine, in the way that its like an historic piece Most people here know of Tox and have seen his tags all over London, so owning one to go up on your wall at home is just like you keeping a piece to remind you of his work.
In say 20 years time you can look back and be reminded of his work long after the ones on the street have been removed.

Of course some people would say that hate the tags anyway and dont want to be reminded of them on their lounge wall and thats fine! ;D Thats their choice.

Read the thread, plenty of people getting something from Tox and it caused a reaction in you so no different to what you proposed, you would have been the same as Tox.

It is your money you do pay taxes, you drive, you eat, you buy art, you consume, you pay taxes.

We have rules that cover that, and I think you will find they were enforced

[graeme501]

thats good to hear

[grantb]

having a tox tag on your wall will be all memory of growing up and like a historic statement as silky said, looking at the tag will make me smile. i would love to have one.

[wiz]

A lot of the works at Lucius are tags arent they?, some of those look real good.

Don’t we have any freedom of speech?? Although I completely disagree with jboys views on this matter and wouldn’t wish anyone to get hit by a train or die regardless of what I thought of them, I do believe that is his opinion and he is entitled to it.

If one of predominant subjects street art speaks against is surveillance/ policing/ a nanny culture state, then surely this banning is a massive contradiction of what so many of the peoples whose work we respect and talk about is against. If we can’t express our opinions, regardless of how renegade, immature and disagreeable they might be then discussion will become very boring and of nothing quickly. IMO of course.

[giiiant]

lol, print release of the decade

must buy

[robinbanks]

Someone please help - I think I'm going mad.

I swear to god I've just read 4 pages of people talking about some kid who writes "TOX" on anything he happens to find himself within arms length of in the same breath as Banksy, Eine and Parla.

justifying myself to whom? spraying one rose on the street to make my girlfriend smile is very very different to some kid scratching and spraying tox into everything in sight. anyway can't be fucked to argue, come meet me for a beer if you want to discuss it.
