I was chatting to him just last week, His canvas did really well at the Pez charity show and he seems to be a geniune bloke so just drop him a line.

[jboy]

thanks ill send him an email. I've put my name down for a print from him and eelus at tonights show as i cant make it so am looking forward to seeing what it is!

[pezlow]

Yup adz is a top bloke. Things are really happening for him at the moment and he's got a lot of stuff going on. Watch this space...

[jboy]

Yeah his work seems to be a bit under rated. I really like it, especially his smurf print thats genius! By the way, i had an email from one of the organisers of the planet patrol do tonight that eelus will for once NOT do any star wars stuff for his print. Sounds interesting...

[pezlow]

The canvas he did for my charity auction was stunning. The image was created using tiny dots of acrylic ink. Must have taken him hours and hours.

[jboy]

That looks like a good piece! Has he released many prints at all for sale or has it always been at galleries so far?

[Simococo]

Hi guys, I was the highest bidder for the Adam Koukoudakis canvas you are showing below. I agree its a stunning canvas and well worth the money!!

There were a lot of jealous people on the night of the auction! Congratulations. I saw it in the flesh and it looked great.

Is anyone else planning on going to Cargo tonight btw? Me and Mrs Stylus will be there...

[Simococo]

Yes, I am going with a couple of friends. Looking forward to it!

Do I sense a slight warming towards Adam? Previously a lot of forum members didn't really rate "that smurf bloke" at all. Personally I have a Bleedin' Smurf canvas and Cheeky Pigz and love them both, the Smurf looks great on the wall. Adz is indeed a top bloke and I for one wish him every success. If he gets together with a reputable print house and releases a few good pieces I think he could build quite a following.

[jboy]

He was voted in Arena Magazines top 365 things that will rule 2007. watch this space...

Totally agree and may happen sooner than we think

[Art-el]

Very knowing Pezlow,do I detect inside info?

[mammal2]

I have spoken to Adam on the phone last month. He has a great space in London now and is working on alot of new stuff! Should be great!

[dotdot]

Did anyone get a hold of the cops image he did ? - class.

Must email him about that - now i remember.

The dot image was also quite cool.

There was a thread on Adam a while back - some pro and some neg -
from what i heard from him he's a sound bloke - all the same !

..

[rydal]

I think the cops image you are talking about is Cheeky F**kin' Pigz which I do have. I can tell you that the yellow one is Adz himself - how about that for inside info!!

[romanywg]

Personally I still don't rate him, but probably in a minority.

[Winter]

Add me to that minority. Saying that he sounds like a nice fella and if he brings out something that appeals to me then I'm more than happy to change my views. Good luck to him.

[jboy]

Personally i think his stuff is more witty and simple than some of the crap ive seen people spend their money on, but then i'm probably in a minority!

What is 'crap' in your eyes, just out of interest?

[jboy]

I'm not going to mention any names as that would cause a whole load of mischief. I just mean prints and other pieces that are complete crap and people just buy for the sake of it because its new thats all. A bit like hamsters hoarding any food they see is a good analogy i would say!

[carlito]

I think the great thing about this about this forum is that it opens your eyes to new artists.

I'm going to keep an eye out for new works by Adam.

I think there's an awful lot of decent prints coming out at the momentl....

give us a clue about the 'crap' ones I'm interested too
(promise no minus respect points from me)

[jboy]

I agree, i am all up for new artists. I guess we all have different tastes its just sometimes a watch people buying prints for extortionate amounts of money and they are just buying for the sake of it without appreciating what it is. They are almost buying it because everyone else is and i just think thats a bit weird thats all. Each to their own i guess! ... and i think Adam is one to watch out for as once he gets himself established he has got some great ideas, there should not be any snobbery involved just because no one is buying his stuff.

[carlito]

true enough no snobbery just go for what you like... ..

[RetroCanvas]

Well,

It's only a temporary thing, the render needs taking off of the castle so its being used as the artists canvas before it gets pulled off.

Cool project though. I bet they'll hate it when it gets ripped down.

Anyone else go to Cargo last night? Had a chat with Adam and Eelus, what a top blokes. The work they were doing on the night was amazing. I think its great these guys are so accessable and to see them at work was awesome.

There is a whole load of great prints coming out. I started off collecting James Cauty but now I have diversified and started to sell some of his works that were never going to make it into a frame and bought art by lesser known artists that will. Tastes change. Maybe I will like some of Adams work later down the line but at the moment nothing of his makes my jaw hit the table.
