Only joking.
I really like the image, with the magenta and yellow being my favourites. I would personally have worded it "We are watching you Big Brother", but that's just me.

Maybe the words 'watching' 'you' 'big' & 'brother' on each of the four colours?

Zhao πΈπ¬ Print Release β’ Show News β’ Art For Sale, by highly framable on May 24, 2012 12:23:41 GMT 1, the stencil will be part of zhao's year long project. every print of his will come with a free stencil.
please use it and email the pics to us. and you could win the last 2 CHAIRMAN squares (ON CANVAS!!) valued at $100,000,000 (by us).
yes 100 million US dollars. each.
it doesn't need to be illegal, spray it on a hat, on a t-shirt, or a pizza box, a bald patch, whatever, every pic you send counts as 1 entry.
zhao & us can't do it here, because it would mean years in jail with whips that tear flesh off your ass.
to learn more, google "michael fey"
anyhoo... we've received early entries already!
check these out!

And spray the stencil onto "a bald patch"? While I love the idea of someone spraying the image onto their body parts, it could lead to someone make a "Giant" ass of themselves....

Used to know a guy from Singapore, his uncle used to discipline him with a rattan, I gather they use a large one when a crime is committed.

What does the Chinese text refer to in your print? I douldt it's entirely random, and somebody has already hinted that it's based on a quote.
The more I look at these, the more I like them.

a mythical creature of the internet age.
a popular/rampant way to dodge censorship on the interweb when criticizing authority and admins...
it's also how most of us feel about censorship/media freedom...
also in the name of a piece by weiwei... that got him into trouble...
here's more info:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass_Mud_Horse
it's naughty & nice.

Dirty and nice. Well done Zhao.
Pity Have to make quick decisions when seeing them for the first time, which may be like 2 seconds, judging from the last chairman drop.
But the first impression could be the most accurate one anyway.

and do keep the comments (good/bad/whatever) coming... winner of the free stencil to be announced soon after release!

Maybe I'm being extremely naive, and if so I apologise, but I find it very interesting to compare this thread to the one about the new POW prints, and the Goldie portrait of the Queen. It seems to me that of the three options, this is by far the most rebellious, and brave release. I mean, I find it hard to imagine anyone being caned for saying that they don't like the British establishment, even if they write it on a public wall.
Keep up the good work guys, and looking forward to seeing what you do next.

Even if you scribble "The Singapore Government is the best and I want to lick you all over", you'll still get your tushy punished to shreds. Typically they award 8- 12 strokes. And normally people faint after 3 strokes. They actually wait for you to recover consciousness before resuming hahhaha.
I myself have used different ways of dropping prints on the streets, ala Neate. But if caught they still can fine me plenty for dumping. Makes it more exciting though.
