What's going wrong atm ?, by mace on Aug 18, 2013 4:50:18 GMT 1, I got the impression that recently the number of releases that are cute, wall-friendly and amateurishly composed is massively increasing.
Just a few recent examples (and I know these artists can do better):
Eelus - After the rain, Roamcoach - When you wish upon a star, Static - New constellations www.welikestatic.com/editions.php?productid=1355236877
I started to get into this urban art thing cause it was witty, challanging, accusing or just pushing things.
Almost seems like Brainwash has made such releases acceptable here...
Or is it just me ?

It seems to be all about wall/girlfriend/kid friendly images, there's no grit to releases at the moment.... It's all so DULL.

You like some/you dislike some/its the way it goes.

I agree there are loads of 'cutesy' ones coming up but there's still so much more to urban art than those.

What's going wrong atm ?, by freakinstyle on Aug 18, 2013 17:26:28 GMT 1, Once upon a time there were a couple of guys with no money, no job, no people that understood them and it felt like being in prison. They decided, nothing to loose, let's get a boat and get the hell out of here!
They discovered an island and reported back what they saw. Everybody was excited and were all ears. With every step they took on that island they discovered more and more. It seemed a never ending discovery and everybody started to know these guys and it made people do effort to understand them.
But the island has a limited size and reaching the other end meant that it felt like everything was discovered. Other people joined them and saw the same stuff, some reported that back and for those that never got the initial reports would still get excited. The real discoveries were only made by digging deeper in the soil, climbing higher in the trees etc. People also came to marvel and see all these things themselves.
Now there are people joining them to discover for themselves having learnt that there is money to be made. They started discovering good spots to drill for oil, killing all the romance.
Yes, still good stuff around, but it is hard to discover in a crowded space, so we will see similar things as in the past. Or less risky stuff, that 'hopefully' everybody likes. We are addicted to likes. There isn't enough of what I call 'negative push' where people have nothing to lose and take risks.
Time to discover a new island?
Sorry, it is Sunday.....
