1/ Id be pissed if I was in BC.
2/ Everyone knows you dont tag a house.
3/ The roof is wavy, probably due to the squatters cannabis factory in the roof space, but I would get it looked at.
4/ Leave the hand rail off on the left it'll add to the general look of the house.

There is a nice video of the occupied comedy club on stokes croft knocking about, I forget where too. Its good to see a true representation of a squat.

hahaha......I love a nice attack. I've learnt not to be bothered by a minority on a forum which really don't represent who buys my ideas. You know the score, if you don't like it move on.
Mike - WK are you joking! there's about 20 people who post and not many more that view. Many of them are the sorts that would go a buy a 7 year olds painting if released by a gallery they respect. Yeh they've had their go at my stuff and many other artists who's work is great but didn't present themselves to their little community in the right way.....not interested. You are obviously a social media expert with all those stars Mike, so go and notch your posts up somewhere else and stop wasting your time here.
The other two - you are the same members that gave unhelpful negative one liners previously. I really can't be bothered.....move on.

Don't ask for people's opinions and then snap back at them if they are not the opinions you were wanting to hear.

Oh not the old text book forum one liner of 'don't post asking for opinions if you can't take the bad ones'. you are blatently attacking not just giving an opinion.
Krypto - given that the person I'd ask buys my paintings it won't be that entertaining.

ok good comment that did really piss me off, well done.
Willywonker - if you were in a room with an artist you don't like would you approach him and say "it really is piss poor"? you probably wouldn't because its rude as hell. Of course I'm going to get shitty nickers

That's bullshit talk to the galleries about what's selling. After the recent Brainwash sales I simply don't agree stencil art is dying. I think it's progressing, but everone is entitled to their opinion.

If I was in a room with an artist and he asked me what I though of his work and he showed me something like this then Yes I would give an honest opinion.
It may be deemed rude but why should I lie to an artist so as not to upset him. He will carry on producing rubbish art. I would argue it would be worse for the artist if I told him something cr@p was great just so I wasn't being rude.
Are you telling me if someone asks you your opinion you would rather lie to them than give an honest opinion.

Just spotted this one aswell.
Wow you really are bothered by my opinion. I'm flattered.
Calling me a cock seems like the only personal attack happening on this thread. I have never commented on your art or insulted you in any way before so not sure how you think I'm attacking you.
In your first post you said "Appreciate comments". You obviously don't, unless they are positive, so I will remember not to post in future.

'My First Squat', by LEVI C on Mar 10, 2010 17:24:35 GMT 1,
I don't do graffiti.
Willywonka - my point is that you were rude calling it piss poor. Perhaps you could have said something like. I think it's badly executed, a crap idea or whatever. I really don't think you would use those words to an artist in person even if they did ask your opinion, because it's just not a nice way to communicate, perhaps you would that's your issue. I don't ever think someone should lie, but if you really hate something I know that typing a foul post is driven a characteristic in you that is just not very nice. You are trying to put someone down and provoke an argument. Agreed, forum arguments make the most entertaining threads and maybe that's your motive, again that's your issue.
Pro - the more I think about your post the more badly placed I think it is. I appreciate your opinion on stencil art, but you have posted it in an area of the forum surrounded by people giving it a go, many of which are very passionate about it. Do you not think more people getting involved is good for the street art/urban art industry moving forward?

'My First Squat', by baileymontana on Mar 10, 2010 18:27:38 GMT 1, As someone mentioned already I'm not sure the title makes sense. Most people who live in a squat don't really want to encourage graffiti on there.
Your comment that you don't do graffiti to Goaty again doesn't make sense to me. There is graffiti in the stencil or is that just classed as tagging?
Have to say that the Banksy Train really nails the concept that you are trying to do in a clearer way IMO (especially as it's on a traiin).
As Silky said keep going
IMO you need to be a bit tougher when it comes to criticism. Just take it, ignore it or laugh at it.
I saw the Banksy film last night and really liked the fact that in the montages of Banksy work, Banksy put film of the window sprayed with "Banksy Is A Sellout". Just shows how confident he is about what he does.

You're right Levi I made a silly accusation but immediately realised it was wrong and if you look at the time that post was edited you can see I immediately modified it before you had even replied.
You still left your comment calling me a cock.
Silky if you are refferring to me as one who has crossed the line I would be very dissappointed as I think I have been polite in my responses to Levi and will stand by my opinion of the piece of art he asked for comments on. You always say everyone is entitled to their opinions and others should respect them.
In no way or form was my post abusive towards Levi himself, just the piece of artwork put up for critique.
Again, as I have said previously, it has become apparent that Levi would only like people to pass comment if they are in favour of his pieces so I will not post my thoughts on any of his threads again.

'My First Squat', by LEVI C on Mar 10, 2010 20:38:24 GMT 1, Thanks for the comment and bringing the thread back on course. I have edited some answers in below as I don't agree withn a couple of points.
Now that two of you have mentioned it perhaps the title needs changing. I literally only picked that title last night because it rolled off the tongue better than "my first derelict dolls house". Either way I still don't think it implies that squaters did the graff?
They are just random bits of other peoples graff to get the message across, I just wanted a bit of bubble, a bit of wildstyle & some real beginner looking stuff to make it more realistic.
Here's the big one. You have missed the concept which is very helpful to me. Yes if I had done a toy truck with graff on I would totally agree, any toy in fact. I chose a derelict house because intented interpretation was to highlight the economic depression. As I mentioned it is still in progress and one of my plans was to add a hammer and some small nails next to the girl, therefore leading people to think that she boarded it up herself after being influenced by the growth of derelict houses through the recession. I have always loved the Banksy piece but it really isn't the same concept. In fact I can't believe I'm going to say this but I think mine is better The idea has one extra angle than a toy with graff on. (sorry had to edit in - obviously not in execution)
As Silky said keep going - thanks
I really was laughing at it, but you are probably right I just don't like rude people!
