MIKAEL-LOVE BOMBS. UP NOW!, by xmyart on Jun 11, 2012 17:04:50 GMT 1, Looks like they are the cardboard ones politrix. They seem to have folded up corners. Think that is what the free ones they are sending out are on.

Yeah these are pretty cool... Placing them beside a Chinese altar makes them more meaningful. Street art in Asia can be very tricky and dangerous, your ass is literally on the line... This guy is a crazy nut 
I wonder how the 8 canvas ones look like, probably gonna get the green one...

MIKAEL-LOVE BOMBS. UP NOW!, by Gentle Mental on Jun 14, 2012 1:07:57 GMT 1, yes. the city's almost 100% cctv'ed (i think), and dropping cards, neate-style, is about as far as we could go.

Mikael's still adding layers as we speak.
media of choice, raw canvas sheets. Paper's too weak to withstand the abuse!

MIKAEL-LOVE BOMBS. UP NOW!, by escapree on Jun 14, 2012 17:07:51 GMT 1, I'm still waiting for mine hf, will post them up when i've received them!
Well I think they're kept simple and nice... very nice of politrix to share the pics. To put all of that across as hedious, that's pretty rude to politrix anyway.
As for those featured artists in the video, they are the real unknowns. While most try to make 'street' graffiti in their own studios and legal walls, this guy's having the bombs dropped every corner. That's more interesting.

MIKAEL-LOVE BOMBS. UP NOW!, by highly framable on Jun 14, 2012 17:26:34 GMT 1, we like hideous. there's a thing about pretty street art. they blend too well. become clutter too fast. so yes. hideous-ness is possibly the reason why we'll never be part of the South East Asian Bomb It 2 festival thing.
ah oh well... c'est la vie.

I can understand that you don't like them, but reacting this way I can't understand. I find it very harsh toward the artist (Mikael). Maybe he is young or just started doing this and we all have to start somewhere. Maybe he's in the art-scene for a long time and just doing what he loves/thinks is right.
I like them. I like the fact that you receive 2, one to keep and one to give away. It's not a complex image or high-end stencil, but to me the "message" behind the image (bombing with love) is powerfull.

Probably.
I visit Singapore quite often, and no its not nearly 100% CCTV'd it might be for someone who doesn't paint a lot of graff, I'd say its under 5% CCTVd so go out and leave a proper mark, paint some proper walls, and don't make it sound worse than it really is in an effort to sell some weak art with a bit of 'danger' PR.

CCTVs in Singapore are not googlable and more "sensitive" than most - and they are vital in keeping the city safe and happy - is all i want to say on the subject - (can we not talk about this bit anymore? sorry I brought it up)
And apologies if it looked like i'm trying to make Mikael more "dangerous" looking. I am a chicken s**t myself as I had near brushes in my younger days and didn't enjoy it - is all i want to say on that subject, so I was suitably impressed with Mikael's little art trip.
My point: Mikael's a good friend, and a talented artist. Quite clearly, though he likes street art, he is not a graffiti artist.
He paints canvases, loads of them. so much so that he gives them away very openly.
You don't have to like Mikael's work. Some really don't. But please don't let cynicism take over this thread. Let it be a discussion about the idea, the work.
Hideous or beautiful, Mikael is doing what he believes in, and it gives him a mad, focus spirit that makes them appealing to me and the guys at HF.

Remember im just 1 person giving an opinion on a forum, an artist is never going to please everyone with his art. Long term, im sure he will appreciate honest feedback, rather than being told from day1 that he is amazing by people that just want freebies.
