Macworld Expo, by BK83 on Jan 15, 2008 20:06:44 GMT 1, and the harddrive has gone, the 2grand one uses 64gb SSD so no harddrive
I dont think the Macbook Air is meant to have a harddrive? That's the point. it's SSD only.

Macworld Expo, by BK83 on Jan 15, 2008 16:19:41 GMT 1, Macworld Expo going on. Keynote speech by Jobs set for 9am PST which is 5pm London time. Should be interesting. There's talk of a new lightweight macbook called macbook air which apparently will run on flash memory as opposed to standard harddrive spinning memory... light and airy! Who knows if its true though?!
Im fuckin excited.

It might not be to everyone's taste and yes its raw around the edges but hey its street art.
The more I think about it, you're right. I think I have been a bit harsh given his age. I am retiring from this thread. I don't like when I get like this.
Big ups to all for quality thread. finally some disagreement that did not get vicious. albeit a little witty and biting.

Cartrain ๐ฌ๐ง Tate Gallery โข Damien Hirst โข Gilbert & George, by BK83 on Jan 15, 2008 18:16:01 GMT 1, ;D Here ya go Dave an Buffin - Photo taken by Cartrain I wanted a typical piece from Cartrain, and I felt his Bush Bombs were such a well known image to be seen around London ;D Well pleased with them.
Whilst I respect your generosity and eagerness to help aspiring artists, Silky (it has and always will be a nice attribute to the forums and your character) I find this work unoriginal and entirely poorly executed. Look at his tag/name stencil. what is going on there? and, does George Bush have a cold sore? what is that dripping from his lip on the right side in the stencil? Surely someone with an eye for detail would know to cut remove that from the stencil. That's the problem. he is just a copier he has no artistic vision.

Cartrain ๐ฌ๐ง Tate Gallery โข Damien Hirst โข Gilbert & George, by BK83 on Jan 15, 2008 18:10:55 GMT 1, Yep! We are talking about him and thats all that matters. If you looked at 100% of the things that get written about Banksy, Im sure a good chunk of them would be saying he's a vandal, and should be arrested Cartrain is making a name for himself and good on him! ;D If I made crap art and put it all over the place, people would be talking about me as well. I could fart loudly in the tube every day during rush hour. No doubt this would also get people talking. Is that really "all that matters" to you?
+1 Kiki, that's what I've been trying to get across, but you've done it in a much better way!

I remember a post a while back from Jeff Aerosol who had one of his sitting boy images slightly changed by an artist abroad. Jeff embraced the guy's love of stenciling & even went to lengths of giving him tip's too. that'sa big part of what it's all about in my book - not just the next big print release !
Don't make me laugh! are you also writing the next Hugh Grant movie, what a sappy load of shit.

Silky, Cartrain is by no means making a name for himself. his shoddy, poorly executed work and boring stencil ideas are going nowhere... and fast! He will be forgotten and gone by the wayside in no time.

"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about" Oscar Wilde
As I mentioned previously, the problem here is that he is getting talked about for all the wrong reasons - There's no way that can be construed as good. Unless of course you are also Britney Spears' publicist.

Cartrain ๐ฌ๐ง Tate Gallery โข Damien Hirst โข Gilbert & George, by BK83 on Jan 14, 2008 22:04:36 GMT 1, I dont agree, Silky.
I do plenty of work on the streets, but unlike cartrain (and many other fame hungry "artists") I choose not to sign my name and also find my own unique spots to do my artwork. For me, my street work is about the art and the message, not about me. Furthermore, my most inspired moments as a working street artist have been finding my own spots for my work and seeing other artists put their work around mine. In fact, recently I put up a stencil in Brooklyn and because I dont sign them, Borf came along and tagged his name underneath the stencil! made me laugh when I saw it.
My point here is this: "Artwork [Anything] that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You donโt go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit.โ - Banksy
my two cents.

Not at all Simococo! But I think what should be addressed is his blatant piggybacking. There's no doubt he's getting attention, which Im sure was his goal here, but somehow I dont think it's the right attention....
I know I'd rather be recognised for my own talents, rather than as the guy who tags next to banksy.

How true that is! I noticed that amatuer cartrain totally fucking ruined the banksy mortar rats by placing some retardedly poorly executed stencil next to it. There's an element of tact and respect to graffiti art that Cartrain is too young to understand. he wants all the fame but none of the hardwork.... It's bullshit.

OBEY, by BK83 on Jan 14, 2008 4:56:29 GMT 1, Yeah, it's almost worth spending $1-200 extra on ebay and not wasting 5 hours of your life. But I guess a great deal if you can somehow get a print quickly. It's harder than getting a Banksy imo.
I dont understand how this is the case. did everyone read the link Gozgoz posted in the copyrighted imagery thread...? I mean.....
