Lady Aiko ๐ฏ๐ต Aiko Nakagawa โข New York Street Art, by mike hunt on Nov 2, 2007 21:07:44 GMT 1, Aiko's split from faile reminds me of when Michael Owen left Liverpool and then they won the champions league. Worse still, he was on tv being asked what he thought, and looked absolutely gutted!
ps The Smiths split up; but that doesn't mean that Marr and Morrisey weren't both talented musicians What about Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce...... No idea why Aiko split but it seems an odd thing to do with the world starting to open up to what you've been doing for all these years. Faile were cheap as chops last year, large canvasses could be bought from Laz for ยฃ1,500 and the editions of 10 hand finished prints went for about ยฃ75 including shipping from the US of A. People were even throwing out Faile stuff, anyone remember the piece of machinery from POW with a large pink Faile tag on it that had been left at the back of POW towers? Good luck to her.

What do you do? What would you like to do?, by mike hunt on Nov 1, 2007 19:06:35 GMT 1, I'm an engineer. Been in the aerospace industry since I was 16. No freedom or lateral thinking in my enviroment, it's all equations and rules. It keeps the kids in clothes and me in prints, that's about it. If I had my chance again I would have pursued a career in rugby coaching or sport's therapy, anything to have more people contact and to be more involved with sport.
By the way, if the apocalypse ever happened, you'd be ok but I'd be screwed. I mean, what practical skills do I have? I'm better off running towards the bomb or going round to your place where you would have already begun to build a new world from scratch.
Re: the new banksy - I too noted his kippa! His real name is not Robby Banks - its Rabbi Bankskenbergski.

What do you do? What would you like to do?, by mike hunt on Nov 1, 2007 19:01:37 GMT 1, Creative stuff is all I could ever do - I never wanted to do anything else so never tried. I'm a designer and I love what I do, but I would like to have enough time to do some canvases. I get to do a bit of commissioned illustration work, but not as much as I'd like. Design (and advertising) is an artform to me, but I would like to be able to do work with less commercial pressure - less compromise. And I'd love to have the time to be able to make some phat, funky tracks!

Onsales/True Fans, by mike hunt on Oct 31, 2007 18:16:25 GMT 1, I hate all this real fan stuff. Art & design is my whole life - there's never been anything else I wanted to do. This does not qualify me to enjoy a print more than someone who knows less about its significance. If someone likes a piece but doesn't know anything about the artist or cultural significance, then so what? They have the right to appreciate, and may enjoy it more than 'knowledgeable' people. If someone invested in an artist in the early days and makes a load of money from it, then good for them. Nice post. I agree. I think everyone on here agrees the endless flipper debate is boring. Buy, sell, swap but above all enjoy your art. On a seperate note I really hope that new posters don't feel intimidated on here as there are a great bunch of helpful guys and gals on here. Maybe we could all be a bit more patient with a new forum member when they join?
Yes - please be patient with us. It takes a while to get the gist of any group, and if people are impatient with forum virgins, then others will stay quiet.

Onsales/True Fans, by mike hunt on Oct 31, 2007 18:04:38 GMT 1, That sounds really interesting - many thanks for the tip - I'll have a look for it.
If you are interested on why you can really hurt your favorite artists by flipping their work (originals especially) you should read Collecting Contemporary by Adam Lindemann. Heck, anyone who is really into collecting and any art scene should read this. I coulnt put it down. It was a great summary of what an art education and collection should be.

Onsales/True Fans, by mike hunt on Oct 31, 2007 17:54:09 GMT 1, Stuey09 - well said. I think its fair to call those that turn it around that quickly as flippers - its thoroughly cynical and annoying. It doesn't help the scene or artists long term. Anything outside of that - who are we to judge? I will need to sell a piece soon in order to buy another piece. Its difficult because of the emotional attachment, but if I understand correctly, a flipper is someone who has no intention of enjoying the piece and is driven purely by short term cash, with no emotional attachment or appreciation.

Onsales/True Fans, by mike hunt on Oct 31, 2007 17:43:07 GMT 1, Does thinking of your prints as a long term investment make it any better? This is not straightforward and impossible to measure. Fans sell stuff too (in order to buy other stuff usually). If you weren't thinking about resale price, then it would be much cheaper and easier to buy or create a worthless reproduction.

1ST Adam Neate piece in Sothebys, by mike hunt on Oct 31, 2007 18:08:44 GMT 1, Agreed. Neate is so different again. This scene just keeps on coming up with surprises. The variation is great - they're all so different from eachother.
This piece is wicked. Artistically I feel Neate is on the same level as Micallef and Faile. It's an exciting time to see all the artists we feel so passionately about get the recognition they deserve.

buying your own products at auction - sunday times, by mike hunt on Oct 30, 2007 17:34:13 GMT 1, I'm all for running something like a business but when pr is so big, regular and well executed (high prices being a part of that), it is obvious that it is an extremely shrewdly run business. Ironic, considering the subject matter of streetart is so often anti-big business.
No-one is suggesting illegal practices are going on, but we all know none of these press articles report themselves. To build a product to this extent takes a fair amount of investment (even more so if you aren't in with the 'real' art world). Being seen to invest heavily in marketing would be considered unfavourably by many fans, so it needs to be done in a way that it seems unconnected. Speculation about unconventional marketing practices will continue until this scene becomes part of the establishment, or disappears up its own drainpipe!

paul kenton, by mike hunt on Oct 29, 2007 11:45:58 GMT 1, I think sometimes people like bad art. Art that doesn't upset the apple cart. I call it granny art, or chocolate box art. It doesn't say anything and just looks 'pretty' (and thats debateable as well!). I think in this case, it annoyed me because its something I've seen done so many times before. I think there's no bigger insult for art than to be bland. This is a strange thread isn't it?! I just wanted to restore my faith in humankind by not feeling like I was the only one to dislike this work. Sorry to bring such utter rot to the forum!!

paul kenton, by mike hunt on Oct 29, 2007 11:29:05 GMT 1, Please help clear this up. I do not like this artist (paul kenton) at all. I find him bland, boring and cliched. I have to admit, he is technically good (mark making, way he applies the paint etc) but I just despise this kind of art. My girlfriend and another person I know absolutely love his work, but it represents everything I despise in art. Please can have your opinions so I know I'm either not mad or just wrong?!

Right Brain vs Left, by mike hunt on Oct 25, 2007 22:53:03 GMT 1, magic eye prints would give me the same reaction. After the help you guys gave me, I can see different directions but not at once (even looking at the hips, ass, baps etc). To change direction, I need to re-boot my brain and start from the feet again (with lots of concentration). Without that hint, I wouldn't have been able to flip her at all. I think the deal is that because she's a silhouette, your mind can fill in the details to decide which way she turns. If you can get her to change direction mid flow, then i congratulate you for having an elastic mind/eye coordination.

Right Brain vs Left, by mike hunt on Oct 25, 2007 22:42:03 GMT 1, It reminds of those '3d' pictures from the 90s that i could never see. As far as I'm concerned, it was like one big joke. Maybe no-one could see them? Of course, this is an optical illusion, but it must say something about how our brains tell our eyes to see. Once you realise it can turn either way whenever you like, perception crumbles and a hole opens up in space-time continuem and I think i'd better go to bed.

Right Brain vs Left, by mike hunt on Oct 25, 2007 22:35:33 GMT 1, that is freaky... It took 10 minutes to flip that ho - and then i couldn't flip her back! Then my girlfriend got involved (as close as i've come to a threesome) and insisted it was clockwise. When i explained it was in her head, she got confused and then angry. This is mind bending shizit!

Right Brain vs Left, by mike hunt on Oct 25, 2007 21:42:50 GMT 1, The worse bit is, the left side of the brain description sounds nothing like me. I am terrible at maths & science etc. My reality based, logical factual brain must be like scrambled eggs. Half of my brain is playing tricks on me...if I could only work out which side.

ART AND DISINFORMATION, by mike hunt on Oct 18, 2007 16:58:56 GMT 1, I think comedy can be art (and art can be cheap comedy). English comedy can sometimes be cutting edge and push boundaries (league of gentlemen - remember the impact?).
The question (in my opinion) isn't whether its art, but whether its good art. Signing a cheque means expressing yourself (in a small way) through your signature. At the opposite end of the scale, artists need to make money, so there will probably be some compromise. The question is, how much compromise and is it successful? In the case of artcritics post, me thinks no.

"borrowed" image : cool conclusion (scroll down), by mike hunt on Nov 29, 2007 18:21:46 GMT 1, Right then, i wished i could have been with him, stencilling together both our crouched kids on the streets of his city...
You might get a big surprise if you get caught though. Me thinks there would be some kind of special punishment for a westerner as well.

Its only when you remove yourself from the influences (by going somewhere far away with a completely alien culture) that you realise how much artists and designers are influenced by the culture around us.

"borrowed" image : cool conclusion (scroll down), by mike hunt on Oct 17, 2007 14:36:37 GMT 1, Jeff - I think you are being honest. If I had worked hard on a design only to see someone copy it so that most the details were identical, I would also feel a mixture of shock, anger and flattery. Its annoying when you've built a name up over years, but on the other hand, even with the copying, this person isn't nearly as accomplished as you (when you compare how the pieces have been executed).I think having a quick chat or just forgetting about it is the best way. Your post cannot be compared to dfaces comments because you've been more open and honest. Anyone who thinks their reaction would be different is fooling themselves (or has never had their artwork copied!)

Mear One ๐บ๐ธ Street Art โข New Print Release , by mike hunt on Oct 11, 2007 13:25:41 GMT 1, that print is absolute class. Love the variety of marks - very expressive and executed expertly. I think this is the best piece by Mear one to date. I agree about the amount of over-rated, lazy 'street-art' out there. Also, a lot of the respected artists churn out the same stuff for years without any sign of development.

Mid Life Crisis, by mike hunt on Nov 1, 2007 20:26:58 GMT 1, haha - all this talk of diamond backs and involuntary snot release takes me right back! We used to lay on our skateboards and go down the biggest hill in richmond park at night. That is, until my friend went headfirst into one of the small wooden posts that line the sides of the road. He still has a Gorbachev type scar to this day.

Mid Life Crisis, by mike hunt on Nov 1, 2007 19:45:20 GMT 1, Ironically, this post made me laugh so hard out loud that I accidentally released snot in front of my partner. She wasn't impressed and it didn't dry in the wind.
I used to have a DP Freestyler with Skyways, Shimanos and Mushroom grips. Ah to be able to wheelie from one length of the forum in Nth Hykeham to the other again. Diamond Backs were all the rage back then too. I think they still make them. We used to head off down to rival territory at the bmx track on the Birchwood in Lincoln. We stopped going after two of us, my mate Gez and I got into a spot of bother when a stray dog pushed him off his bike and, as he laid on the floor struggling to get back up, the amorous dog proceeded to shag Gez's legs like they'd never been shagged before, until it jizzed all over his new stay pressed black Farahs . I fell onto the floor in absolute hysterics and laughed so hard some wee came out on my beige cords. We eventually gathered ourselves and sloped off back to the safety of home turf. I could hardly see for tears of laughter at the expense of Gez who was so mortified. The wee soon dried in the wind. ;D Of course I still remind him of our little jaunt whenever I go back to Lincoln and I'm sure he'd be so pleased to know that a possible 4000 forum members could be reading about his misfortune. ;D ;D ;D Good luck with the search TF and have a great 40th. Another mate of mine treated himself on his 35th to an original Raleigh Chopper in a similar bout of Mid Life Crisis. Whatever you do, take my advice: stay away from the bmx track in Birchwood.

I could hardly see for tears of laughter at the expense of Gez who was so mortified. The wee soon dried in the wind. ;D Of course I still remind him of our little jaunt whenever I go back to Lincoln and I'm sure he'd be so pleased to know that a possible 4000 forum members could be reading about his misfortune. ;D ;D ;D Good luck with the search TF and have a great 40th. Another mate of mine treated himself on his 35th to an original Raleigh Chopper in a similar bout of Mid Life Crisis. Whatever you do, take my advice: stay away from the bmx track in Birchwood.

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by mike hunt on Mar 4, 2008 23:20:24 GMT 1, Bonhams are fairly reasonable compared to Sotheby's etc. Also, if you look at some Galleries, their prices are considerably more than auction houses sometimes. Auction houses are a completely different animal to ebay.
