What does it take to be an artist?, by spiiiiiike on Sept 26, 2009 11:09:16 GMT 1, Seems it's the Banksy Forum, here goes...all you need to be an artist is a printer, a blade, some spray, a pre - made canvas and then someone with ยฃ35 to pay for the final result.
Thats it really.

Street art movement over?, by spiiiiiike on Jul 18, 2009 11:15:44 GMT 1, I agree, stencil type designs are getting very very tired now. There's not enough versatility in stencil art, simply because it's so easy to do. Banksy's technique is easy as pie to imitate.
The real creative talent will always come through and have longevity I believe.

Street art movement over?, by spiiiiiike on Jul 18, 2009 9:06:45 GMT 1, I certainly would not say the scene is over. Far from it. Of course the recession has had an impact on sales. The big galleries and flippers did a lot of damage, hyping things up. The prices in the end became totally unrealistic and bonkers. You talk to most people, even ones in the know, outside of the urban scene and you can guarantee that they have never heard of Adam Neate. Yet his work goes for the price of an artist that has been successful and established from say the 70's or 80's! Crazy. The urban scene isn't that much different from the fine art world in it's structure though, however the former has definitely been on dirty steroids - i.e. it got much bigger faster!! ;D
As for art on the street - lets be honest, all the big names don't really do anything anymore! On the other hand there's a whole new lot of unexpected people putting great stuff up. Well, where I live anyway. Things change. Things grow.

Upfest โข Street Art Graffiti Festival , by spiiiiiike on Jun 8, 2009 11:33:45 GMT 1, Had a great day! Thanks to all the organisers, djs and artists, hope it made lots for the charity. Some amazing artwork in all different styles. Personally the wall with the Denning, Baker, Grimshaw and Doc pieces probably blew it away for me. Some great spraycan stuff down by the 'Try Again' pub too, especially Jody's piece. Brilliant day!!!!!

Byroglyphics 'Domestic Science' at Signal, by spiiiiiike on May 22, 2009 21:14:51 GMT 1, I really don't want to get into an argument over this because it doesn't bother me in the slightest as I was not purchasing work (this time). As I said in my previous post the works and sales of said works speak volumes. Maybe the phrasing was misleading, maybe myself and other members of the forum cannot read English, all I know is that there was deifinitely mention of hand finishing in the original buyers preview list. Let's leave it at that and just enjoy Russ' great work. peace
I got a preview link for Russ Mills new work on Mon or Tue and it said 'Hand-varnished Ultrachrome digital images on canvas (unique 1/1)'.
