What London's Student Protests Mean For the Future, by geoffw on Dec 10, 2010 15:34:09 GMT 1, Nick Clegg hasn't got egg on his face - more like a battery farm. Issue is though - how should university education be funded when the national debt is ยฃ1,000,000,000,000.00 (ish?).
How about we scrap Trident...Nuclear subs offer no deterrent and are an old way of fighting wars. There's quite a billion saved in one go

VNA x LACOSTE Print show & win an Eelus print., by geoffw on Dec 7, 2010 12:19:44 GMT 1, Well when Stussy has its own store with enough space to house artwork I'm sure G can sort something out. We've tried various places before and they tend to not be bothered about it, whereas Lacoste and indeed 55DSL before (VNA 12 launch party) actually wanted this show and put their hands in their pockets to make it happen and look good - those metallic mounts the prints are on were bought in just for the show.
At least they're happy to support an independent mag and the artists unlike some of these "cooler" brands who will happily take the cache of street art to shift their products but give nothing back.

"Never Judge...?" StolenSpace - 3rd Dec , by geoffw on Dec 2, 2010 16:50:07 GMT 1, what did you get GeoffW and Stopki? There were some great pieces on the preview - I limited myself to one of the Hecox prints. I'm not a d*face fan but i think the bits in this show are the best work i've seen of his.
I grabbed the Buff Monster, Usugrow and Nozaka pieces... I like their art generally and wanted OGs by all of them, plus in the case of Usu and Nozaka I love the books they based their work on.
Win-win.

Dave White - Cheeseburger Print, by geoffw on Dec 1, 2010 11:09:18 GMT 1, 450 for a giclee?! Or is it a silkcreen....Zero seems a tad confused about the process. If it's screened fine then don't call it a giclee. If it's a giclee with some screening done the price is still insance.

VNA issue 13 - EINE, ESPO, Tilt, Elbow-Toe etc, by geoffw on Oct 21, 2010 12:19:15 GMT 1, You're old fashioned
George made the right call on this one...sure it's not good to miss out (i've never got anything from a POW lottery for example) but it does seem a littler fairer than assumign everyone who wants a copy will be in front of a computer as a given time.
Also, after some site crash issues it's a lot easier to do the lottery and not end up with hundreds of frustrated people who couldn't even get the opportunity to purchase. With a lottery you're at least in with a chance from the off.

Nick Walker "La Corancan" Print Release, by geoffw on Oct 15, 2010 13:41:17 GMT 1, The only way it would work would be if it didn't exist, ever... Utter drivel that adds yet more evidence, if any more was needed, that NW has had but 1 good idea, TMA. Even the dull, deadly dull vandal was crap.... Milk TMA, NW, there are thousands of cities that you can add drips of paint on.... How is this good fun Silky...it is offensive to millions (if you are of that religious persuasion), stupid, dull and unimaginative to the rest....if this is your idea of fun, answers on a postcard please......
I don't think you know the context of the image then. It was painted on the street in Paris. The capital city of a country that has banned burkhas...so he's mixed that idea with a famous Parisian image and create what you see.
IMO it's slightly clumsy in its execution and worked only in it's original placement and not as a print. But offensive to millions? If you're referring to Muslim's i'd suggest the only drivel on here is coming from you. The French court decision was the act that was offensive, dull and stupid. This is just poorly executed art.

Kaws Pinocchio & Jiminy , by geoffw on Aug 25, 2010 13:41:22 GMT 1, I wouldn't get too worked up....this is a Disney Medicom collab with KAWS involved. They'll be plenty of them made as Diensyland HK has asked to stock them as well (whether they do or not is TBC).
It's not like the Stormtrooper or Vader that were Japan only releases. These will be global releases in time.

Shepard Fairey 'Mr Spray' Toy, by geoffw on Jul 9, 2010 9:46:43 GMT 1, Truly one of the worst things i've seen. Unoriginal, adds pointless "sneakers" to a old advertising icon style toy - just doesn't hold together in any way.
And it's made by StrangeCo so quality will be average.

The Foundry - Banksy work to be preserved, by geoffw on Jul 1, 2010 15:32:59 GMT 1, I've never understood the concept of empty buildings, whilst people are homeless. If they donโt own the building, they should have no right to be there. Regardless if it empty or not. If asked to move on, they should move on immediately. And maybe pop into the job centre while they are at it.
Oh excellent stereotyping there Mr Cameron.
Where are all these jobs exactly?

Overall i'm pretty underwhelmed.

Next Obey Print - Neil Young, by geoffw on Jun 16, 2010 13:25:30 GMT 1, I think it all depends on the source photo and what he actually does with it. In the Strummer case is produced a lovely piece, in this case it looks pretty horrific
