Ha! I just got that. I didn't realize I named 2 of the 4 turtles. Speaking of turtles, has anyone seen the new trailer?

Why isn't "urban art" more popular in the US?, by nrgball on Apr 5, 2014 5:25:18 GMT 1, I understand but as i stated my cousin owns an art school and is a fine artist himself so not a lawyer. I think what we are saying is that while street art is gaining popularity its still unknown to most people, unless your really into, like yourself a creative industry, most people still don't know who these artists are. I work in the theatre industry in london and i can tell you, if you asked most people about street art only banksy might get mentioned if your lucky. Would be fun to organise a wide survey to see actually how much the adverse joe knows about street art... infact lets do it........ I think we're saying the same thing. I hang around mostly creative people. Everyone knows who Banksy is. Shepard Fairey is probably even more well known. In the general population, a lot of people have at least heard of Obey. And pretty much everyone is aware of "that guy who made the Obama poster." The general population doesn't have a clue beyond Obey and Banksy. But I get the feeling that even in England, most people only know Banksy because he's a British celebrity of sorts. I don't get the feeling that street art is a huge part of the general culture there, but I could be wrong. That said, isn't part of what we like about street art is that not everyone knows about it or cares? I'd feel at least 7% uncooler if I walk into a bar and someone else is wearing the same Scuba Horse shirt.
Obey clothing is all over the country(US). Skaters, hop hop and hipsters are rocking it every where. Shep knows exactly what he is doing. His voice and Mr.B. Are leading the charge. Slowly but surely folks are becoming hip to urban art.

Why isn't "urban art" more popular in the US?, by Jeezuz Jones Snr on Apr 5, 2014 9:50:27 GMT 1, I reckon a copycat anonymous Christian banksy could make a killing selling limited prints in the US, they got some crazy religious types over there. On EB they like their gig posters also and luminous prints.

Why isn't "urban art" more popular in the US?, by Deleted on Apr 5, 2014 10:47:33 GMT 1, Being lucky enough to live in Bristol I can't think of anyone who doesn't know Banksy.
Move onto Walker, Jago, Council, Inkie, SPQR etc. People have seen their paintings, but have no idea who they are. All get reported as a new Banksy anyway. For example search 'Banksy spaceman' and you'll get an SPQR that is fantastic.
There is so much street art in Bristol, it's hard to take it all in.
Outside of Bristol why would the street art of SPQR etc be loved and the artists talked about ?. On the internet sure, but thats only for nerds like us. Most people live in their own bubble and if there town doesn't have loads of street art to discuss (usually as its controversial) your just not going to create the kind of buzz we have here. The US is a huge place with and to lump it together and say its not popular, would be incorrect. Promoting/painting is so much easier in one place. Try being popular in 50 states.

Here is an interesting article.
Street art is popular but certain peoples version of street art not so popular in some parts of town.
"Paris Chanel "fuck OBEYโฆโฆ.. and banksy too, while we at it"
"observe all the โstreet credโ him and banksy get as they get as they go home to sleep in the comfy โburbs and lofts after all their exaltation for shit that gets the real innovators of that art form criminalized? banking on other peoples struggles and genius is what they are famous for.
think about how 2 uppity white boys are the faces of street artโฆan art form started by POC who are still marginalized and criminalized for it.
what they are cheered on for is simply poverty tourism (coz for their types, visiting poor urban areas is what gives them cred, as if we dont fucking live there all the time), straight out plagiarism of artists of colors revolutionary images in addition to the appropriation of street art"

I know it makes no sense to anyone or me. But I had to say it LOL.

No one knows who Von Dutch is either and they wear his clothing too.
Fairey is clever in that he just stuck a brand name or logo on ripped off images.

Why isn't "urban art" more popular in the US?, by graffuturism on Apr 6, 2014 12:26:35 GMT 1, I dont think its been mentioned but why is Urban art not as popular I would disagree and say if you include graffiti and fringe urban artists It is fairly popular compared to contemporary artists. Ask a Gen Xer to Name 5 contemporary artists in general and most would be able to name 5 urban artists easier. Just my guess. Yet the artists you mention in the post are street artists mainly and I would argue street art is not as popular in the US if you dont incorporate graffiti artists and fringe Urban artists like David Choe, Neckface, and most Juxtapoz artists. Juxtapoz really influences how popular artists are in America I would say to some extent, and if you look at it compared to who everyone collects in Europe there is a big difference in coverage. Look at it and compare VNA or another mag its very different.
This is why this forum is in invualable for me being from the states because I had no clue to about 50% of the artists the forum would talk about or collect it was all new to me, now I think I have a better grasp but most artists mentioned in this forum besides i handful arent covered much in the states. Street art really doesnt get that much coverage in the states besides NY. Graffiti artists and the Graffiti artists that are all clicked up together get the majority of the coverage in the states yet not much coverage overseas. So Maybe US is a more graffiti oriented Urban art center vs a Street art one. For example artists like Saber, Revok, Dave Choe, Obey, Mike Giant, Futura, Doze Green, Neckface, Kaws, Barry Mcgee, Stephen Powers, Pose, Dabs Myla, Etc Etc get most of the attention from Juztapoz and US art sites compared to coverage from Overseas artists. It almost looks like a old roll call from the early 2000's but its artists like those that all come from a more graffiti background still hold alot of weight over here and continue to with the Generation X and Gen Y. All young creatives could name 5 of those artists yet couldnt name 5 contemporary artists I am guessing. The Juxtapox effect maybe in the US. Also might have something to do with the former editor having deep connections to that genre as well with Upperplayground.

Why isn't "urban art" more popular in the US?, by Deleted on Apr 6, 2014 14:02:24 GMT 1, Who on earth is still wearing Von Dutch? It used to be old hot rod types with dirty jeans and smelling of motor oรฏl.
Then Von Dutch estate sold the rights to some clothing group and people got put off when filthy fashionistas began wearing the label.
"From The Art of Design (pub. Tornado Design, 2006), โIn 1958, 14-year old Eddie Moberg brought a brand new sweatshirt to Dutch for custom airbrushing. The next day he wore it to school, blew studentsโ minds, and then packed it away in a drawer.โ Moberg remembers paying โseven or eight bucksโ for the work, and that Von Dutch was busy playing with a Thompson submachine gun when he arrived to pick up this treasure."
According to Von Dutch, he started drawing flying eyeballs at the age of 18.[3] His sister Virginia Howard Reyes were there the first time he drew it, and can confirm that Von Dutch drew it in 1948.[2] - See more at: popatunes.blogspot.fr/2011_02_01_archive.html#sthash.f8nRar4s.dpuf

Why isn't "urban art" more popular in the US?, by daveart on Apr 7, 2014 14:49:49 GMT 1, if you took a map of the USA - folded it in half side to side and top to bottom and then looked at where those two lines intersect... well, that's pretty close to where I am sitting. You couldnt get much more remote from East Coast Influence, West Coast influence, World influence, etc, etc. You pretty much have to go looking for what you are interested in on the internet. not that i live in a cave or something.. but no major artists are going to pop up a show anywhere near here any time soon.
so, i see kids wearing Obey TShirts. I'll periodically just ask ' Hey, are you a Shepard Fairey fan ? ' .. "What ? who's that. dont know him" "Oh, well, you are wearing one of his Tshirts..... forget it.."
On the other side of things.. Anyone with any artistic angle in their life at all saw ETTGS .. and followed BOTI online, etc..
I would say people who are into art for whatever reason have probably come across the urban / graffiti genre on some level - even around here. but for the most part most people here think graffiti is some drunk kid spray painting a p***s on an over pass bridge wall ... it isnt really an art form so to speak.
We actually have a very active art community here overall .. one of the bigger sculpture gardens in the USA , one of the largest art festivals in the USA ..etc. just none of it featuring more current wave of art.

Which Americans know all about.
