Is Banksy a collective of artists?, by WOOF on Mar 4, 2015 22:15:02 GMT 1, If you view Banksy simply as a stencil artist, then apparently. I won't even go into that. I don't want you two to fight. You're both in NYC, both your names start with a "D", and both of your avatars are yellow. That confuses me enough already. Having to take a side in a forum scrap would be just too much to handle
Lol no fighting here. I just thought it was funny. Of course I don't think banksy is "just a stencil artist" even though his stencils are the reason he is known.
Still, personally, my list of 5 most fascinating people probably wouldn't include any aritsts. Far too many other options that have nothing to do with art.

He wouldn't last long in revealing everything..

That is a close to a hero as you can get for me.

I've met 2 out of my 4 heroes. They were both super nice. sadly, never got to meet Lou Reed (though I met his wife), and still waiting for Bansky to invite me over for some tea
met Yoko Ono once, but she's not a hero, though I respect her more than her wife-beating husband

Is Banksy a collective of artists?, by Lroy on Mar 4, 2015 23:52:30 GMT 1, Why do you call artists heroes ?
Rather, you are fans.
It s hard to think ( without any comparison) that Rimbaud , Rembrandt, Van Gogh or Soutine could be heroes.
But poet or painters, for these.
Maybe you are considering that they are revolutionaries, strategic genius or Marvel ' s drawings and that they saved ( or could save the world ) ?
Money and fame does not make heroes, it's antinomic .
I think that the invisibility and the hidden characters contribute to make Banksy, an heroe.
We are only good fans and admiratives of his art and jokes. Clever guy indeed ? :-)

Is Banksy a collective of artists?, by Deleted on Mar 5, 2015 0:00:14 GMT 1, That's what I thought, but then I thought the man is a genius and one of the best in what he does. The opinion I have of him is based upon his moronic outbursts at the grammy's, him marrying that bimbo and the way he presents himself in the media as somekind of second coming of Jesus. He's an ass and he will never make my top 10, but if he makes someone elses I'm not mad..
I also find it a little strange how much people hate on Kanye for his personality (or any great artist, for that matter). Pretty much all he does is say really sharp and pointed things, or screams crazy thoughts. He has never committed any serious crimes like other rappers who have literally shot people, and honestly doesn't seem like a bad person at all. No assault charges (except a dumb paparazzi thing), etc.
He's really sensitive and narcissistic, but I'd argue the narcissism is merited at this point (and therefore maybe always has been).

"brilliant madman" was madonna's description. everyone hates on him for his personal life, yet I can't remember the last time anyone trash-talking his actual work product (particularly his musical artistry). the body of work he has created is absolutely incredible.

For the most part, they are visionaries and pioneers who are responsible for change on a global scale while taking almost nothing from the world in return.

The other two (Musk, Warren) were a scientist and politician. QT is the lowest on the list by far, due to lack of influence outside of art - he's pretty much there b/c he consistently makes everyone happy.

ordinary people are my heros.
Talented people, musicians, writers, artists, actors entertainers are OK I guess but never look up to them. Their egos are big enough allready and all the ones I met came across as paranoid.
Maybe it was me?

The gimp was in disguise. I haven't seen anyone dressed as a gimp doing stencils on walls down here.
It's interesting that tarantino dialogue in his films comes across as artistic and appropriate.
I personally don't find insults as racism.
Insults are just that an racism is how one actually treats another person.
If Banksy likes to be anonymous it's his choice and his real friends won't reveal who he is.

Is Banksy a collective of artists?, by naughtyshorty on Mar 5, 2015 7:59:53 GMT 1, Interesting thread. My thoughts are
1. He's one man with people he relies on regularly and a v small inner circle
2. Emily r is v fit until u see her in gone girl. Then she is just a pretty, but slightly odd looking woman with an amazing figure
3. Jesusjones is fine using that quote. It's a film quote for fricks sake used in context. Let's stop getting precious of stuff and making issues over nothing.
4. Yeezy is the biggest douche going. Great producer, but probably no better or worse than pharrell.
Carry on

jesus walks, gold digger, stronger, power, all of the lights, can't tell me nothing, monster, nggas in paris, we don't care, all falls down, flashing lights, touch the sky
that's just off the top of my head. then you actually get into the albums, like Dark Fantasy (maybe the best album - not rap album - of the past five years).
