Skins Collection, by Rourke on Apr 4, 2008 22:22:02 GMT 1, As a SHARP Skin I absolutely love this image - it's really strong and also true to the spirit of '69 I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of the series Rourke Stompin' series mate (no pun intended!)
:DCheers mate, get reet cracked on with new one tommorow, still workin on the stencil. want to try and get the stencil finished tommorow, so better get up early. Its not as brutal as this 1, but had to get the aggressive out first.
Thanks Jef, will pm you

Skins Collection, by kingleopald on Apr 5, 2008 22:51:15 GMT 1, Hey Rourke .. Origins of skinhead culture were much more linked to multi-racial Working Class unity. It was more about the music reggae, ska, northern soul being part of that culture or spring offs from it. All well and good but this is not the image of a multicultural skinhead and the union jack was never about a multicultural message either. This is the sort of cunt who stabbed my mate with a screwdriver because of the colour of his skin.

All well and good but this is not the image of a multicultural skinhead and the union jack was never about a multicultural message either. This is the sort of c**t who stabbed my mate with a screwdriver because of the colour of his skin. I'm truely sorry about your mate. When I did this image, I knew some people were bound to get a negative message from it, and I knew I couldnt help this. All I can say is that when I created this image it was never meant to be a pro-racist image in anyway. More a true life image. If something is wrong that goes on in society, doesnt mean artists can't paint about it, and bring it to peoples attention This image has no title at the moment, and this is intentional. The full series of images will show more on the culture aspect. Why isn't a Union Jack Multicultural? I put a union jack on this image as I do on others. Is this wrong? When I was at school in Bradford, twenty odd years ago. Racism was rife, nothing as changed its still rife, and that is wrong. My eldest son Zach, is mixed race, and has to deal with racism on a daily basis in his school, I am in no way racist of condone racisisim in any way as this is something myself and my family have to deal with. I am sorry if my image offended you.

Skins Collection, by kingleopald on Apr 6, 2008 14:41:57 GMT 1, Fair play VanDal. Cheers for your response.
Obviously an emotive topic for me. The whole skins thing scares me a bit because all the horrible negative shit that went with the movement in the 70's/80's is in danger of getting glossed over in the process. The extremist attitude wasn't the exception, it was the norm.
As for the use of the flag, I totally agree with you that the union jack can be used as an image of multiculture, but we are talking about different flags - then and now.... That's what I meant about the union jack in the context of this image. In the 70's/80's a skin with a UJ WAS a rascist statement.
I could have just written another 'great image' plaudit, but outside this forum of art heads that's an image that still has negative connotations that have affected people's lives . You're right, art is all about using strong images, but by not titling it, IMO you're in danger of risking glorifying what was basically a bunch of fucking thugs running round the streets spreading terror.
