not anymore sorry, but if you go back in the threads to last may or june ( from memory) there was at least one if not more threads discussing it. Not sure if Mishco is still popping in now that he is overseas, but he might be able to narrow the search for you.

dude, you should have just added a banksy sticker to the auction, they wouldn't have delisted it then

I am going to make one final offer to the forum before i relist it.

If you want to make me an offer before 8pm this evening i will consider it, otherwise i will re-list it tonight through crappy ebay. Bearing in mind it was £460 with 70 watchers with 6 days to go..


PM ME

As they said on the other forum, why not just commission one? I did and its fucking massive for 750 quid.

yep, do that then and wait 6 months if they get back to you

;D

The offer will stand until 8pm tonight when i will accept an offer.

At the moment there is 1 offer which is good

cheers

Writing is on the wall

Graffiti NYC book signing with author Hugo Martinez, Freedom Press, Angel Alley, 84b Whitechapel High Street, London E1, 22 February, 7pm-9pm, free.
The first 100 visitors will receive a free can of spray paint labelled with “your rights as a graffiti artist”.


Pay attention to the squiggle on the seat opposite you on your commute home tonight. According to Hugo Martinez, who has been at the forefront of the modern graffiti movement since its birth in New York in the 70s, it may not be what it seems.

“Graffiti in the UK doesn’t exist,” affirms Martinez – TfL might have something to say about that, not to mention those artists who risk their lives tagging on the Underground. “There’s no unique styles, it’s empty, there’s no soul. They [the graffiti artists] haven’t got that ­obsession, the passion.”

If Martinez sounds incredibly superior, that’s because he is. He excuses himself at the end of our interview with a “thanks for dealing with the New York arrogant crap”.

But, if there’s one figure qualified to speak on modern graffiti, it’s him. In 1972, while studying in Manhattan, Martinez discovered Puerto Rican gang members spray-painting subway cars. By the following year he had organised the creative local vandals into a loose collective called the United Graffiti Artists.

He says: “What drew me to it was the fact that there were Puerto Rican kids mixing with Irish kids and Italian kids. I’d never seen a movement ­transcend an ethic group.”

Since then, Martinez, now in his 50s, has opened galleries in several New York ­boroughs, showcasing graffiti from local artists.

Impresario he may be, but Martinez is a million miles from his more entrepreneurial cousins in the traditional arts world. His Martinez Gallery isn’t strictly a gallery. Rather, it’s a project which sees him and a team of graffiti artists take over and decorate “nomadic venues” such as disused schools.

“The work I show always maintains a kind of criminality­, it always comes from that side of the cage. It is about appropriating private property. You don’t do that by getting the landlord’s ­permission, you do it by stealing,” explains Martinez.

But there’s nothing illegal about his book Graffiti NYC, which chronicles contemporary­ urban graffiti in its original habitat. He’s currently in London promoting it. If you’re a graffiti enthusiast, it’s a chance to meet a real expert of the genre.
