Mantis Print ๐ฌ๐ง Street Art โข Art For Sale, by scavos on Aug 31, 2007 22:24:05 GMT 1, Disagree strongly cashman. Of course the Evolution image has been around for years but he's changed it (obviously) with the last guy being stabbed in the back, which clearly says something, namely that the human evolution is starting to going backwards with our disregard to global warming (which is of our own doing) hence us causing our own demise. Plenty of prints being released that don't say anything, this is certainly not one of them. The simplest ideas are often the best.
Well said CBL. I'm sure you know my feelings on this one. The Evolution is a little gem of a print. Surely it's about as meaningful as it gets? The fact it isn't screaming at you "Woaaaah there human race - you're fucking doomed you useless bunch of feckers!!!" is why it works. The subtlety is key.

IMO the reason no ones touched it is because it dos'nt say nuffin, apart from he knows how to cut an image thats been around for years
The simplicty of the mesage above should not be understated.
Keeping things simple is an objective of most people.
The message was lost - however on you... it seems
I could be wrong you probably you have fine taste however M's
print underlined a few things(lacking) perhaps brought
into sharp focus over the past few months .. here in the uk.

C'mon folks don't kill the chance for a good debate or whatever you want to call it. This would be a fucking dull place if we all thought the same. Perish the thought!

Any idea what 'Foglie' means? It's a great word, should be adopted into the English language somehow.

It's in OZ, I think this may be the print he's doing with the italians as well, nothing to do with me. But Mantis is talented and it's nice to see some old fashion freehand with just a spray can.

Obviously not quite the same but I got drunk off Oxford st one night, and walking back to the tube found a wheelie office chair, which i pushed myself across Regent st on, backwards. When i hit the kerb I launched off the chair and landed on my pelvis.
A year later i went to the osteo and she told me my pelvis was out of whack and i'd been walking lopsided since i had that fall. So the back pain comes and goes but you forget about it.
Like I said, not trying to compare as I don't know what you've had done, but hopefully it made you laugh.
Take care Frankie. See you soon.
