DRUG VEND, by skylarkin on Oct 17, 2008 9:48:19 GMT 1, ditto what locus said, not looking forward to the day my 2 kids start askin questions. Cant see them asking questions as a problem personally, Id be quite happy to sit down and discuss this with my kids when there older. As for the Video, excellent idea, I even posted as a link earlier yesterday afternoon, think the video worked really well. If however the original idea was the print then you shouldnt have released the video as a sales pitch. Think the video works excellent as the art but the print looks like a kiss me quick hat. Sorry for the negative vibes man....

DRUG VEND, by baileymontana on Oct 17, 2008 10:51:26 GMT 1, I really like the video from Imbue. Have to agree the print leaves me a bit cold. The one thing that appeals to me about Banksy is that plenty of his street art is not available as prints (even back in the days this was the case). This means that you get the feeling his art is really for anyone who cares to take notice not just those with deep wallets.
I can understand that artists want to make a living and don't begrudge that but it really does seem that fewer artists are actually putting up street art without thinking about the print sale very soon after. This is not a personal attack against Imbue as he definitely has a lot of street presence in Brighton.
I think street artists have to accept this criticism. Many people are fans of Street Art because it is there to counteract the adverts we are bombarded with on the street day to day but Urban Art now seems to be becoming about advertising a print or show.
In my mind I see a definite divide between Street Art and Urban Art. With Street Art breaking boundaries with not everything always followed up with a print sale and Urban Art tied in directly with a print release or show.
