Art as Football, by Billy Sport on May 28, 2008 16:21:44 GMT 1, In purely jocular fashion after the big 4 thread earlier, I decided to do a "if the artist were a football team" , premiership only!!! 
all fun remember!!! ;D
Man utd - Banksy . class tells always.
Chelsea - Nick Walker always attractive, big money spent over the last few years
Arsenal - Neate beautiful, flowing, will challenge for title in a season or 2.
Liverpool - Faile can be sublime, or sometimes ordinary
Everton - Dface Not always attractive, wears down opponents
Aston Villa -Bast great in the past, great things expected
Blackburn - Denning. Tough, strong physical!!
Portsmouth - Blek. who says past their best?
Man City - Micallef. great start, fell away laterlly, great things to come?
West Ham - Insect - attractive style, belongs in top 10.
Tottenham - Miss Bugs - is this season the start of something big?
Newcastle - swoon - Big support, should be higher?
Middlesboro - Lister inconsistent, flashes of brilliance and ordinariess.
Wigan - Herakut building on good foundations.
sunderland - Hush More expectations which can be met..
Bolton - Choe you love em or not...
Fulham - Pure Evil Been around for ages, deserves place in top division
WBA - SPQR Great season, best equipped for top division
Stoke - Copyright what can we expect? will be fun finding out
Hull City - cartrain expected to struggle in top league?
IMHO, no offence meant to anyone...

What I will not have, however, is a load of ManU posters on my walls so offers invited.

Art as Football, by robinbanks on May 28, 2008 17:11:01 GMT 1, Surely Manure would be better represented by an American (piss) artist?
Not too keen on Swoon for the Toon, although it does have a nice ring to it.
Might Micallef have been better? Used to be everyone's second favourite, then starts loosing money by the day - hits rock bottom, before finally getting act together again.

Swoon and Micallef aren't Newcastle...
You need someone to fit the description: Ultra fickle fans with delusions of grandeur who will be there when the going is good but all disappear when times are hard
;D

Well I'm not fickle, I certainly don't have delusions of grandeur, and I while I might have been but a bairn when we were almost relegated to the third tier of English football I definitely wasn't about to disappear.
BUT... seeing as we're making sweeping generalisations; Man U shouldn't be an American artist at all - they should be an arrogant soft southern t**t with his head up his arse and a prawn sandwich in his hand.

Art as Football, by BrandlerGalleries on May 31, 2008 21:01:18 GMT 1, Pleaase excuse me if I breech any conventions this is my first post. I am saddened that anyone on this forum feels that they have the unique / ultimate decision as to what is art. Not just that but they want to judge what is GOOD Art. I think SPQR is original. Paint Bombers owes NOTHING to any previous artist. However I find that the person slating him off fully approves of Banksy. Why ? Because he is the most expensive? Banksy openly admits being inspired by Blek. Stencils have been used for SO long the Victorians & the Georgians used them for decorartion. Interior designers are constantly useing them - no-one considers them street artists. It is the combination of political comment and method that makes these guys so special. As someone who can't draw a straight line with a pencil & ruler I admire people that can create art. WHAT is ART - that goes back to 1913 debate with Duchamp's urinal. If ONE person considers it art - IT IS. [glow=red,2,300]So Enjoy it ![/glow]

If you had read the thread properly I think you will find, (as the first post says, "a jocular look") that this is tongue in cheek, and not some indepth art study.
By the way welcome to the forum, and would you be the Brandlergallery from ebay by any chance?

Totally agree. If anyone has a chance to see "under the shadows of Authority"by SPQR you will see a fantastic piece of work. Seeing there are only 5 canvases and other special pieces done for this image i feel it a shame that everyone cant see it. I hope this gets released by matt soon. I have a picture of it but have not got a clue how to put it on this thread....

Art as Football, by Billy Sport on Jun 1, 2008 1:20:32 GMT 1, no one slated SPQR, unless you're saying WBA arent original (arguable), and you show me where any artist has been maligned.
I dont like being lectured by someone who cant even read, I am saddened that someone who obviously likes to think they are intellectual, cannot be arsed to read a thread and get so wrong an end of a sh!tty stick that their hands stink.
try pressing the search button to search, typical rocket scientist, can work out the orbit and attitude of a spaceship but cant open a tin of beans
because you "missed" the part about being tongue in cheek I'll highlight it for you.
In purely jocular fashion after the big 4 thread earlier, I decided to do a "if the artist were a football team" , premiership only!!!

IMHO, no offence meant to anyone...
so not too many clues there sherlock....

Recently this board has been inundated with hype from both galleries and individuals with a personal financial agenda. As a gallery with a huge stock of SPQR stock some of which you have payed top prices for on the secondary market it should be no surprise that you rate the work highly. You do however have a vested interest.
