Does anyone know..., by funster on Feb 26, 2008 16:59:13 GMT 1, ...an artist that uses the initials 'M N'? I've jus grabbed a piece on the street by the corner of commercial st/Shorditch High st which is a painting of a ugly woman in similar colours that Adam Neate uses. Its painted on an a royal mail sack with 'fragile' tape all around the edges. I will be grateful for any help you guys can give. I cant post pics at the minuite tho will when I can.
You'd better hope that its not a portrait of his mother or wife or he'll find ya

Does anyone know..., by funyoung on Feb 26, 2008 16:59:16 GMT 1, thanks for the insight. 1. yes i read your description but don't know what a 'billb-o-rad' is. 2. insulting somerset didn't really ingratiate you in my mind no matter who or what he is. 3. staples are a pretty permanent fixture in my book and quickly applied. if it was hung on a hook i'd be more inclined to believe you. 4. trying to insult me doesn't really do your argument any favours. 5. what is uninformative or unconstructive about the relative merits of stealing? 6. have a nice day and try and be friendly with everyone else today now won't you.... no idea who the artist is though.

Does anyone know..., by errrr on Feb 26, 2008 17:44:44 GMT 1, my tuppence worth is that street pieces should be left for all to enjoy and naturally weathered, painted over by another artist etc. in the finest traditions of street art. All these walls getting removed is a shame and isn't what the artists intended and ultimately means there's less quality street art for everyone to see and enjoy.
But if something's been left on the street (like the early neates), in a skip or badly attached to something inviting removal then I've no problem with anyone taking it - to enjoy at home, sell, whatever the finder likes!
It'd be interesting to see what this piece looks like.

If you had looked up when you found the peice, you would have seen the MN holy grail, really hard place to get to, but yours if you can!!!!!
did i mention he has a fetish for white goods???!!!

How about a billboard and a few staples?
lol - only joking. not sure if i would take or not but interested in everyones views on the matter with this as a case in point. in fact - i live in tunbridge wells so fat chance of much being 'left around' as not exactly a hot bed of urban art as far as i can tell ...

If you go through his website there is a section called 'Lost Objects' and a similar image is within this section.
I believe MN leaves these to be found and taken home.
