Well said, that's how all this started, let's hope that's how it continues.

...this.
Although as soon as we see something we like, all the talk of cost and edition sizes does show how desperate things have become.

Mobstr π¬π§ Street Art β’ Print Release β’ For Sale, by poppa on Jun 24, 2012 22:59:34 GMT 1, I guess you can keep telling yourself that. What gets me about this kind of crap is it's roots are in the pranks of Abbie Hoffman and the yipsters and that set of people, except that for them it was politically driven, not done to exploit people for capitalist gains by selling exclusive limited editions. Today any kid with a can of spraypaint can start stenciling walls and open up a myshopify site and start cashing in. And what's even worse is all the people eating it up. Even if you do like something it doesn't mean you have to consume and commodify it. And all the jibber jabber about "edition sizes" too? Who cares. It's just lame from so many angles.
Yawn...and you keep telling yourself that!

I agree with this.
His work on the streets is witty and inteligent. It makes me smile. That's why I like it.
Even if some here dont like it, at least he's out there painting.
As for this encouraging others to pick up a spray can, well good.
I fail to see any objection to the guy making a few quid for supplies by selling a few canvasses.
And if people want to buy them to remind them of his work on the street, that's all well and good in my book too.
Anyone buying because they think he will be the next big thing? I doubt it. The painting that most people have bought is from an open edition for a few quid. I suspect that is all it will ever be worth, and that too is good in my opinion.

I whole heartedly agree with that comment. The huh? piece made me chuckle after seing it in about 4 separate locations for 2 or 3 weeks when riding into work (Hackney Rd got hit hard) - i bought one purely for that reason alone, something to remind me of that normally mundane cycle into the office. I guess i'm lucky like that as I see Stik, Roa, Sweet Toof and many many other works every day where i live.
I like the fact that i live in an area that encourages these things to happen & appear regularly

If you think this guy is witty and has "imagination" then you don't have any yourself. Rehashed cliches in the most boring way. Art may be debatable but crap is not.
A bit harsh there mate, it may not be on everyones want or like list but it is clearly on quite a few, like all art there will always be some you don't like it doesn't necessarily make it crap.
