Why am I so bored with stencil art?, by Gentle Mental on Dec 30, 2013 4:41:26 GMT 1, but it has always been like this. that's what "genres" are.
Stencil art = street art (due to fast and accuracy) = skulls and grenades and spray cans and monroes and riot police
just as say.. oil painting = grass and skies and lakes and christian themes and smiling naked fat women and bowls of fruits and flowers
time for a revolution? sure why not? but what?

Dotdotdot... why are people buying this???, by Gentle Mental on Dec 30, 2013 4:31:21 GMT 1, i like dotdotdot.
he's still finding his way and is getting better every time.
too much hype might destroy mojo to produce.
dran has gone sooo quiet. and i think the hype (and huge influx of cash? maybe?) has something to do with it.
so please settle down people. let the man grow his skills and so our eyes can enjoy more visual pleasures.

well proven? but not presented.
you are arguing about "may" well do it? hypotheticals?
it's not fair and it's not the law.
it's blatant corruption and abuse of power - the people who abuse their power and are corrupt are evil and are in my book, "dogs".
you have not answer any of my questions. you have no case.
just lies and cheap allegations from your masters.

So he still owes his tax bill. He has presented no figures to prove ha case as he hides revenue offshore He does not declare sales and earnings which he tries to hide. Eg by saying it's not his company that sells His work and his name and exhibitions etc therefore he does not know what it makes. Dappy yes your right very poor. But as always Gental tries to use the "Ai Wei Wei loves it" in an attempt to gain Credibility do you have prove on the offshore money hiding?
where did you get that info from?
you did not answer my questions but threw allegations like they are facts. much like the dogs you work for.

Zhao ๐ธ๐ฌ Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Gentle Mental on Dec 29, 2013 14:40:01 GMT 1, you are wrong. johnnyh. so wrong.
he paid more than half for an appeal. which they refuse to let him testify and prove his case.
the public donated a huge chunk, which he is returning to the donors (along with free art)
so in effect this whole episode is going to cost him the entire tax bill.
if the authorities really want the other half, why don't they go get it? it is because they don't want to bring this up any more. if someone's evading over a millino dollars in tax, you would put him in jail won't you?
they have no case. they just want him shut up. while he's "black out" from the local media, they can work they China Daily PR claim ai to be "tweaking to the west" propaganda to the masses by exposing corruption and violations of human rights.
Think for a moment. don't argue for the sake of arguing. know your accusations based on generalisations and propaganda are causing harm.

Zhao ๐ธ๐ฌ Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Gentle Mental on Dec 29, 2013 14:25:35 GMT 1, Yes actually the charges are almost certainly legit. There is a big clampdown on tax avoidance in China. His problem is that he obviously annoyed the government. In retaliation they looked into his tax paying. He has not been able to prove them wrong. His works sell for huge amounts of money so he is an easy target as they can monitor his revenue although much was kept offshore as it were. Lots of people fiddle their taxes in China but they also keep a lower profile. So he is an easy target but yes I do believe he did not pay his taxes. He has shown nothing to disprove that and he has shy'd away from revealing how much he does earn which from all accounts is massive amounts. So the dissident thing suits him but it's out dated now as all on the blogs and wei chat. He tweaks with the west not with the Chinese.
"He tweaks with the west not with the Chinese."
Is revealing the deleted names of thousands of children, many under 7, who died under poorly, and corruptly built schools during the sichuan earthquake "tweaking with the west?"
Is exposing the fact that thousands of poor were evicted from Beijing during the Olympics so as to present a more civilized face to the world "tweaking with the west"?
Is placing international spotlight on the many who were detained and tortured without trial, "tweaking with the west?"
Is being detained for 81 days without trial or even any reason "tweaking with the west"?
It is for the good old China Corp and its subsidiaries/dogs.

A simple check would've revealed all and save everyone the trouble wouldn't it?
He has revealed everything and chose not to leave when he could. He has even paid half the ransom for the sake of safeguarding the people's system.
But his appealed was denied without a fair trial or even allowing him to testify.
This unfairness means the system is broken.
How could he win?
Would u pay if it were u fair?
U do drink a lot of china corp's milk don't you? Explains a lot. It is fast and easy money. But know it is tainted with blood of many.

is it because it uses one google jpegs instead of 2?

Think it's the cynic in me popping out Sure this will be described as "Detournement, a Situationist concept of turning powerful capitalist icons against themselves" which I understand but it also baffles me at times like this As to me it looks like a standard MM pic on an LV logo......really missing what the Corporate Conspiracy is.. fully understand that you have changed the colour Cartrain but can you explain the concept. If your struggling Gentlemental sorry Zhao tells a good line of bull to explain this sort of thing. you could do a Mikey standing AP version
