steve powers - any videos / animations?, by twist65 on Jul 8, 2014 17:15:53 GMT 1, Afternoon all, Just wondered if anyone knows if Steve Powers' work has ever been made into any little films or animations? I've had a mooch on youtube etc but could only find interviews etc..
Reason being is i'm doing some workshops with kids and for part of it they have to design some infographics. We've been looking at Mr Powers amongst others for inspiration. Next up we might make a video, with moving type & graphics etc - so was wondering if there's any moving image inspiration out there!
Any pointers would be appreciated =]

Faile - Fuel, Fantasy, Freedom - Thoughts?, by twist65 on Jul 4, 2014 12:59:00 GMT 1, badrobot I don't really think it is pushing boundaries either, but I think most people would have an idea of what a new Faile show would look like, and most of the works here would not fit with that. Agree its kind of deconstructed, doing many of the same things as the collages etc albeit a slightly different aesthetic. Less awkward than the Fragments show though for me (although I love the one that Afr1ka picked up from that body of work).
Perhaps this kind of feel is an attempt to break outside of the 'urban' pigeonhole with contemporary collectors etc - to go up another level, the choice of gallery and price tags etc. Or maybe they did just decide to do a looser body of work inspired by their kids etc.. For me its interesting rather than amazing, I like them because I like Faile so despite the different feel, the imagery and subject matter isn't too much of a shock to the system. I can't really see people who don't like Faile changing their mind after seeing this show, and maybe a lot of hardcore fans only want to see stuff screenprinted onto canvas, wood or paper. But i'd much prefer to see something like this and the forthcoming abstract pieces planned for Edinburgh rather than show after show rehashing images from the archives with a few new ones here and there. Would be interesting to see if other big names such as Shep or D*Face could pull off something like this..

Off-Topic: France vs. Germany, by twist65 on Jul 4, 2014 12:38:13 GMT 1, Dunno what the score will be but I bet Glen Hoddle will say something ridiculous pre-match, and whichever team wins will have half their squad linked with a move to Man Utd in tomorrows papers

Faile - Fuel, Fantasy, Freedom - Thoughts?, by twist65 on Jul 4, 2014 9:51:10 GMT 1, I wouldn't mind the pdf too if anyone has it, although its just out of curiosity, not buying owt. I haven't been on here much of late but have been surprised about the lack of a thread! Assumed either people weren't feeling it or lack of a print to generate excitement..
Personally I think they look great and although I love their classic style more, its nice to see a fresh approach and I much prefer the look and feel to the Fragments experimental pieces from a few years back. The cars look amazing too but they're more Faile-ey I'm a sucker for that sort of subject matter..

New Banksy?, by twist65 on Apr 15, 2014 18:23:18 GMT 1, it shouldn't be a case of "the most community-minded thief gets it" though. I don't doubt all the good work they do but its not the clubs wall, so not theirs to take. if some other tosser nicks it for personal gain then thats very sad and inevitable but thats the way of the world.
I am sure they would have pretty good links with the council themselves and could have contacted the relevant authorities, maybe a few of the boys from the club protecting the piece til the Council showed up and decided what to do? Surely more moral than just nicking it before someone else does.

New Banksy?, by twist65 on Apr 15, 2014 17:25:44 GMT 1, The piece doesn't belong to the boxing club, does it? It might be vaguely near the boxing club but it's on the rear of the Council depot. If they remove it or sell it then they're liable to be committing theft unless they're doing so with the owner's permission. It'd be a pretty silly move to do so given they're reliant on Council funding to operate. If you have been to the site and seen the piece, you'll know if they don't someone will have it away and it'll be sold for personal gain. This is not good. we all want Banksy's street work to remain on the street. This is on wood, there were plenty of walls he could have painted on. exactly - I think its pretty clear that Banksy didn't intend the piece to be a permanent feature, he could easily have painted on an adjacent wall rather than this exact spot. Just like the grafitti sign piece that launched BOTI etc. What happens to the pieces once their up is part of the theatre. Its a nice sentiment the club using it as a fund-raiser but if its not their wall then plain and simple its not theirs to sell, and I wouldn't be advising them to do so.

New Banksy?, by twist65 on Apr 15, 2014 12:12:53 GMT 1, What about the fact that this is painted on a piece of wood that is clearly screwed to a wall. If you zoom in you can see the screws. Banksy would not paint this on the street, would he? maybe it was painted somewhere else and just screwed on? quicker job if its a dodgy location... love the film set conspiracy too though!

New Banksy?, by twist65 on Apr 15, 2014 12:10:29 GMT 1, yep ditto the above. Have to say i'm really enjoying this, reminds me of the good old days with forum members tearing round Blighty to get to a new piece first! Nice to watch it all unfold.. Love the placement and "classic Banksy"-ness of the phone tappers piece but the selfie couple just steals it for me, beautifully executed. Both different but both clear reminders of why he's head and shoulders above the competition.. =]

JR & David Lynch @ 99 prints, by twist65 on Apr 8, 2014 17:15:10 GMT 1, I think everyones going overboard with the negativity due to the high price and the 99prints release 'tactics' - maybe a grudge hangover from the first release. Which to be fair they probably deserve.
I don't love this print and I won't be getting one but certainly don't think it's the worst thing ever put through a litho press. I don't really get the image, but as Kyle says a bit of a back-story, even a strategically placed interview etc might have helped. It might be a grower.
So I kind of hope the release bombs so they change strategy on the next release. I'm not saying they should price things to leave room for flippers (if they did the tone of this thread would be different though!), just cut out all this secretive "I'm not telling you the price/details and am covering up the image with my fancy blue coat" nonsense... Even POW gave us all the details on the Huyuk.

Banksy+BNE for World Water Day, by twist65 on Mar 25, 2014 15:06:15 GMT 1, EDit: Thinking about it more... I wouldn't be surprised if by putting that quote on his site, Banksy has intentionally gifted it to him... he got his collab, he just needs to realise it. I'm staying out of all the bickering - but I totally agree with the above.. How many times does Banksy ever post about non-official or "scam" releases? I think the quote is a clever olive branch to dig BNE out of a hole. He didn't need to post anything, could have just kept schtum as per normal and let Jo Brookes etc get on with things.. The quote is still online too. I would have thought the Syria vid would have been up there but still the water charity statement..

Banksy+BNE for World Water Day, by twist65 on Mar 24, 2014 12:28:32 GMT 1, wow... had a pretty hectic weekend but managed to check out on a black large tee on Sat, thought it was a bit odd the way they were listed but kind of forgot about it, and have caught up with this thread.. what a complete pointless waste of everyones time! Whether Banksy was involved at some point or not with any of this (which doesn't seem to be the case), its a pretty sh!tty stunt and defo no winners here. Surely there's much easier and more ethical ways to raise a few quid, release a tee or both..
