Amazon Art , by twist65 on Aug 7, 2013 11:46:32 GMT 1, I really don't think this "scene" is in any way anti-establishment/capitalism or whatever. A few artists might be, or might have been in the past before they made the big time, or may use token themes of social/political commentry within their work but the majority are just fashioning a career for themselves as professional artists. And there's nothing wrong with that, but lets face it there's not much anarchy or smashing the system around... Even the early days of POW, which kind of felt fresh and against the grain or whatever, was at the end of the day a money making, career and brand building exercise by a group of clever creative entrepeneurs... If you don't want to line Amazons pockets then simple, don't buy art from there, but as other people mentioned you probably don't want to be using eBay or checking this forum on your iPhone or iPad etc either or googling your favourite artist or doing countless other things..

Rae vs Bast! Fiiiiiight!!, by twist65 on Aug 7, 2013 0:12:39 GMT 1, Pretty poor that two brothers should fall out over there art. Urban arts very own Gallagher brothers. they'll have to go a long way to top the Dassler brothers, now there's some impressive sibling rivalry!
quite hope this "feud" intensifies, might lead to some interesting, erm "collaborative" street work =]

What's going on with POW?, by twist65 on Aug 2, 2013 20:44:44 GMT 1, ah fair do's then geoff, never been so didn't realise they printed on site, thought it was just a shop/gallery!
Wonder where that lots moving to then? If they fancy moving up north I can make a bit of room in our place, rent payable in APs, much cheaper than London rates.. =]

What's going on with POW?, by twist65 on Aug 2, 2013 14:52:57 GMT 1, I imagine its just a case of they haven't renewed the lease, and kept the place open whilst they were still paying rent on it. Prob would have closed it sooner if that wasn't the case. Always seemed a bit pointless to me anyway, since any release of any worth would sell out in milliseconds online and they didn't really use it as a gallery space, so whats the point in having an expensive retail space? Total guess and ill-informed speculation on my part though!

Dot Dot Dot โข Napoleon, by twist65 on Jul 18, 2013 15:00:51 GMT 1, Ah silly me - for I moment I thought there must have been some edgy social/political rationale as to why Napoleon was wearing a blue hat, but turns out it was just a mechanic to increase prices and maximise edition profits...
I wonder how much would it cost me if I asked him to do some lame childish scribble over the top of the hat?

ORIGINAL BEEJOIR CANVASES TODAY @ SOS 4PM, by twist65 on Jul 12, 2013 13:39:25 GMT 1, sounds interesting... and about bloody time someone did something with a bit of meaning and relevance rather than doodles over tosh or rainbows!! You haven't seen them yet! Beejoir has done some good stuff but some of this other stuff like 'Colour of Money' or 'Terror Canvas' hardly have much relevance or meaning - despite what some people might think. I was blatantly responding to this from Ruggs original post ie the subject matter rather than critiquing the actual work- "Some meaningful pop art..... Arab Spring, Snowden, Assange, Phone Tapping, Egypt, and so on and so on..... " Also think if you knew the back-story behind how the terror canvases finally resurfaced for sale you may change your opinion of them..
