D*Face Riot Print, by Nico on Dec 11, 2009 8:42:57 GMT 1, Actually on closer inspection, it's not just flames coming out randomly, but the wick makes it a Molotov Cocktail. That makes my previous statement flawed. I still stick to: Coke = Big Business, corporate...signifies conformity But the Molotov Cocktail now makes me view it as a non-conformist spoof on a classic conformist advertising campaign . With propaganda being what it is, it is asking the common brainwashed person do something out of the box, and convincing them to do so by using advertising trickery that has been used to thwart people into buying billions of a single product. Essentially, it is turning the positive mass marketed message into an anarchist ideal using the comfortable branding that has already been established. Sometimes the easiest way to convince people to follow your belief, is to use an already successful marketing campaign to do so...by just adding a twist. Is the message new? Not at all. But then we must ask ourselves what the artist wants us to riot for? Is it in the context of street art, taxes, government, etc? Is he wanting physical confrontations, or just asking us to fight mentally against conformity and the ideal of mass marketing and big business? Things that make you go hmm..... Now this is what makes art so fun!
As much as talking about a piece is interesting...it doesn't take a genius to see it's a molotov cocktail. WOW! (oh...and I think the bottle is a coke bottle) ;D

Grafter - "Secrets" - SOLD OUT, by Nico on Dec 10, 2009 20:11:35 GMT 1, What kind of comment is that?s**t, sometimes I really don't get why some members feel the need to be obnoxious. Grafter seems a decent enough bloke do you have a reason for this comment?

Banksy - No Ball Games (GREEN), by Nico on Dec 8, 2009 16:17:54 GMT 1, What if the forum banned guests ? Members only....New members must be recommended by existing ones....Admittedly a little elitest but could deny the odd opportunist flippa
Sorry mate but that's ridiculous. I'm an honest art lover, not a flipper, doesn't mean I have to know anyone out here as really...I don't. So for your "be a member on recommendation only"... BAD IDEA.

Banksy - No Ball Games (GREEN), by Nico on Dec 8, 2009 12:13:03 GMT 1, It's hilarious really. It clearly says in the T's and C's: "DO NOT re-enter your email" yet so many still say "I've re-entered, in case I put the wrong email address before"....COME ON!!!!
Does anyone think they can possibly have not entered the right address the first time??? Really?

Banksy โข No Ball Games GREY, by Nico on Dec 3, 2009 20:01:10 GMT 1, Right about the lack of message here... Not finding it makes me go "wow, this is genius". Don't get me wrong I love Banksy but this isn't witty, or clever.

FS ADAM NEATE "COME ON" @ HALF PRICE, by Nico on Nov 26, 2009 9:56:44 GMT 1, Cheers guys. What I should have done was put a bank note or coin next to it to give some scale to it! We'll see, definitely, being literally on the edge, a mount frame would solve that...not sure about ironing it...will leave that suggestion in the "bad ideas box".
