This is why I Hate Banksy


He is a pretentious boring officeworker rich boy who thinks he has some right make any kind of social comment, when his art is tired, uninspired and pretty much just a plea for attention and fame. Banksy is part of the system he is so arrogantly critiscising. If this dude was still on the street, and doing work that was more than a gimmick, maybe he'd have some credibility, but he's getting his work sold in auctions for millions, and getting paid to graffiti stuff now so, shut up sellout.

Bansky is not only a part of the "modern art" scene, he is also ruining the credibility of whats left of street art now, and the popularity of his work just propels us further down the spiral of "art for fame" where kids only make paste ups in the hope of doing a collab with nike someday.

Go die, banksy, or at least say something positive. Seriously the creative people of the world arent sitting around spouting wisdom about what's wrong with art or music or culture, there are out there doing shit, and they arent getting paid millions to do it.

Popdeck


Popdeck is a new site along the lines of threadless, but for skateboard decks rather than tees. There's nothing up for sale yet, but the current prize money for a winning design is $500, plus a free deck with your design on it. I hope it catches on like threadless did, cause skate decks are an awesome medium to design onto.

Jay Adams


Ever since I watched Lords of dogtown, I was interested in the life of Jay Adams, Cause of his punk rock side, and maybe the fact he was played by Emile Hirsch. There's a book out with early dogtown/ Jay Adams pics taken by his stepfather, Kent Sherwood. Looks like it's worth the $20 or so they are asking for it.

Photoshop Goes Online and Free

While it's still a teaser at the moment, John Nack (Senior Product Manager for Photoshop) has confirmed the development of Photoshop Express. It's a free online photo editor that's not meant to replace Adobe's current offerings, but "make Adobe imaging technology immediately accessible way to large numbers of people."OK, so image macros are going to increase tenfold now kids can make them online for free. Someone needs to hack into the site and send a virus to every person who tries to use lens flare.

Hole Punched

If you did this in acetate you could use it as a pretty cool stencil, probably not at a1 size though.

Why didn't I ever think of this?

Ok, so here's the deal: these two artists living in New York paint a bunch of stuff they want, then sell it for the cost of that thing (or a swap). Too clever, cause its the kind of gimmick the internet loves. Check it out here: WANTS FOR SALE

They are everywhere!

I really want this book.

Glen E Friedman is awesome but why are his books always so expensive in Australia? He is releasing a book full of photos of fugazi, looks ssssick. Maybe i will preorder it.. I'm sure it will cost heaps though. Personally, I would have called it "this is not a book of fugazi photos" ala their old Magritte-esk band tees. Anyway here it is:
FUGAZI : Keep Your Eyes Open : photos by glen E. friedman

BEST MARKETING CAMPAIGN. EVER.

Boxfresh have a new competition that involves you sticking up posters for them and taking photos to win some cash. It works, I wanna enter.
