Phew!!..........I`m glad you two have sorted your gripe out was worried that one of you could have ended up with only one ear...... :) :)

Mr Basbat

Yeah - I`d be happy to see the links.

I guess I learned to love the Burroughs stuff when I was working on a documentary that put me in touch with him and others (like Terry Wilson who was close to Gysin). I have quite a bit of correspondence ....as well as some artworks and rarities, including the receipt for his first purchase of art materials by Burrough in Kansas following Gysin`s death. There may be an element of emporer`s new clothes about them isn`t there always) yet they seemed to perfectly reflect the Burroughs schtick.

Gilbert and George may be something of a one-trick pony (and actually graphic designers as much as anything) but I was lucky enough to have spent some time with them and they were charming. I don`t know what madd me think of them....the closes thing to graffitti art that I could think of perhaps?!

Sorry about getting so uppity about Banksy. Radical art generally has that effect, though I`m normally more inclined to champion than object. How weird. I must be getting old. :/

Sounds like you have a very interesting career

I once met egon ronay!


I`ve gone totally blank now I have come to make some recommendations so this is just a few

You probably know Obey - sheperd fairey - he did the cover of the latest Lep Zep album and the iconic Obama print
He is also known for contributing to Andre the Giant`s legend - and is a prolific paste-up`er

Invader - does some good stuff inc his Rubik Kubricks

Logan Hicks - another stencilist, very detailed

Blu
Tyler Stout - does a lot of film and concert posters (incl FoTC) - his Robocop is very f***ing cool

looking at these now - the majority probably fall under the design banner as well

Some nice stuff there...as you say, probably more `illustrator / graphics` than fine art but clever stuff nonetheless. Never heard of Tyler Stout but like his work....

Re: My Career...I`ve inadvertedly made it sound far more interesting than it actually is by pinpointing a couple of highlights in an otherwise fairly mundane working life. Most the time I make crushingly dull corporate films so arguably I am really in no position to criticise anyone else`s `art`!

I have been lucky enough to occasionally abuse the possibilities in order to meet people I like but there are not that many of those!

Thanks for the links! :D

Exit Through The Gift Shop is released on DVD and Blu Ray 6th Sept 2010. I didn`t get to see it at the cinema so might just buy it, is it worth it whoot, or anyone else who has seen it?

Thought it was pretty good, interesting how 1st half is like proper documentary, then as it goes on the line between fact and fiction gets more blurry :) Reminded me of Beastie Boys videos and their video director nathanial Hornblower :)


In the ad breaks there were some Banksy inspired messages showing old adverts, a different voice over for an embarrasing bodies advert which was v funny (made it like a Jam/Blue Jam sketch!), and then this :)
