You know what the problem is with graphic designers? We make shit. Uninteresting, unremarkable shit.
Now I'm not some grungy wannabe designer that's searching for existentialism through a haze of bong smoke or anything. It's easy to pick apart cliches, short-sighted design briefs and a purely moronic slapping together of images that many agencies term as 'prose'.
No, I'm talking about a lack of creativity. We are inundated with shit, design and advertising that corporate big wigs sign-off and press upon us as consumers.
If you're interested in engaging design work, new ideas and purchasing a piece of my creativity instead of a pile of shit, please contact me."

"hate comes with success."
by LlanteraNah, hate or dislike for Banksy comes from him selling out and becoming 'the man' who he set out in the start to make a mockery out of.
It's down to greed on his behalf and that's why we should boycott even talking about the c*nt
lol

I didn't pose the question to stir the shit, but Banksy is a forum hand grenade. Pull the pin and run.
I think that says something.

Most likely jealous they didn't think to do something so simple first.

Bansky?
Who?
The guy who creates as 30 years ago?
Who criticizes the world like everyone does it?Woooooo!!! I am a rebel, I draw on the walls, like 15 million years ago, with l' old of the caves! What a innovation!
The "rebellion" is in fact an afflicting mondialized conformism...

"haha, 20 grand my arse."What annoys you so much he commands prices like this? That fact that's it's shit/good work, or the fucking muppets that buy and demand it that drives this kind of price?
I enjoyed the first Banksy I saw and the ones after it. For free.
Having a Warhol vs. Banksy exhibit was over the fucking top.

not like they're actually really comparable but after all this Fairey noise I have a new healthy appeciation for what Bankey does.
- Its important to appeciate!andymcandy
- well at first I thought Banksy was the tits shit but then was put off all the media and art shows and stuff. he just seemed like another sellout.KwesiJ
- ...like another sellout. But this Fairey shinanigans is pretty bad and he was actually considered 'street artist'KwesiJ
- Makes me rethink what Banksy has been doing all along and the actual scene he's a part of.KwesiJ

i have his cd and his book wall and piece, the backcover quote is the best
- dog_opus0
I don't know; I like the quality of his work and his innovative spirit, even though I think his politics and the mystique that surrounds him are sophomoric.
- uberdesigner0
he's just a creative guy

this dude is talked to death, he's about as relevant as osama now. he had a fucking 'gallery' show in an ally way and brad pitt owns his stuff.
