Foo - OT: stencils/graffiti/stickers

Show your stencil art, paste-ups, graffiti, stickers or plain old tags. It could be outdoors, indoors, on your mess bag, bike or whatever. I'm curious to see what street art peeps are doing. I'll kick things off.

FYI: there's an entire subforum dedicated to stuff that's not about bikes (http://bikeforums.net/forumdisplay.php?f=199). As far as i know, you can't ride a sticker collection.
If you need to post about non cycling stuff on a cycling forum, consider doing it there.

Yeah but OT is the new MASH.

OT was like three weeks ago, and rendered the ssfg useless.

gg l2p crai moar?!

It has a use? :)

speaking of OT, you listed your panasonic under the catagory "Item Specifics - BMX Bikes & Frames" on ebay. not sure if you did this intentionally, but as someone who's impulse bought by catagory browsing, i think you may want to update your listing...

but how will the ssfg community know about his mad street skillz if he posts in foo?

Thats weird. It shouldnt have been there. I had trouble with my browser listing it and had to re-list it. Maybe i ****ed that up.
Thanks.

edit: Thanks again, i changed it. :)

?

Speaking of Foo, welcome to Foo ;)

One of my jobs at work is to design and print all the UPC stickers and shipping labels for our products. They are pretty boring though, so I really won't post any unless ya'll really want to see a upc label for a foam football.

srsly pickles. straighten up, fly right, and start being interested in sewing and vegan cooking. then you may return to ss/fg

Balls :( Are there any still left alive?

We probably only have a hundred thousand on the floor right now. Were you needing something specific?

Traveling balls Señor ...

Sadly, my work in that arena is done. I set them free and ya'll killed them. I even set loose a second and third wave of explorers, and they too vanished from the annals of recorded history. The death of a traveling ball is such a waste.

Here are some exciting shots of labels in their natural state in my office.

Excellent! Deep pockets to pick. Nothing like having the person responsible, pay for the removal of their own "art".

it's very funny over here - every time a pissed off local council/authority paints over one :D there's a lot of protest noise from the "artsy fartsy crowd" (I can draw therefore I is one :o ). Inspite of the fact that it's graffiti and technically vandalism :rolleyes:

Most of what we have in my community is just rubbish, tags mostly. Hard to consider it art. Simply, I prefer these "artists" to keep their "art" off my property.

Don't post if you are here to hate. It just makes you look dumb posting things like goof off.

business owners abroad cherish a Banksy and have been pissed when it was removed or covered.

incorrect.

incorrect.

Given how incredibly easy it is to teach yourself to draw realistically please explain?

The primary tool of any competent artist is sketching out ideas. If they're so inept they can't even take the time to learn to draw properly then how would they ever convey their message clearly.

Even conceptual and performance artists need to do realistic sketches for scenes, layouts and any construction when preparing for the next show.

you miss the point.

How so?

Please describe, without referring to any other image (since we're using words only), a simple line drawing so that it can be reproduced as accurately as possible.

I'll let Sol Lewitt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_LeWitt) explain:


Sentences on Conceptual Art

1. Conceptual artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach.

2. Rational judgements repeat rational judgements.

3. Irrational judgements lead to new experience.

4. Formal art is essentially rational.

5. Irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically.

6. If the artist changes his mind midway through the execution of the piece he compromises the result and repeats past results.

7. The artist's will is secondary to the process he initiates from idea to completion. His wilfulness may only be ego.

8. When words such as painting and sculpture are used, they connote a whole tradition and imply a consequent acceptance of this tradition, thus placing limitations on the artist who would be reluctant to make art that goes beyond the limitations.

9. The concept and idea are different. The former implies a general direction while the latter is the component. Ideas implement the concept.

10. Ideas can be works of art; they are in a chain of development that may eventually find some form. All ideas need not be made physical.

11. Ideas do not necessarily proceed in logical order. They may set one off in unexpected directions, but an idea must necessarily be completed in the mind before the next one is formed.

12. For each work of art that becomes physical there are many variations that do not.

13. A work of art may be understood as a conductor from the artist's mind to the viewer's. But it may never reach the viewer, or it may never leave the artist's mind.

14. The words of one artist to another may induce an idea chain, if they share the same concept.

15. Since no form is intrinsically superior to another, the artist may use any form, from an expression of words (written or spoken) to physical reality, equally.

16. If words are used, and they proceed from ideas about art, then they are art and not literature; numbers are not mathematics.

17. All ideas are art if they are concerned with art and fall within the conventions of art.

18. One usually understands the art of the past by applying the convention of the present, thus misunderstanding the art of the past.

19. The conventions of art are altered by works of art.

20. Successful art changes our understanding of the conventions by altering our perceptions.

21. Perception of ideas leads to new ideas.

22. The artist cannot imagine his art, and cannot perceive it until it is complete.

23. The artist may misperceive (understand it differently from the artist) a work of art but still be set off in his own chain of thought by that misconstrual.

24. Perception is subjective.

25. The artist may not necessarily understand his own art. His perception is neither better nor worse than that of others.

26. An artist may perceive the art of others better than his own.

27. The concept of a work of art may involve the matter of the piece or the process in which it is made.
28. Once the idea of the piece is established in the artist's mind and the final form is decided, the process is carried out blindly. There are many side effects that the artist cannot imagine. These may be used as ideas for new works.

29. The process is mechanical and should not be tampered with. It should run its course.

30. There are many elements involved in a work of art. The most important are the most obvious.

31. If an artist uses the same form in a group of works, and changes the material, one would assume the artist's concept involved the material.

32. Banal ideas cannot be rescued by beautiful execution.

33. It is difficult to bungle a good idea.

34. When an artist learns his craft too well he makes slick art.

35. These sentences comment on art, but are not art.

Botto? still no answer?

So, Botto, you dug out a reference which appears to say that as long as you can think it it's art from someone else?

Either you believe that just by thinking you are creating art and, being obtuse, that implies that sitting in an infinitely large black, lightless box, with no physical action while thinking [apathy clearly being the wrong word] is art?

I'd have to say that art needs to be shared to be art just as noises in the forest are not necessarily noises unless there's an ear to hear them?

no digging necessary.

if you don't know who sol lewitt is, then you should cut you losses with the 'discussion' right away.

sure, why not?
