update yar

Been at college a week an a bit now. Is good to be back. Spent most of the time in the print room making mistakes.

Had a gander at ricky's site http://www.rickyadamphoto.com/ tother day. Is really good. Specially the LS6 section. Mint. Check it out.

I also looked Sheperd's Obey stuff, which Ricky Adam did a collaberation with. to be honest i'm not a big fan of the most famous 'obey' poster. But they do some other really good stuff and are a genuinly ethically aware/commited. www.obeygiant.com






This is a poster done by them/him for Global Grassroots, to raise awareness of the genecide in Darfur. I like the handmade/printed feel about it.

I also discovered the pictures on walls website (www.picturesonwalls.com). Its got a load of 'urban' (ish) art. Don't normaly like stuff thats 'urban', but their was some really good stuff.

a few of my faves:



Beautiful Losers - Mike Mills - The Cops are Inside Us (picture frame not part of the piece).

Mint. Its urban but its political urban. not stupid urban. Like banksy. (Hes political urban, not stupid urban)



Beautiful Losers - Ed templeton - Wasted Space Is...

Again really good homemade/collage/messy yet simple feel to it.



Eric the Dog - Grey Bear



Eric the Dog - Brown Teddy

According to Pictures on Walls Eric is 'the first artist Satan would hire if he was bringing out a range of fairytale books for children.'

I like the old fashioned etched kind of style being used to create some warped post modern images.



Faille- Happens Every Day

Really like this one. i think i just like the colour.

O yer. One last thing. Did any watch The Trap: What Happened to Our Dreams of Freedom on telly the other week. Im not sure when it was on. My parents are middle class now and had it saved on Sky Plus and I watched it when I went home. If you get a chance, watch it. Extremely interesting. Looks at the way different peoples interpretations of freedom lead to lack of freedom. Fantastico.

Till next time...
