In 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' Banksy says, "Before Thierry (Mr. Brainwash), I used to tell everyone that they should do art . . . I really don't do that anymore . . . "
We are feeling kind of like Banksy at this point.
There is a lot of new stuff going up on the streets, and not all of it is quality--like these new pastes from 'Gooface', for instance.
The images on these pastes are so pixilated, that it really isn't an image, more of a blurry mess. Furthermore, this doesn't seem to be part of the artistic expression, but what happens when you try to print a file with low resolution. The quality looks like a little kid-but the imagery is of a middle aged dude. If it is a kid, it might be forgiven. But if it is this dude-well, if you are 30 years old and putting this junk on the streets, it is just embarrassing and needs to stop.
Finally, we are sick of the way all these small-dicked newcomers think that capping another piece of art somehow makes theirs any better. As the pick shows, most of this particular box was empty. To cover a big-name street artist and quality product like this Andy Warhol does not give you bonus points, it only takes points away. All the young bucks need to realize that when you go over other art, you are shortening the life span of your piece, considerably.
The best thing about 'Gooface' is the name, but even that depends on how its pronounced. 'Goof-face'= brilliant. Goo-face=gross old middle aged artistically retarded dude.
Eh . . .
