What? I don't form opinions based on whether or not they're cool, hex.I just really don't like his work. I'm heavily involved in the lowbrow art scene, and there are loads of street artists whose work I love - I just find his very obvious, quite unattractive and a bit ham-fisted.

sorry, I didn't mean to target you personally when I said thatand yeah, I sort of agree, but when given an exhibition room, he's a really very talented installation artist, and I admire him for that.

Heh, s'fine. :)And yes, you're right about his installation skills. Quite ironic, really. :D
But yeah, while I do like some of his ideas, I've always found his political angle quite clumsy and unneccesary. He's really not as much of a firebrand as he seems to think.

Uh?So you dislike stuff that's very obvious, quite unattractive and a bit ham-fisted?
You must fucking hate it round here!
