Iā€™ve been in Bristol for over 10 years, and have seen his fame grow. Bristol is now strangely the graffiti capital of Europe.

+1. Thanks Ted

Interesting, and slightly disturbing!

Just asked similar on Facebook, and got a bit of a hammering.

Really want to know if I am alone in thinking ā€˜heā€™ is a bit of a prat?

Personally, I find ā€˜hisā€™ statements contrived and blindingly obvious. I often think itā€™s all made with the idea of getting it hung on some hipsters wall, somewhere.

Probably being overly harsh here, but for an anti-capitalist/anti-consumerist he sure does love flogging a new book every few years.

Donā€™t fall into the trap that anti capitalists canā€™t earn themselves some money, KRG. What do you want him to do, live in poverty?

Well no, obviously not.

But, selling a book with a few new works and stuff from previous books does seem a touch against the over all message. As does flogging prints to Christina Aguilera for Ā£25k a pop.

Ah fuck it, KRG. Iā€™m finding the world too confusing. I donā€™t know what is right and what is wrong anymore. Iā€™ve given up thinking about anything. Letā€™s all just do what we want and let everyone else do what they want. So, I am taking back my earlier post about letting him earn his money and you are entitled to say what you want. Just as he is entitled to paint what he wants and earn what he wants even if you donā€™t like what he earns or what he paints and I donā€™t mind what he paints or earns nor I do I mind what you think about about what he paints and what he earns and let us all just go ā€œmehā€ or ā€œwhateverā€ or ā€œfair enoughā€ and then hide ourselves away and never have to deal or think about anything because thatā€™s easier and probably evolution.

Do you have this on a t-shirt Fatso?

Ha, Iā€™m not trying to stop him painting what he does. Or even stop anyone else enjoy him

I was sincerely asking if anyone else felt the same about him as I did. As I was met with a wall of disapproval for asking similar on Facebook.

No, but itā€™s an excellent idea and you have solved all of my Christmas shopping worries. T Shirts for everyone and fuck what they think. Or not.
