Clutter Magazine

I have quite an indepth interview it the lastest CLUTTER mag

“C: So there’s an internal fight between consumerism and being an artist?

Exactly. My new work, like the sneaker fetish stuff is deliberately trying to address the issue of consumer fetishism and the role of us as buyers and how driven we are to be represented by products. And the relationship between want we want and what we need. I don’t think it’s very healthy.

C: Isn’t it a tribal thing though –tattoos, trainers etc..

Yeah definitely. It’s a way of representing who you are through clothes and shoes but I think we’re in such a flooded market where you buy your way into cool. In most sub-cultures you should have to work hard to show you are part of that culture and not just buy into it. It’s like if you can afford to buy “this” pair of trainers then you are instantly cooler than the next guy who didn’t buy the really hot kicks, when no you’re not you’re just an idiot with money, it doesn’t make you any cooler…”

FAKE FAKE FAKE

Wow i love these fakes so much!

They are so close to the original but yet so far-
The original INSA xOKI-NI hoodies were never produced by Kidrobot but yet these ones are…

And this is the best yet- this colourway never existed, not even as a sample so you gotta love the ingenuity.


As always these are being dealt with.

Graphotism 48

Whoop Whoop another front cover…

The lastest graphotism magazine has 24 pages on the calendar and some talk:

“…The initial concept was to focus on the colours of the cars. I didn’t want to go too graffiti but definitely wanted to have a graff feeling about it and make it look like my style. As the subject matter is purely an aesthetic thing, I wanted to exaggerate this by focusing on the surface layer- the gloss that hides everything below…….. I wanted it all to be super shiny, hyper real with vivid colours. Get the girls in colour matched rubber and cover the whole thing in a drippy shiny layer of paint….”

Not for fools

Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined!
