The Flat Black review in images (elvis in disco boots)

http://pretentiousartist.com/blog/ | 13.02.2007 19:18 | Sheffield

So the urban art thing " http://www.banksy.co.uk" target="banksy
is in the news the week Banksy banks a record £102,000 at Sothebys' as bidders go into a feeding frenzy." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy"





















Meanwhile " http://myspace.com/flatblack" in Sheffield an exhibition at the Workstation in the Pretentious Industries Quarter " http://www.phlegmcomics.com" bombs the wall as part of it all along with work from

Urban Artists in a sterile, vile environment.. Their work is lifted from the streets of Sheffield to a new home for three weeks. now we are sure if these tags or bombs were upon the walls in the streets of the Middle Mlass they would be not so happy but here they can talk about how wonderful the work is while drinking Red Wine and Vodka at the launch. of course we weren't there but we are told there was a mix of people. So not too many Tabathas and Tarquins then but we can can guess some of this scum will have been there, oh how they love us when we do as we are told.

Well, you see 0742 ain't playing this fucking game, good on Bansky for selling the work but myself i enjoy my poverty it means my urban art stays as a self expression.

Yes i would love to have had a camera as Attercliffe was in decline in the mid 1980s loved to have taken images of the derelict homes i played in during the mid 1970s on West Don Street.

Losing your virginity in a derelict school in Neepsend under the gas works on a summers day in 1977 was cool playing on Parkwood Springs was just awesome this is where my urban art comes from.

You see, one is taking the piss with the name Pretentious Artist and working under the tag of 0742 - the old Sheffield code before it all become a little sterile and vile. do not get me wrong, i still love Sheffield and all this current urban regeneration means a new playground for this 41 year old kid.

I now have a Fuji A500 which means i can now do what i desired as a youth. instead of just flyposting OR bombing my discontent, i can now say it with images and people like phlegm give this old cynical twat a kick in their bollocks. i feel, for the next three weeks, Much will be the same or is that i hope somehow i feel the middle class of the Pretentious Industries Quarter have no such feeling, any feeling they have has been numbed by the coke they snort and the wine they drink while informing us that urban art is so radi-cool. well, i'd sooner just be a number and the one of 0742 thanks. if you want to buy my work then make an offer, if i feel there is enough to give to the resistance in Palestine then i'll take your offer. press contact worldwarfreatrisupdot, anything more than 1 pence and i'll give it a thought..
