Great Barr Graffiti

Just on my way to the bank at the Scotts. On my journey i came across this piece, situated next to the bridge by appleton avenue:

Its suprising to see a throw-up such as this that encorporates a kind of subtle intellegence about it as most of the graffiti round these ends are just illegible scribblings.

I had a little browse on the website too and it turns out the majority of these throw-ups are displayed in the great barr area. Im thinkin that the artist himself is from the area. Who knows?

Its utter bollocks, the dude tries so damn hard to give the 'smart' aspect to his/hers grafitti

his animal pieces also suck cock, needs some of his own style

if he stopped puting the words on it would be o.kish

(sorry in advance for the harshness)

ant. if it was an established artist then you would not be saying these comments. he is doing his own thing.. how many people do that sort of stuff round birms??
plus you cant deny, hees got talent.
i rekon it's sik.
it is also politically and socially imminent because of the fluctuating degree of events happening in cuba. hence the fidel castro image and quote.
research it, he has.
gets ratings off me.
word.

the fact that there already 2 established artists that do the same things is the exact reason he doesnt get props from me R.K

n i didnt say his quotes were wrong i said he tries to hard, the pieces just ooze a 'try hard' vibe

trust me

i said sorry for the harshness, i was actually pissed off when i posted that first one

certain aspects of his work i do admire quite a bit, however some i cannot, i will do some research into this however, as i want to see what he wants from his graff
