Some may have noticed my railing on various media against the Ken Done teatowelism that suburban wall murals have become. If your moronic council is sponsoring an art form, dude, it’s played. If a council is not sandblasting your artwork, you can be guaranteed it’s shit. If your dumbarse suburban council that can barely collect your recycling, is flying in teatowel artists to paint up your walls – it’s over.
This however is another level. You can’t talk about the pumping, pumping, pumping of a vibrating hand when you are the one doing the vandalism can you? When you are also really bad? And your kerning is an arse? Or does he mean Teh Stormy Mills in the background? It’s another towel artist? Whatever, they’re all Stormie Mills to me. I don’t care. Perineum captures the dying in the arse of Stormie Mills wall teatowelism. We hope. I have to say that I prefer this to having a giant numbat on this wall.

They made a rhyme! And the artwork by the side is just pure Banksy. Give this person a government grant immediately. Get Angry Anderson involved; we can rule the streets if Angry gets behind this.

fucking stormie mills. i just can’t get the fascination with this lame-ass ‘artist’ who paints the same shit over and over. it wasn’t good the first time – 100th time, definitely still shit. his popularity is proof that most people are either stupid or will like whatever they’re told to like

I’m absolutely fine with his stuff on a teatowel. On a heritage building no.

And even on the walls of laneways and warehouses now, I’m preferring the bare walls. There comes a point when less is more with these, and we passed that point years ago.

for me it’s the fact that i have to look at ‘artwork’ that is deemed worthy of public display and to become part of the urban landscape, but who is it that decides ‘this is what we should see on our walls’? it’s like people say if you don’t like porn then you don’t have to watch it, but there is no such thing for public art / murals. a lot of it is clichéd and repetitive, and frankly, i don’t want to see it everywhere either

Well, that’s partly my point. If it’s a council deciding then you get the worst possible result. An unauthorized piece that the council violently opposes could be quite a different thing.

The amateur crappiness of this graffiti is actually a lot more interesting than the professional teatowelling which is all you see now.

It makes me yearn for the more simple, idealistic times of “vomit in my mouth”.

City of Vincent Public Art Policy requires all laneway C&B to be ‘New York Style’. Can Buckels possibly justify that sort of cultural cringe?

He threatened to put a giant pic of me on the side of an Inglewood liquor store and encourage youths to “C&B it back to the Stone Age “
