aye there was some nice stuff in that tunnel that was up for years, hes taking the piss a bit with this one. prolly just for his flickr followers overseas, they will all think its a tracky or something judging by the posed photo he took of it
Im getting really bored with Smug paintings now, not for the obvious reasons ie the council buff but for the fact that what he paints are just pure global crowd pleasers. Every painting has the same old formula of photo-realist characters and the odd weak letter peice. Once youve seen a couple you've pretty much seen them all. Id maybe repect him more if he was trying out something new and pushing himself but in my opinion he's doing nothing new graffiti wise and certainly doesnt entitle him to claim he's a uk graf king on a certain recent magazine cover haha. Its obviously he's got great technical ability, I just dont think hes got the originality. I dont blame him though for doing what he does coz no-ones really challenging him and its easy for him to get the fame that way.
I didnt type this reply to start another Smug hate thread. Its purley my opinion on just another glasgow writer.
Aye your right, the moneys probably a big thing for him but thats because its a job and im sure everyone would take the cash if they were offered. I think the fame is a big thing for him too though. If you look on any of his facebook posts or flickr pics, its full of people bigging him up from all over the globe, which no doubt would give you a bit of an ego problem which maybe makes him a bit of a wank to some people! Personally I find him quite easy to ignore. Haha very diplomatic there.
smug is a talented artist but just because the media he uses is spray paint dose not make him a writer i would love for once to see him do something illegal even if he has to change the word he uses!
walking down woodlands road the other day and you know that wee alley bit that used to have the old shoe, dram, vues dubs ? whole walls been buffed and scaffolding put up, looks like smugs started a mural there too, was outlines etc
not untouched but the dubs have been there for yeeeaaarrss, always enjoyed seeing em, there was another few oldies on the opsite wall too, dunno if theyr still there or gone
glad you guys like my pics. None of it's my art work, I don't write, I just like photographing it all. And I'm pretty shite at it, but getting better lol practice makes perfect. Comment my flickr or pm me there if ya want - always on the lookout for new stuff :) granticle
think smug is excellent at photorealism but looks like he stopped developing letter styles as much,dunno y he's so worthy of all the comissions tho plenty ppl with tht skill willin to take cash. 3k0i2..3t5.
