MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.
My whole street is covered by idiots writing names like RAZE in bubble letters on store grates like it means anything more than “Me.” At the other end of the spectrum we have guys like Espo and Banksy who are so far from those guys it’s like comparing superhero comics to Peter Bagge. Then there’s this. Holy fucking Raising the Bar Batman.

STREET BONER 1127
Being straight edge as a kid is a great way to rebel against: puking, getting pregnant, and wrapping your parent’s car around a tree.

art is in the eye of the beholder. I like bubble letters. and I like that it says “this is me”. it’s a whole lot better to look at than the ads for newports and st ides.

Banksy? Fucking Banksy? Yes, yes sir, you sure know your graffiti. Of course that fucking hack is “at the other end of the spectrum”, I mean, he has to be! He is like, the only “graffiti” artist you’ve ever heard of, and it’s totally hip to be on his dick! No matter that all real graffiti artist think he’s a hypocritical piece of shit who’s only “original” idea ever was to paint an elephant to resemble wallpaper. Yes, the saviour of our generation.
Stop trying to be “real” or whatever the fuck your trying to get at. Everyone knows you’re a thirty something rich white guy Gavin. Talking about graffiti like this makes you look like an ass. Like McCain putting a baseball cap on sideways to show his “hip with the kids”. Although that would be more entertaining than this.

grafitti is stupid. grafitti “writers” are losers. they’re all, “i paint on walls that means i’m a revolutionary!” and then they go, “graf is the fourth element of hip-hop culture and that’s awesome.” then they call things “toy” and talk about “staying up” and “can control”. they masturbate to style wars and think the stupid shit they paint on a wall is somehow important. grafitti is stupid.

Graffiti is art approximately 4% of the time. Otherwise it’s just some asshole contributing to urban blight. The video was great for about 2 minutes, then got old fast.

You people are fucked. I’m not sure if you’re all jealous “graffiti artists” yourselves – or if you’re all just pompous, self righteous, hipster, wannabe artists. But this video is incredible if I do say so myself – and I do. I wouldn’t have seen it if Gavin hadn’t posted it. Sure Gavin can be a prick 95% of the time but in this occasion, no.
Suck four dicks.
This was awesome.

I love graffiti “fans” and “writers” getting all bent out of shape ‘cuz someone calls them on the fact that they are basically litterbugs who stay up late. How about tagging with etching cream on the windows of entrepreneurs new brand new businesses’ that they have busted their balls for and spent their whole life savings on? That is FUCKING WACK. Just like 99% of graffiti and tagging. You make me sick with your babyish whining.

that was neat. stop hating and do something fun with your life
06.16.08 at 9:58 pm
hey is great thanks! kind of reminds me of svankmajer… does anyone have digital versions of jankowski’s music for the brothers quay?
yeah well art is art only what percent of the time… “art is spilling off the page and frame into subway graffiti..” true or not a fine feeling
06.16.08 at 11:23 pm
well i’m definately jealous that i didn’t think of doing that.
06.17.08 at 1:03 am
Really? Banksy is mentioned in passing in this article. And who gives a shit what quote fucking unquote real graffiti artists think of him. You haters, sirs, are the true toys.
And this guy? He’s fucking AMAZING. Why, how, could anyone possibly hate on this? Why would anyone hate on Gavin for using his public forum to get the word out about Muto? To give other people, lots of other people the opportunity to view this moving three-story painting?
No Streetcarnage is not trying to be hip. It’s just trying to show you some cool shit. Sorry if you’ve heard about it before Gavin wrote about it. He’ll try to stop doing that.
