You short of PMs or summat? Go on, send us it.

It'll go in the North London Drinks (witch is dead) thread, once I've resized it.

Is that really her dad? I think that hat's borderline, TBH, but maybe difference cultural norms operate in Chile. I certainly don't want to be accused of Euro-centrism in my assessment of what's stylistically appropriate.

That's her da yeah, he says he was arrested 3 times during the dictatorship. Camila is 3 months pregnant apparently. Laura probably thinks that's a little bit patriarchy or something.

But purely from a practical point of view that scarf is, as you say, asking for trouble in any close combat/street fighting situation...

Or a revolving door or getting out of a car situaton.

Anyways.

Competitively ridiculous pro- and anti-Thatcher headlines today. This isn't so much rewriting history as an argument on a toilet wall.

Ah, the old both sides are as bad as each other bollocks. Full liberalism.

Putting "yerba mate" into the Sainsburys website search engine comes up with three different suggestions:

• Nestlé Coffeemate
• Aussie Shampoo, Colour Mate
• Mates Condoms

Doesn't look like I'll be sampling it anytime soon.

Only shop at Sainsburys then?

...these artists are dedicated to a more democratic art world, and a more democratic world in general.

The 29-year-old artist Molly Crabapple is part of this vanguard. Until a couple years ago, Crabapple, born Jennifer Caban in Far Rockaway, Queens, was best known for her burlesque art and—because of its highly adult content and her background as a stripper—pigeonholed as a sex artist. But when her Occupy Wall Street images went worldwide, all that changed. Crabapple was suddenly both a graphic artist for the movement and an emblem of the way that art could break out of the gilded gallery. Her poster for the May Day General Strike, for example, depicts a woman, bathed in light like an Eastern Orthodox icon, but solid and human as Diego Rivera’s workers.

Crabapple’s work, argues BBC editor Paul Mason, who last year wrote about Crabapple, Mark Read, and other young artists, in “Does Occupy Signal the Death of Contemporary Art?” speaks to what might “replace contemporary art. … It is of the world of graphic novels, graffiti, posters, body art, cross- genre performance art.” With her graphic reportage from Greece and Seville, he tells me, “Molly bent the genre some more with these impromptu interventions into journalism: blood on the floor in Athens, anarchist run farms in Spain, a grungy court scene in Manhattan.”

one handed reportage from mason eh

 

[JimW]

Breaking out of the gilded gallery so she can charge back in with the terms substantially improved. Canny chancer.

Marilyn Manson shaved a swastika into his new porn star girlfriend's pubic hair.

The controversial rocker — who has been involved in an on/off relationship with "The Wrestler" actress Evan Rachel Wood — is dating Serb-Scottish adult movie star Stoya, who allows him to customize her intimate body hair.

Shocking.

 

[DotCommunist]

yes, at length. It's like hogarth seen through the lense of a fucking twat

Oh yes. It's even in that new republic story.

More money to be made from that than hoping someone will buy a piece from a gallery or an online art store. She's also got the shitty, art school pretentious blurb to go with it I see and best of all, it's written by someone else:

“Molly bent the genre some more with these impromptu interventions into journalism: blood on the floor in Athens, anarchist run farms in Spain, a grungy court scene in Manhattan.”


What's he get out of it, soiled costume above? I bet Mark Oaten would pay good money for that jock strap if it had been worn by an incontinent rent boy.

I don't dislike her artwork, I think she is does have a talent and is very creative... it's just a bit contrived, there's no real depth to it. It's as though she chose to do this kind of art rather than it being an expression IYSWIM. Sorry, am rambling

 

[Firky]

There's a very active mod on this thread.

I've enjoyed some of her pencil stuff, it's curvy and yes going for a steadman with less edge. Some of it is just shite tho.

 

[equationgirl]

I think her art all looks the same. She may be trying to make a political statement with it but it doesn't have enough impact in my opinion. Like firky says, there's no depth.

 

[tenniselbow]

Agree. Most of her work looks like that of a steady-handed Steve Bell not working to a daily deadline

 

[tenniselbow]

"I’m told that it’ll happen whether I want it to or not: no matter how many communiqués I read or marches I go on, by 35 I’ll be voting for the Liberal Democrats"

I thought she had accomplished this by the age of 24?

 

[tenniselbow]

Also, this: "In 1968 Ulrike Meinhof wrote: “Columnism is a personality cult. Through columnism, the left-wing position . . . is reduced to the position of one individual, an isolated individual, to the views of an original, outrageous, nonconformist individual, who can be co-opted because, in being alone, they are powerless." It’s worth noting that, a few years later, Meinhof decided that armed insurrection was a more efficient route to the revolution she wanted to see and helped form the militant Red Army Faction. For Meinhof, the pen may have been mightier than the sword but home-made explosives got the job done quicker. She was wrong about at least one thing: columnists do still have power."

 

[Firky]

The only resemblance her work has to Steve Bell is the aesthetics that have a cartoonish feel to it. She lacks the panache, depth and insight that Steve Bell does. There's something quite middle of the road about it and safe as though she doesn't want upset the apple cart and alienate her intended customer (I hesitate not to use the word audience). She is the rebel sell not the rebel yell which is what American counter-culture is built on.

I think she'll get better as she gets older. I'd buy something of hers as an investment for the future but not something to keep.

Oh yes, I totally agree with you on the first point; just meant the aesthetics are similar. None of the content. Not sure about your second point.

 

[butchersapron]

Steve Bell demonstrating his panache, depth and insight:

 

[Firky]

I like her work enough to want to like it more if that makes sense. She also has more self awareness than her mate, which isn't that difficult. She just got in with the wrong crowd

 

[tenniselbow]

Good retort, butchers! That is ugly. Really ugly.

 

[tenniselbow]

The most surprising thing about that Bell cartoon is that he spelt paedophile correctly.
