I haven't, but some close friends have. they've described it just how I'd imagine it.. full of fantastic work, tastefuly. crazy is, I heard it used to retail for 100$..

I bet someone on SZ has it.

I don't have a pic but I just found out about this guy. Don't know how I never heard of him. Pretty awesome.

I saw some work from this guy and now I can't remember his name...I wonder if anyone knows....he's an artist, if you want to call him that, that puts some sort of surface on the floor, covered in paint, and has these guys on motorcycles come in and do tricks and whatnot all over the surface, creating his art. I am pretty sure he is from NYC.

When I have free time I explore the grand russian woodland, searching for great talents. I wish I knew the author of this:

yes, I read about it. It's ridiculous. this was the photo that started all the fuss, it's far from offensive imo.

[Mail-Moth]

I don't see why. Unless we're talking about copyright and that sort of things, that is.

I didn't know this photographer, thank you. I can easily understand why his work appears so shocking to so many people.

For me this photograph is far more disturbing that the previous one :



But well, I have a knack for disturbing things. It reinforces my ethics.

[black horizons]

Sure it's ridiculous, but I don't think that you should've posted that here...

That's DUMB.

Why? Isn't this a place with more open minded people? Isn't this the the appropriate thread to share art?

Mail-Moth is right.

ok, I removed the img tags - so whoever wants to look may. only a "sick" person would consider that photo child pornography.
