someone: Re: Taipei 101 i really want to go there

in response to Taipei 101

dignity: i made the dignity crew one. thanks! neeto!

in response to Soho Paste-Ups: NYC

jeeff: i didn't say it myself, just asked your opinion. i think all of the cities you list have a variety of well-known attractions, but i don't know any for hong kong. several of my friends from tokyo visited hong kong (either on vacation or seeing family) and they said that...

in response to Walking

Lunarworks: that would be me. im jacob. hi.

in response to musty old truck

Peter: heh, we got that cookbook as a wedding gift. most of hte recipes are totally pukka, mate. also: we got jamie oliver dishes, heh. good style, to say the least.

in response to Giant Rat Destroys Liverpool

Stressed: oh come on, one could say that about any town. beijing, sao paulo, san francisco, toronto, new york, montreal, paris, london.

in response to Walking

jeeff: yeah, this thread is really enlightening (unintentionally of course). it reminds me of a schoolyard grudge in elementary school. it's like a couple of schoolyard gangs have somehow managed to gain control of a land.

in response to Shankill Road: Belfast

anon educated bystander: this thread amazes me. what amazes me most is the blatant lack of education that seems apparent in northern ireland. this no doubt is the root cause of most of your division.

in response to Shankill Road: Belfast

anon protestant: Re: Shankhill Road taigs are all rebel ball lickin scum bags who need shot and drove out of northern ireland go back down south where you's all belong. Up the Uda. Keep er lit !!! priests molesters any bit of wonders all da wee lads are benders !!!

in response to Shankill Road: Belfast

jeeff: i've heard that the only thing to do in hong kong is shop. is this true?

in response to Walking

hasslehoff: wow, there's some food for thought. just think. pleasing architecture, stylized then re-applied to the facades of more mundane structures via the medium of spraycan science.

in response to More of the Gherkin Building

hasslehoff: ok, but can we keep the mechanically reclaimed meat?

in response to Fisherman\'s Wharf and the Full House Houses

jeeff: hahaha, there must be a god. are you the owner of lunarworks.ca?

in response to musty old truck

reworked: wanna hit this up on a wall now

in response to More of the Gherkin Building

Jamie: and here's a photo of the banksy piece in Jamie Oliver's book

in response to Giant Rat Destroys Liverpool

Peter: thts wildstyle graffiti- designed into a building- right there.

in response to More of the Gherkin Building

nate: Re: Fisherman's Wharf and the Full House Houses Sorry all that you get are boneless chicken wings, chosen sex children, and an ex-Nazi for a Pope.

in response to Fisherman\'s Wharf and the Full House Houses

hasslehoff: and where's my dam flux-capacitor?

in response to Fisherman\'s Wharf and the Full House Houses

hasslehoff: abstract to the max

in response to More of the Gherkin Building

hasslehoff: what an interesting mural. the missing parts leave much to the imagination, making it most thought-provoking. the more one studies its subject the more one is drawn into wonderment.

in response to musty old truck

Peter: then wheres my hovercar?! my wetware? why am i still stuck in the meat?

in response to Fisherman\'s Wharf and the Full House Houses

nate: Re: Fisherman's Wharf and the Full House Houses To paraphrase Mike Ladd-We live in an era that can now safely be called Neo-Futurism. Science fiction and reality are indistinguishable from one another.

in response to Fisherman\'s Wharf and the Full House Houses

Peter: oh wow... damn. those are some good sites.

in response to Ground Zero: lower Manhattan as it looks today

Peter: most graf writers spend little to nothing on paint, you know ;)

in response to SoCal Flicks

Peter: ahh, futureshock. simcity boxes getting planted and dozed. gentrification. marc, not only was this post really well-written, but i find that we share very similar philosophies on many heated topics. im glad youre here.

in response to Fisherman\'s Wharf and the Full House Houses

Peter: cool! wasnt there some backstory about how some guy asked if he could paint em up? I thought that was really interesting... thanks for reposting. sorry about the loss, but it shouldnt happen again.

in response to graffiti trailer

Peter: heh! I gotta admit, seeing really crappy graf is often as entertaining (if not moreso) than seeing really amazing (but increasingly hackneyed) wildstyles, executed by true artists. I'm sure it sucks to have to see it in your town, but its amusing to see it on here, at least :)

in response to PDX graffiti like ummm...

Peter: more bench-love here...

in response to Benches I Have Known and Loved

Peter: more benches here...

in response to Where I Find My Heaven

Peter: heh. there are plenty of stores like that around nyc... on the avenue near where i live, theres a bodega (corner-store) that has had rotting cassavas and squashes in their window for several weeks... yet they still do brisk sales in groceries.

in response to internet shopping

Jamie: Yeah i think that's a banksy too. This bridge is gone now I'm . It's part of the development of the area behind what was Shoreditch Library into flats.

in response to Giant Rat Destroys Liverpool

hasslehoff: I never saw this until now. I like the way the new 'recently viewed' sidebar throws up random stuff. Just when I think i've seen every article ever posted here, something new pops up like a meerkat scouting for danger on a baking hot summers day. The sort of day...

in response to Ski UFO

fuzzytank: aww the pens hit each line, ive tried plenty of digital processes.s..s but the nuances of the line are not the same. when you have a formula generating the radius of your curves due to tangents of who know what it interperted... yes it might look similar, but my personal rules...

in response to sub-urban tag #13

Jamie: Heh, i work in a secondary school. Because of Jamie Oliver they've taken away all the vending machines!

in response to Giant Rat Destroys Liverpool

elaine: Did he do 'drive carefully in our vilaage' in Hoxton? sounds like his sense of humour. Jamie Oliver can do anything he likes now in my opinion after blowing the lid on the UK child malnutrition scandal. First world country feeds it's kids worse than food aid standard? lovely jubbly!

in response to Giant Rat Destroys Liverpool

elaine: Re: An Alley in the 900 Block of Linden Thanks, I think! (still embarrassed)

in response to An Alley in the 900 Block of Linden

elaine: what ws truly vile here was after a million years of tory rule we did get a labour government and of course people felt relieved for a bit which was nice, and there are still good things about UK but bloody hell didn't Blair just become such a good...

in response to Fisherman\'s Wharf and the Full House Houses

Editor: Here is a link to elaine's Hideoms article.

in response to Beat-up Derelict Buildings in my Neighbourhood

elaine: Re: Moscow I like these pylons, in an ideal world they could be friends with Ian's wind turbines

in response to Moscow

Glenn: i live in lisnaskea and this is true....it is a dump...but who reallly cares? we have better things to be at!

in response to Beat-up Derelict Buildings in my Neighbourhood

elaine: Re: tokyo waterways (the arteries) It's so beautiful and melancholy. I had no idea. Saves me ever having to go back to venice, this has th water mojo and the modern and the foreign. It looks right up my waterway

in response to tokyo waterways (the arteries)

Jamie: he the man

in response to tokyo waterways (the arteries)

pandora: a thought entered my mind. how much money do you regularly spend on paint?

in response to SoCal Flicks

elaine: Re: the SUV filter. I applaud this device, is there an online shop I can get one at? That lady will have a crick in her neck when she wakes up, and I'm feeling her sciatic cramp, but maybe she is very young and drunk and maybe she does loads...

in response to the SUV filter

elaine: Re: I just started bike riding again recently when my car died and just before my back did. I am getting to the stage where I gingerly get on it for short goes again now. I totally love it, it's an english folding make, a Bonnington, in a beautiful VW...

in response to I just started bike riding

elaine: BTW I take it you used 'real' marker pen here, did you ever use a programme called painter? it is very unpopular partly because it was never owned by adobe or macromedia, and partly because it is appallingly badly designed. However, it is really scribbly and painty, way beyond anything...

in response to sub-urban tag #13

fuzzytank: durn another one i missed... the new ones keep slippin by afore i get to read them all ;)

in response to Graf Trainz 1: South-East London

Marc: man i didnt learn to bike ride til i was 10 and my first memory of it was going down a hill and instead of turning into my driveway like i shouldve, i just kept going, fell off the seat onto the fenderless back tire and made my balls very...

in response to I just started bike riding

fuzzytank: hehe awesome, I hope you donated a bit o change for creativity!

in response to Ninjas Killed My Family - Need Money for Kung-Fu Lessons

elaine: hee hee hee! sorry, was that too hideous a picture I painted for you ?

in response to sub-urban tag #13

elaine: it was because I was looking for info about banksy's exploits in NY putting up the paintings in the galleries recently that I found this site

in response to Justice Monument, Clerkenwell Green

elaine: I have a friend who is from the now fictional country of East Germany and I encourage her to go to John Lewises if she is feeling homesick. It is the only shop in the 'free west' that I know of where you can point at goods and say 'can...

in response to Mayday Fun

Marc: oh man from this side of the atlantic banksy seems like a dope foke hero!! keep the pics coming..

in response to Justice Monument, Clerkenwell Green

fuzzytank: ah hahah nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! i swear that will never happen ;) if it does i will leave to you in my last will all the drawings i havent given away and you can catergorize my downfall thorugh imagery. would make a lovely lil book...

in response to sub-urban tag #13

Marc: local news consists of murders, violence, stuff that keeps u in your house and afraid of your neighbors-- and as media ownership consolidates, there is less and less "local" news- corporations like clearchannel buy up the regional radio stations and just get rid of the news desks entirely.. mostly who's...

in response to Fisherman\'s Wharf and the Full House Houses

elaine: I think that is probably for the best - keep it a bit zen and on the hoof. I watched the derrida docco last night and he had the coolest take on forgiveness - you can only forgive the unforgivable, andything less than unforgivable you can't forgive because it was...

in response to Mr. Chicago

elaine: this is beautiful. very painterly. I see you have resorted to a rustic palette. this is what happens. you will be wearing green wellington boots and an oilskin jacket and plaid shirts and carrying binoculars and knowing the difference between birdcries next

in response to sub-urban tag #13

elaine: Fab piece. I have, as you can imagine a real problem with America, so can only relate to Americans who are politicised. It is said that 5% of US citizens have a passport, of which most of those are coastal and washington residents. so I guess it breaks down to...

in response to Fisherman\'s Wharf and the Full House Houses

Marc: great writing, really fascinating pics-- reminds me of the watts towers in los angeles, made by one guy over 20 years out of rebar and concrete- he used the nearby railroad track to bend the rebar. Simon Rodia, the italian immigrant who made watts towers, completed it in his lifetime,...

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

anon: Re: Shoes I pass by those shoes almost everyday when I walk home from the library. It's lovely to see them immortalized like this.

in response to Shoes

Marc: hool, i'm blown away- the black n white pics remind me of seeing godspeed you! black emperor live, the filmwork that they play behind them-- the moody music accenting the video of clouds gathering darkly around evil tall buildings..

in response to clouds like hair like clouds the body building ground

Marc: looks like steely dan tower!!!

in response to The Gherkin

Marc: yo john and debra at cryptome.org/cartome.org have some dope pics- these are amazing sites, especially the eyeballing series where they take satellite photos of buildings like fort knox, classified military installations, etc and describe the structures from their perspective- they are both architects and dyed in the wool red socialists...

in response to Ground Zero: lower Manhattan as it looks today

Marc: london is a great vacation getaway on mayday- always sunny, always hilarious. when i was there in 2001 I got trapped up in oxford circus in front of John Lewis with a fuckload of other people for many hours. no toilets so we used the ATMs.
