Default THE EVIL DR. REVOLT - Now at www.dirtypilot.com


DR. REVOLT - Now showing Paintings, Drawings new and from the day.

Check it out Here http://www.dirtypilot.com/show1-1.html

BornBorn and raised in New York City, with graffiti roots in the early 70’s, REVOLT is an original member of the historic NYC subway graffiti crew, The Rolling Thunder Writers (RTW). Known for his ultra-colorful tags and elaborate pieces on the Broadway #1 line, with heavily influenced psychedelic and comic art stylings, and later, taking it “all-city”. With contributions to the seminal classic hip-hop films, “Wild Style and “Style Wars”, his participation in the 80’s East Village art gallery scene, various music videos and, album covers, animation, comics, vinyl toy design, and creating the classic “YO! MTV Raps’ logo. His early 80’s tour of duty in the city of Baltimore is legendary, where he, like a “Messenger of Style”, singlehandedly kick-started a graffiti scene there that still feels his influence today.

His place in the history of “graff-dom” is set.

His work has been seen in various publications and art galleries globally. Recent collaborations and conspiracies include: Roger Waters’ Live Earth show, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, VH-1, Scion Installation, Swindle Magazine, Illmatic, ChocolateBar, Kid Robot, Dickies, The Stussy World Tour, E.S.P. The Tri-CoastalGraffiti Show, Juxtapoz, Sony Music, Graffiti: Spirit of an Age @ 40 × 10, Bethel Center For New Media Arts, Le TAG au Grand Palais, The Draw Show, Definition: The Art and Design of Hip-Hop, Nimbus Vapor, Back to the Fun Gallery @ Meltdown, NYC Black Book Masters, and Zune Arts.

Default MEAR ONE - Now at www.dirtypilot.com




http://www.dirtypilot.com presents a series of 7 "Mono Distortions" by MEAR ONE. These fantastic images will be showing now through April 11 at DirtyPilot in the pilots Lounge.

http://www.dirtypilot.com/lounge.html

There are artists who paint with the intention to be the best, or to make a ton of money, some to become famous, but MEAR questions the intention of each of his individual works, asking is this a worthy concept; and what is the outcome of such a work that speaks to the masses. This is an involved process in which MEARs hopes are to bridge a gap between what is common and that which isnt. To raise a responsible conversation on the topic that is displayed, i.e. the painting. MEARs works are meant to bring the unseen mysteries locked with in our minds to the foreground as if to take part in a grand expose`. The question of how did we become, and why. To see through the illusion of our decrepit social condition and speak out with art as a weapon of mass liberation.

Default DirtyPilot.com Presents: ALBERT REYES, MATT FURIE & AIYANA UDESEN



http://www.dirtypilot.com is stoked to announce a collaborative exhibition from Future Colors of America. Founders, artists and friends Albert Reyes, Matt Furie, and Aiyana Udesen put together a kick ass show featuring a new body of collaborative work that will blow you away. Now Thru March 11.

Albert Reyes is a Los Angeles-based San Francisco Art Institute graduate who has developed a style equally influenced by graffiti, comics, and fine art. Among other media, he draws and prints on the inside covers of old books and mixes traditional Mexican imagery, popular culture icons, and political suggestion.

Aiyana Udesen went to school at the San Francisco Art Institute with Reyes, and lives in San Francisco, where she gained attention for her "how-to-draw" series of zines, many of which have married her interests in celebrities, animals, and realistic-yet-stylish illustration.

Matt Furie, a San Francisco-based artist whose richly detailed, hyper colored illustrations and paintings reflect the creative cross breeding of The Neverending Story, unrestrained imagination of The Muppet Show, and humor of ALF. His corruption by popular culture is further complicated, or perhaps enriched by the energy of BMX culture and anarchy of street art.

Default DirtyPilot.com Presents: TC5 STYLE HISTORY MONTH



February is TC5 "Style History Month" here at DIRTYPILOT http://www.dirtypilot.com/lounge.html.
We hate to name drop, but check out work by Sye, Doc, Web, Keo, Dontay, Abby, Wane, Doves,Totem, Cycle, Dezo and Wiggles. New York, during the mid-1980's, was an amazing time for graffiti writers. Trains were crushed, styles were poppin, and TC-5 was one of the main crews at the forefront of the thriving graffiti scene.

The crew's roots originate in the early 1970's. With an impressive roster consisting of BLADE, DEATH, VAMM, TULL 13, CRACHEE, and later AJAX, COMET, SILVER TIPS, and MAZE. In the earlier days of graffiti, most writer's wrote for a few years then moved on. COMET and BLADE weren't the average writers though, and crushed NYC Transit through the late 70's into the early 80's.

After most original members of The Crazy 5 had retired, in a somewhat controversial move at the time, COMET granted presidency of TC-5 to a writer from the Bronx named SEEN (or as some called him, L'il SEEN). SEEN reshaped the crew with some of the freshest writers of his generation such as BEAM, JUICE, DOZE, DOC, LADY PINK. TC-5 rocked the number and letter lines hard with some of the freshest cars pulled out on the NYC Subway system, and has continued to push the boundaries of contemporary letter and character styles over the past 25 years.

Know the history, respect the style. Now thu March 12, 2010.

Default DirtyPilot.com Presents: DAVE MACDOWELL - "MiseryLand"



http://www.dirtypilot.com Presents: Dave MacDowell. Check Dave's collection of new paintings titled "MiseryLand" . Now thru Feb 10. David MacDowell was raised by a television set, and soaked in culture like a sponge. A self-taught artist, he incorporates media and social themes into brilliant and controversial satirical paintings. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, David is not afraid of tapping into the dark side of American media worship. He tops off celebrity renderings with crying babies, candy colored nightmares, and a hilariously acidic sense of humor. Some have called his work a virtual “Disneyland on acid”. By bravely peeling away the veneer of pop culture, he validates the abused underbelly of society with x-ray glasses. With an ever-expanding list of international clientele, David’s work can be found in Atlanta, California, Florida and New York and now DirtyPilot.com.

well, it goes without saying that to build a community you not only have to get visitors to arrive and sign up , you also need engaging content and conversations that can be joined in with !

now , i dont really know what can be done here , there was a time when a core of people was engaging with the forum ... but now .. hmmmmm ..

you could change tact and go back to rss ! at least then there was daily content to find !
make it the best damn rss feed collection point ...

or try and revive the community .. choice is yours FPR ..

LMFAO !!!!!

1/ if you suspect your house may be highlighted for a 'graffiti attack' why not cover it in vaseline.. when the attack happens the vaseline will easily scrape off the wall and can be collected in jars as 'evidence' against the perpetrator .

2/ spend as much of your free time as possible loitering in an alleyway near your house ,have a picnic or barbecue there , encourage your children and/or grandparents to use these areas as much as possible . This will help deter possible vandalism attacks.

3/ if you are experiencing an 'attack' stay calm , try not to breathe the fumes, move slowly and steadily backwards away from the general area, if the 'attack' gets too close , makes yourself as big as possible (hold out your coat , raise your arms, stand with legs well apart) and roar/shout in the direction of the 'attacker' . If all else fails , fall to the ground and make yourself as small as possible , curl up like a foetus, and try not to cry or make any sound. It will all be over quickly one way or the other.

4/ it is believed that tagging occurs in the early morning ... though we cannot say with certitude that this is a fact .

lastly, remember , these attacks can happen at any time , and are not rare , to be a valid and useful member of society it is recommended you rest/sleep as little as possible , spend as long as you can by your window vigilantly scanning your general area for any signs/sounds of 'paint being used in an antisocial manner' . Remember 'illegally applied paint can spill' .

Default Ways to Combat Graffiti

This is an actual list of guidelines published by the Richmond City Police.
Feel free to add your own as I'm going to compile my own list of suggestions to distribute around the neighborhood.

1) Spray Paint can rattles – It’s a very distinct metallic rattle sound that is created when a person shakes a spray paint can. Small metal or plastic “peas” are added to spray paint cans to help mix the paint during the shaking process. If this sound is heard, especially in the alleys, please call us so we can investigate. ”Taggers” are they are often called carry their cans in backpacks which you might be able to hear “clanking” as they are walking down the alley or street.

2) If you see anyone stopping intermittently in the alleys for unknown reasons. This may be a sign they are walking, stopping, spray painting, and then moving on to their next target.

3) If you see anyone hiding/ducking from passing vehicles and then returning to a particular area this may be a sign they are tagging a building or vehicle (or breaking into vehicles). A “tagger” may also have his face partially covered and using a second person as a lookout.

4) It is believed that graffiti tagging occurs in the early morning hours.

The best way to gaintraffic is to cause controversy, make people people go mad from what you say, ban people, talk shit, then people email each other, post links to your forum in outrage and at the same time talk to yourself with multiple accounts until the kindling it lit. People fool for it all the time on the darkside. However all of this is ok if you dont mind being duplicitous and have nothing of substance in the real world of which you can lose from behaving in this way.

Otherwise its the long game where you just concentrate on making a nice space and slowly upgrading the place when you can afford and develop links with good people as and when they arise. Which is the road i think is best aucsab takes for me.
that seems to me to be a prett good amount of footfall/traffic whatever the term is !

Definitely agree about avoiding the shallow soulless tactics employed on the darkside ! controversy and shit stirring for the sake of it !

Well , the long winding road it is then ! .. encourage links with quality blogs and sites , quality posts .. i support that 100%

Default We need your help.

We think this web site is prety cool and hope you do too. However we are rubbish at self promotion. If you know anyway you can help more people know about this place, please help.

For your info this web site's main disorganiser (fpr aka moi) is a full time skint charity worker and organiser of the not-for-profit Urban Art awards 2008 and the Street Art Awards 2009. i'm also one of the many friendly crazy's that help make the Mutate Britain shows happen.

The rest of the aucab peeps are a bunch of online friends who help moderate, design and update the website from time to time.

If you think you can help make this place more special or have an idea as to how we could colaborate with other quirky art outposts, then kindly shout out.

Default How to do everything ...

Most of the help you will need to manage your way around this forum is in the FAQ section. There is a button for this on the top bar, also here is a link ..

http://www.auctionsaboteur.co.uk/forum/faq.php

Personally i find the best way uploading photo's is by using photobucket.com. This is a free web site that allows you to upload images and it will give you an 'IMI' code which you then paste into your posts. However the forum does have its own direct upload method also.

To upload youtube video's all you do is copy the last bit of the URL code and paste it, then select it and press the youtube button so this ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs9MFG1OqH0

becomes this ...

bs9MFG1OqH0

Then this ...



You can also do this for google video by pressing the button to the left of the youtube button and do this for a vimeo video by pressing the button to the right. Video's are actually really easy to post up on aucsab.

I gotta agree that FaceBook and Twitter can be very useful tools for the subculture .Helping to organise movements , co-ordinate protests and provide an information stream ,for example, all invaluable.
It is a shame that ultimately the control and ability to pull the plug on these sites is inthe hands of the elite. I have no doubt given the right circumstances facebook and twitter could be used as evidence in court against its user (if arrested for organising a protest for example! also wouldnt be suprised if law enforcement monitor accounts they are 'interested in' ! but as FPR says , all activity on the internet (as well as telephones) is monitored at one level or another ! )
So ,its pros and cons i suppose !

Very surprised you go anywhere near it or that twitter thing considering your counter culture awareness.
I love social networking. Its incredibly useful, I dont know where i would be without facebook. Like all technology you need to be careful how you use it and chosing privacy settings so only people you chose can see your information is the way to play facebook. People always fear new technology and some are very slow to adopt it. We needed a one legged man to convince us that escalators could be safe, most people declared that they would never use a mobile phone. Fearing the ability for your friends to have their own online space to talk seems like an irrational fear to me. Also I would imagine that the CIA can read all emails and everything you do online. If I had a big secret to keep, i wouldn't write it down anywhere.

Also real time search engines that facebook and twitter provide offer huge power to small groups to organise against systems which previously seemed unstoppable.

Believe me, social networking is no friend of the status quo, its probably the most important tool for social change we have had since the printing press.

Remember that you can also try messaging the sellers and see if they will accept an offer if you think that their price is too high. Good to see another face around, welcome.

If you havent checked out the main bit of the site yet press the flag logo at the top and it will take you to the whole free to use saboteur peer to peer secondary market.

Happy New Year to all.

Re the above it is actually banksysforum as opposed to banksyforum.

Ps. on info (on which I am still banned) there was a MrTibb's who was a great mischievous rascal who is now showing as a guest. I raise my glass to you MrTibb's as you were a breath of fresh air..

It will take a year or two, but his strength lies in banksy searches. I'll continue to put info on, but need hits and community. Would be great if you could all post something there.

If nothing else it will slow his sign ups down.
Lovely idea, will try to post something when i have time. Thats art in itself. Out of interst how did you manage to get the banksyforum.com name? I thought that was owned by smeagle ?

To answer your question, i do live in hicksville. Also known as Richmond, Virginia. If you are ever in the area, do something destructive on my behalf please...

haha .. yeah , it was done back in the day ! vintage crack that is !

yeah , it must be terrible to see all the early (not very good) pieces returning to the surface.. but , everybody has a learning curve , i think you gotta accept that early work , or crap work , is still your work , and has a place in the artists history !

I spoke recently to a bristol artist , who very wisely told me , i dont want to release anything that i wouldnt want to see again on my deathbed !

nice one
