I would like to talk to this at some point with reference to Andrew Sarris and his ideas about it (I like them). Not tonight, going into town.

At last some art from my friend Pietro, an excellent Italiano graffiti artist who tags as Bol23. I love his work, and feel I should say more, but for now, just enjoy. This one is called sex symbol...mmmmm
This is the guy who speaks to moi with his eyes, isn't he handsome?
Janaki Lennie
Check out the website below for Janaki Lennie. Janaki is an artist from Houston, Texas, preparing to move to Newfoundland. See what you make of her work, I think these images are slightly eerie, but quite captivating. Might be a good subject for a post, El ? Axasha?

"If on a winter's night a traveler," By italo calvino
Placing this image as a visual representation of two inserted chapters in calvino's book. The text would read, "In a network of lines that enlace," Seeing nothing, "In a network of lines that intersect . . ." The numbered chapter is 7.5 and illustrates the sense of textual frustration the reader faces with unresolved stories.

Robbie Lofthouse
I have admired Robbie's work for a while now. It is, I have to say, kind of outlandish, but then it is psychedelic art. There is, as you can see, a link where you can go and trip out and enjoy these masterpieces yourself without anyone holding your hand!

Freegans
Freeganism
Freegans operate an alternative lifestyle targetted at limited participation in the capitalist economy. They believe that the present economic system sacrifices humanity, the animal kingdom and the planet itself in its blind greed compulsion of making money.
Any thoughts furry komrades, please post.

Adam Walsh
This is a great example of Adam Walsh's work. The image is stark, gritty and challenging. The subject has, what I think is, a wonderful punk attitude - delicately portayed in profile- against a backdrop of derelict property. Perhaps she is dancing in slow motion to The Clash's Rock The Casbah.
Taken in 2003 by the London based photographer it is nevertheless and disturbingly 70's chic.
Like all of Adam Walsh's photography is has a distinct cutting edge to it. Check out Adam's website. It is my hope to interview this guy at some point. In the meantime enjoy fur covered creatures.

Strange Colours
Strange Colours
Anyone who knows me well, will also know that I love the idea of defiant freedom. Like surfers, respecting, though willing to take up the challenge of high winds and stormy seas, or climbers, battling against the destructive forces of gravity, both sets make up their own rules and reality as they proceed and develop. Every wave, like every mountain, like every mountain route is different.
I remember walking in the hills around Arca, in northern Italy and being absolutely transfixed by the climbers clinging to rock, as I walked to the top. I took photographs, but it never really captured the moment. Some even waved and posed for the camera from their lofty positions.
To me, graffiti artists join this band showing their defiant freedom to the world. In the same way as the climbers and surfers, seem, to me, to manage impossible things, graffiti artists are replying to the world, 'Who says?' I kind of like that. For those of you who have read 'Late' part two, there is a section in there on defiant freedom.
Note - I have said graffiti artists as distinct from those without artistic purpose. My definition of 'graffiti artist' is a talented, albeit disaffected' person who operates outside the inner sanctum of supposedly 'respected art'. I could write an essay on this, suffice to say at this point, enjoy Andrea Style One - below - another Italian graffiti Star like Pietro. And, think as you walk around your cities about all the destructive, and extremely artistic, advertising that surrounds you. Think about ads for such things as alcohol, gambling and fast food and think about the unquestioned legitmacy of these ads and how many lives have been damaged by them?
Feel free to comment.
