I played guitar in a band for years before I took up djing, I consider neither a skill or talent tbh....

I have been djing on off for years. on radio, bedroom, at parties, whatever and tbh i consider it a talent to be able to pick the right tunes for a good set. jus switched over to digital and having a ball discovering new tricks.

getting a bit off topic there.

banksy is a graffiti artist. graffiti has many mediums, stencilling and wheatpasting as he does is one medium. using spraypaint and bucket paint as grift does is another medium.

but of course some people will say spraypainted work is not art and banksys stuff is..thats ridiculous.

go and google awr/msk and check their spraypainted work out, i cant link now as i am in work..

and just to close, grift afaik, NEVER paints on peoples private property.

Ive been seeing some good graffiti round Dublin recently. I passed Mount merrion school and convent yesterday.On the back gate there was a sign saying 'NO ENTRY to convent' and underneath someone had written 'or pussy'. Made me laugh anyways.

There used to be a standard blue litter bin at the back of Howth Junction DART station, but it was sprayed black and had "Garda complaint box" stencilled in white in the same font as the GARDA on their uniforms/hi-vis jackets.

I thought it was hilarious.

"Art" is probably the worst word that I've ever had to use.

Classic!
I must buy a camera and capture all the graffiti golden moments I see across the capital.Though most of the good stuff is scrubbed of pretty quickly by the fuzz.

Personal abuse ... as in masturbation?

Woah.

Also, 3 pages and nobody has mentioned, "this should be in the Dublin forum" and nobody has posted pictures.

That's self abuse!

Not that I'm an expert or anything...

masturbation is abuse now?!

Since when?

lostexpectation · 08-01-2008 08:15PM

the thing that grift does more so then banksy is getting up to difficult places to paint, thats the impressive part, some taggers do that too, the huge one on the tall building at the old north strand bowling is great, I dont understand what people have an obsession with blanks walls.

people talk about it being illegal most billboards in town don't have planning permission.

Masturbation isn't allowed on this forum either.

And yet drunk posting is? Masturbation posting would be a lot more legible at least.

you're clearly doing it wrong if it is.

Whoa whoa I was merely responding to the previous post!

I don't think much of that asbestos guy. He chopped up a few toy animals and stuck them back together and the dolls head thing is a load of pretentious shite.

He tagged my mates pub. He's an arsehole. So it's not "private" property. My mate still had to clean it off himself.

Lux23 · 09-01-2008 10:39AM

Grift just looks like he is practising his letters all over Dublin. I didn't realise he was taken seriously by anyway.

Take a look at the other stuff on his site...if he is not for you then fair enough but tis worth a look.

im sorry but i find that hard to believe as he goes out of his way to avoid painting peoples private property (considering hes considered a vandal).

maybe he did when he was younger.

and i agree some of the places he (and others) climb to paint are ridiculous. in particular the rooftops around town.

Oh yeah?So when the ego-driven prick is planning to spray paint his name on a wall he checks with the land registry first to make sure it doesnt belong to anybody?He's a clown,he has no talent and seems to think that people want to see his rubbish painted everywhere.He's no better than a scrubber in a tracksuit writing her initials on a bus shelter.

Banksy in Dublin?
