BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME...

...first up all apologies. i have OD'ed on youtube posts, and i hate shit that gets played out, but i came across this and had to post it....
this is more a musing, a transcription of sorts of some thoughts....fucking hell. For those into this strange street/outcast / modern pop art scene (or whatever pointless label you want to use) you gotta admit, 2006 was a turning point in this thing becoming either the mainstream or simply on the road to fulfilling its potential. The reason behind this is not because we have suddenly got good or better, the quality of the art (the most important thing) has always been there,no what im talking about is two events....1 - banksy in la and now 2 - the wooster show in NYC.
why woosters paint session? check out this video....
now thats a queue.its crazy. i've heard reports of people getting there to queue at 11 am and not getting in until before 5pm! madness, ture, but its not a stand alone incident.In London the latest Santas ghetto had its big queue...this is not a rant or criticism, and i wont stand on the 'keep it underground' bullshit soapbox like most graf heads believe, no this merely an observation of how popular our art is getting. With what must be record interest in 2006 (far beyond what some predicted, it being a fad), and now record prices for Banksy, its interesting to see what 2007 will bring...
i dont know what the point of this post is, i havent concluded anything, i just wanted to say, in a roundabout review of the year, that 2006 has been interesting, and this video is the cherry on the cake, and 2007 cant come soon enough!!!

oh and by the way, congratulations to marc & Sara
