SunraA Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 these guys are good. well alot better than when he first came to Melbs thats for sure. Just a bit ODD that his (ASKEW) style changes everytime he hangs with a diff writer. we're not sure if thats BITING or hes just easily influenced.............................................................................

SunraA Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 ..........yeah looks very much like they studies the SCIEN & KLOR style pretty hard to reproduce that one. Even the Webs has got SCIEN all over it. Like i said, this guy does really nice stuff, but really hes just another DOPE painter who just jocks whoever hes chillin with....... not a diss just pretty dam obvious..............................thats all.

Anon Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 You seem quite cynical about Askew's work- Who do you see in that Askew piece? You have to say that its pretty much inovative and original (I haven't seen any reproductions of that style of yet.) And hey- you cant knock Webs, his shit is locked...

SunraA Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 SCIEN and KLOR 123KLAN. They're art and grafik design has been all over print publications in recent times. check out their website and i think you will agree - the whole look and feel of the above is theres. STRAIGHT UP. you can bite it but can't deny it! WEBS is a real nice peice but again -have a look at the 123KLAN webiste and you will see what we are all talking about. You gotta understand - we saw what askew was like when he first came to melbourne - he was on Loomits and puzles jock hard then jumped onto everyone else that he brought to NZ.... AND before you think we're having a go at him- we're not - hes probs the best bwriter to come out of NZ and hes def got nice art skills. We're just commenting on his borrowed styles and thats shit wouldn't be accepted here thats all. http://www.123klan.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Askew SUK Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Interesting...It's funny you think that Scien and klor are my influence here because that couldn't be further from the truth...At the same time I can respect your comparrison and can read the positive in with the negative in your post. I would actually like to get my take on this across too as I dont think you're totally correct in everything you've said. I've been painting for 10 years, but I'm young..I would honestly say that I agree that heaps of my earlier work was obviously influenced and I also had the great honour of working directly with many of the artists I most looked up to on many occaisons. All that aside, I just travelled to Europe recently and really discussed my direction with a lot of my mentors there..It was disheartening and inspiring at the same time..It made me question my direction thus far and re-assess my new direction... The thing is, I've been working in Graphic design etc for about 6 years and survive off painting work and freelance design..Pretty much every Hip Hop Flyer in Auckland and more recently album artwork is done by me...I really feel that I am a graphic designer that uses paint as my medium..So now my work reflects that.. I like muted colours..I like Type and Also use predominatly roller paints and brush for my walls now..Mainly because another factor people don't consider when they look at our work here in nZ is that we are one of the most Isolated countries in the world, making good paints relatively innaccessable and expensive..Also we have a very early history but no consistant role models and history...Until we saw Hype Magazine and the internet, basically we still only knew Subay art..thats even in the mid 90's... Inventions I feel I have rightly made in the 3D technique are: The Mutiple casings and hollow letters...I still haven't seen anybody do this but me...Also the new graphic version of my 3d pieces still keeps this tradition..Plus my actual letter forms have evolved slowly over the years from my plain silver letter style..The same shapes but evolved over time. I respect that you have made a fairly informed analysis but in reality, there is more to the story. Of course if you are saying that I am more of a technician than an inventor, I would probably agree that my strengths are more in that department..Cos I have moved fluidly between simple styles, throwups, tags, wild styles, comic style characters, photo realism, whole wall work, illustration, design etc.... Artists that need more recognition for pushing Graffiti into new directions: maclaim Crew www.maclaim.de ECB www.guerillagraphics.de (A true inovator of graphic style who never uses a computer to design his work) wow123 www.artcrimes/badwow123.htm Also the Kaos Design guys from Style File mag are fuckin amazing...

SunraA Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 That IS refreshing to read. makes me look at your art a little differently now having some background on it all. BUMPITYBUMP for takin the time to explain where you are at and where you are comeing from. maybe it is a big conincindence with the SCIEN and KLOR grafik design elements in your latest wall above. you would have to agree if you checked out their site for the similarities in edging and shapes though. Maybe its a grafik designers style or a style circulating in grafik design circles or maybe im drinkinmg way too much burben and Yeah BUMP BUMP for that guy WOW thats for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To explain what I was actually trying to achieve with my hollow casings was this: If you turned a simple or wild piece into a 3D piece and then shifted all the elements around for effect..ie; If the out line and fill were two diffrent elements that could be pulled apart and even shifted at times to cut through each other..I've had this called "Cookie Cutters" by many people...I dunno if I've exactly achieved what I'm going for but yeah...That was the idea behind it... Anyway, cheers for the dialogue.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, cheers for the dialogue.. happy to be conversing with you for real. im understanding more and more about it so thats a gtood thing even if im pissed as a fart right now. um kasino yeah he didn't invent the hollow letters he got that from a new york writer and built on it. he said that in a interview he did. i think wane cod or sent / noah tfp. im surprised to hear you are friends with dmote very surprised he was here recently in the shop talking lets just quite negatively about you being in his crew SUK and must be open season if they are letting everyone in but then he talks alot of shit. we're waiting for him to openly admit PARIS DMA taught him everything he know but lets not get into that guy and keep it positive keep going strong mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
