i love the massive divide on this forum.

The older more traditional subrau fans, and then the younger one's that are willing to try something new and different!

But its all good!

Various urban artists etc have had thier work made into the stickers and put together in the books. So there is a ton of variety.



Then as mentioned, just time and effort to make the final result.
That's even worse, you just bought it off the shelf as an act of consumption. If the stickers were somehow acquired independently - told some narrative, story - it would have some integrity as art.

As it is = fail.

The stickers in the books are all by genuine artists, so alot of them do have a story or meaning behind them.

I didnt apply any stickers i didnt like.

I dont see how its an act of consumption, and i dont understand how it offends you so much, that you have to try and be one of the 'old school cool' guys that hates anything that they dont like.

Not that the negative comments effect the final result.

You bought a 'product', and it imitates something more authentic and organic; someone acquiring random stickers piecemeal, over time, and making a piece of art with them.

I know the aesthetic is the same but to me its fake.

What a crock of ****. Others dont like it and have expressed their sentiments in their own 'style', but you have to put some arty spin on it. Who are you, Banksy?

It looks like something my 4 year old did on a box in his bedroom, except he's now 5 and embarrassed by how childish it looks; since when has copying the Americans been cool FFS

File under kack alongside people who "slam" their cars and can't afford tyres wide enough to fit their wheels.

As for a 34 year old skater "dude" who can't spell or string a sentence together

Actually sitting watching X Factor and eating a Chinese would probably represent a far higher level of artistic achievement and integrity...
