So you're saying you're a location?

No, thats not what I am saying. The blue plaques give information about the place they are located.

Word !

How the fuck did a one year old artfag get to do a collab with Adidas anyway ?

Aaaaaah, thats not a very nice thing to say.

[DasBill]

Yeah but thats as close to a compliment you'll ever get from Mr P.

Fair enough i can see the point of the plaques in london, but why on a shoe?

[mr.pure]

I thought it was a generally accepted term to describe people that do stencils and shit.

He's hoping he'll become famous and end up with a blue plaque.
It's a form of bravado.

[Pochoir]

Well the shoe is the London shoe and the plaque is a London icon, the other artists/shoes in the series are from different cities.

[Old Gregg]

If they didn't have that stupid blue circle they would be nice, but they do so therefore they're shit

[DasBill]

Maybe there are better icons of the city than a blue plaque.

[Pochoir]

Like?

[streak]

there are many icons of London..

[Samo]

Shame London doesn't have any world famous landmarks or other iconic things like say a brightly coloured bus or something... They would have made good icons...

[GeeBee]

red buses
tubes
black cabs
big ben
tower bridge
post office tower
centre point
stratford fucking station - I don't know.
By the way Blue Plaques aren't just a London thing...

[DasBill]

Eastenders?

Not being from London, i wouldnt know, but the skyline, the underground, buckingham palace, hyde park, red buses, black cabs, the west end are all things i recognise as being part of London.

If i came up with a superstar with a liverbird on it, im sure the vast majority would know where its from.

Dot Cotton supes - now there's a collab !

In fact Dot Cotton - lightside / Nick Cotton - darkside.

Nah, just making a point about the very thing you accused me of.

And as for bravado, it does not require a great stretch to use that to describe anyone who writes their name up on walls or for that matter even signs their work. I think if you are proud of your work you should put your name to it.

Have another look at the shoe. It has a London skyline and references the underground.

Must say fair play to you Pochoir for coming on here and discussing your design / inspiration etc.
Been a lot of times when peeps on here would like to say a thing or two to a supe designer. It's a passionate place.
