so what does the "2008 - " mean then?

2008 was last year, '-' is a dash.

Usually thats the lifespan of the artist, say:

Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies, 1899.
Monet, 1840 -1926

but utterly pointless if the artist in question aint dead

[streak]

well that's what I would of thought.. if that's the case they're not bad for a 1 year old..

[DasBill]

i was fooking awesome when i was a year old! Much better than that
I suppose it could be acceptable if the artist's moniker was created that paricular year.
But all a bit fussy if you ask me, especially if the artist is not even established.

fer example: "Pure 101% 1802 -" makes more sense.

Showing the birth year of the artist is not pointless if the artist is still alive. But it is more commonly expressed as b1982 rather than '1982 - ' I agree. Either way, this is not the case with blue plaques. Have you seen the blue plaques in London? They do not give the lifespan of the resident, just years at the location.

Word !

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

[DasBill]

So you're saying you're a location?
