Nicked!

Submitted by noizyboy on Tuesday, 27 Nov 2007.

The above piece of artwork is part of a series entitled Eye Candy and was skilfully hand painted by resident Wellington artist, Brad Williams aka Slope, and until sometime during the 31st of October, was on display at (best late nite venue nominee) Sandwiches.

On which date it was nicked - during daylight hours - and both the Sandwiches lads and Slope are understandably upset.

So, if you happen to catch sight of this piece of work (approximately 2m x 0.7m, so shouldn't be too hard to see if is in the vicinity) hanging in a flat, for sale on trademe, or under the arm of some shifty-looking charcter on the street, give the cops a call. Cheers.

Yurk. They're better off without that nasty, obvious, poorly-conceived piece of over-sized comic-book panel imitation nonsense.

Sorry Hadyn :))

Evil, Sue? It's not like the maker wouldn't have gotten paid (presumably). And perhaps its for the greater good, you know.. perhaps some avant-garde artist has incorporated it into a performance work which investigates and critiques the notion of "taste" in a post-post-modern way.
