In 2011, all communication in the world will take place via Myspace. The human genoform has mutated ... adapted to it's new habitat. The limbs have atrophied, the vocal chords withered to a thread. We are pale, limbless invertebrates, approaching pure concept. Rupert Murdoch has become an immortal god figure, a vast, planet-sized flatulent hairy brain hanging in the immeasurable nothingness of media space. We will reproduce digitally, via friends requests. Women will have evolved into inflated arsecheeks with a USB port to market them. Googleflops of bad bands swarm around the Murdochoform, absorbing genetically modified opinions like flies around freshly-laid dog shit ... but there is no more dog shit. Dogs have become nothing more than a concept - they only exist as a text string in a list of "interests". In fact, nothing exists anymore. Life has become a low-resolution jpg and you don't belong to you : copyright of your existence, your every thought pattern and consequence, was signed away at the point of your conception. You are just an idea. A bad idea. An unoriginal thought transcribed in plain text format........... Someone draw this for me. I can't be arsed.

About me:
CLICK TO VIEW NEW SHOK-1 WEBSITE >>
Widely regarded as one of the best graffiti artists worldwide, SHOK-1 comes to contemporary art with much to offer.
Refused a formal training in art in 1983 due to rebelliousness, he is an entirely self-taught artist of great imagination, diversity and technical ability.
His iconic characters and re-imagining of the classic graffiti letter as monstrous living depictions of the ego are just two elements of a subversive and often darkly satirical body of work.
SHOK-1 has exhibited on London's prestigious Cork Street and has just set up a silkscreen press. He is currently oilpainting with a simple marker pen normally used for vandalism.
