Adidas TV Commercial - Street Art Hackney

This commercial was shot in Hackney Wick and to be fair Adidas has been shooting commercials in Hackney for years. I remember seeing the worlds top footballers shooting an ad in Hackney Marshes.
Firstly we know what sharks companies of this size really are and we don't want our blog closed down by some hotshot lawyer pricks.  So even though you may be wearing a pair of 3 stripes at this very moment, its important to remember that most of these labels use countries where certain laws are relaxed and forced child labor is normal practice.  Countries that have already suffered massive economic disruption by folks called Economic Hitmen...

In this energy packed TV Commercial you'll find street art and graffiti created by the likes of Busk, Xenz, Chu and many others. Sadly the real heroes of the tv commercial did not get paid...

K-Guy Art Installation - Get Involved

A message from our friend and leading artist K-Guy;

A while back I was asked to submit a proposal to produce a piece of
work which if selected, would be included for the 'No Holds Barred'
special project at Art Amsterdam 2010. I have attached a link below
of my proposal and a short 3D flythrough model for an installation
called 'No Blood On Your Hands' which amazingly has been selected by
an independent panel of judges from 89 other artists to be worthy of
inclusion in the exhibition.

Now here's the but.... my only problem with producing this properly
and to a high spec is to somehow get some additional funding. Over
the last couple of weeks I have been getting quotes together and it
is working out at about £5K which I just don't have rattling around
in my bank account. I've got about £2k sorted but definitely need
more. I am currently wading through the arts council funding
application which is very painful and have considered corporate
sponsors/companies/brands but my feeling is that the content of the
material will make them run a mile. Having said that, if there is
such a benefactor I have no problem with branding the exterior of the
installation i.e. sponsored by........for example.

If anyone out there knows someone with deep pockets willing to throw
some cash into an art project that will be seen by about 23,000
people and 130 galleries worldwide, please push them in my direction.
I would be massively appreciative of any ideas, thoughts etc.

Cheers. K.
