They Made me Do It. Donnie Darko inspired graffiti. (flash required, unfortunately).

  • Oh, sorry, via the Donnie Darko DVD. (You can see the two films I've watched in the last couple of days, hey).
  • That last comment would make more sense if I liked to my last thread, maybe. also, I really must stop commenting in my own bloody thread. I just don't want that dreaded "0 comment" moment, clearly.
  • Pretty cool. At first I assumed it was a collection of found objects, so to speak. The idea of this wonderful film cropping up in "real" graffiti is just too good to be true, I suppose.
  • This is actually extremely cool and not remotely annoying - which for a website that deliberately includes the words "a collective of artists emerging from the UK Grafitti scene" in a prominent position is a staggering achievement - and is further testimony to the amazing powers of the only film that was in my '10 favourite films' list before I'd even seen it... That was quite a long sentence. I'm quite annoyed I missed the show - I saw the feature about the first exhibition on the DVD, but didn't realise it was an ongoing kinda thing. And the stuff in this one actually looked better than the first one. The idea of this wonderful film cropping up in "real" graffiti is just too good to be true, I suppose. Actually, about a month ago I did take to carrying a piece of chalk around and idly scribbling 'they made me do it' whenever I was bored, but I gave up after a few days because a) the novelty wore off, and b) all my clothes, my hands and somehow even my face were covered in chalk. Also, it occurred to me that this might make me part of a collective of artists emerging from the UK Grafitti scene, and I couldn't live with the crushing shame.
  • The site wouldn't load for me, therefore I seriously doubt dng's commitment to Sparkle Motion.
  • why are you wearing that stupid MAN suit? dng: if you can, try to find "Porco Rosso" (available at some japanese rental joints with optional english subs) and "grave of the fireflies" for two more obscure takes from miyazaki. Then for a pair of simpler stories, I'd recommend "Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro" and "Panda! Go Panda!" I LIKE PANDAS! (Insert blog ref. here)
  • Thanks, forks. I'll try and search those out.
