/>Favorite Artist of 2004:

/>David: Come on… How? CUE is a friend to one and all so let’s call him my
favorite. But between NYC and London, so many artists. How? Props to D*Face and
Mysterious Al. Bobby Puleo, Derrick Hodgson, Matt Irving, Darius and Downey,
Barnstormers…. Swoon continues to inspire.

Adam Neate (artist): .too
many amazing people but firstly my Wife href="http://www.waleska.co.uk/">Waleska, secondly href="http://www.keepsakesociety.com/">Chris Duncan. his stuff is amazing
and thirdly that guy who had some paintings in an arkitip magazine earlier this
year. I can’t for the life of me remember his name. He draws weird egyptian
style scenes of people being eaten by lions using red and blue paint with dotted
lines. Anybody know know who I mean??? There’s not many images i see that really
smack me in the face when it comes to style and originality, but this guy is
from another planet.

are pure art

Favorite New Artist of
2004 (an artist who you did not know of last year):

might say Ephameron... but watch for
Cornish in 2005.

Spazmat: Z ! Z !

Adam: href="http://www.fotolog.net/jonasisjonas/">http://www.fotolog.net/jonasisjonas/
This guy is amazing, I’ve only ever seen 6 of his paintings/ drawings so
far but those 6 images are stronger than a lifetime’s work for some people. I
love this foot print piece. (RAW talent and energy this guy does have)

Adam: A
kid called Pure-one is a young
london writer with bags of talent. With an amazing eye for style and letter
calibration, he’s only just started turning his hand to painting on canvas. This
canvas is of a well known london wall. He’s captured it perfectly. kind of like
the David Hockney of Graf

Adam: I went
to visit a friend who was squatting in an empty shop store. I found a tiny
plastic toy monkey with a bear t-shirt glued to the underside of a desk…
really weird placement, most probably from a really bored ex-shop worker who
thought “No body will EVER find this!”

Favorite Website of
2004:

David: Other than Wooster…. Being Hunted is always nice,
and crailtap.

Spazmat: href="http://www.polaroidscene.com/">www.polaroidscene.com - if for no other
reason because the master mind mark the cobra snake really is a homie and rumor
has it a conscienscious eater. Favorite 4 year web site due to not caring but
for sure now in action and up in early 2005: href="http://www.skullphone.com/">www.skullphone.com

Adam: href="http://www.99rooms.com/">http://www.99rooms.com everyone go visit it
and see a really cool project that looks good on the interweb.

/>Lister: wooster of course

Mr. C: I saw to many sites this year
/>Mr. U: Definitly Wooster, the only site I visit (almost) every day
Mr. M:
www.dartswdf.com

style="font-weight: bold;">What do you most want for Christmas?

/>David: Original Zoltar Hoody (Kieron Art) or an alife what zippo

/>Spazmat: In terms of gifts, I bought myself a cheap medium format camera
already for some photo projects in 2005. I don’t normally tell people stuff i’m
hoping for in fear they might actually spend their hard earned money on it. Last
year i tried to enforce a trade stuff only for a year policy, but that didn’t
work. My mom traded as decided but then bought me other stuff too. There’s
something about having something that was around someone for a year. It also
encourages mutual possesion -its mine and its yours. I’m going to try again this
year.

Adam: peas.

Lister: a holiday

Mr. C: A
decent day job
Mr. U: Something I can use, no crap this year please
/>Mr. M: A beer-hat to drink and trow darts at the same time

art/artists, and be inspired by the work I find. Also continued best wishes to
Marc and Sara for all they do with Wooster, Seriously.

/>How will you be spending the Holidays this
year? / What will you be doing on New Years Eve?

David: With
friends at Stratton Mountain in Vermont

Spazmat: December is all
about seeing friends which means travel. I’ll be in San Francisco a bit, but
will probably be in So. Cal for Christmas. We hear this alot, but Los Angeles
christmas’s are a bit quiet since most people who live here are from other
places and they go home. Except for oc, all those homies are usually around. New
Years will be in the snow. If I’m alive that’s where I’ll be. FR

/>Lister: setting off explosives

Mr. C: Having a barbecue indoor and
pretend it is summer
Mr. U: Lay low (I don’t like these days)
