Peter Saville to leave 'guitar cut-outs' around London for people to find and keep

will be interesting to see which up and coming artists have signed em ..

i saw a piece in blowback a few years ago about an artist that does this type of thing all the time around london .. cant recall his tag .. he is a graf/hip hop artist, and he reuses 'rubbish' to do his art on and then places them in various places.

Yeah, but he was only with them for two years before leaving. ILMer Grimly Fiendish was kind enough to share a recent article about Saville with me in which his money problems are discussed at length. In it, Saville reckons he spends 10,000 quid a year that he doesn't have. And it talks about him selling CD's for food in L.A. in 1994 as well. The article paints him as a pretty uncompromising guy as far as what he's willing to do design-wise.

it's all true. saville is an uncompromising aesthete; his own worst enemy, if you like. you've got to admire him, in a way: at least he doesn't try to blame anyone else for his crippling lack of cash.

i assume you mean why saville himself doesn't own the copyright for his designs ... probably a) because he and wilson never stopped for a second to consider that such things might be important, and b) because half of them were nicked anyway. can you copyright what is essentially an image lifted from an astronomy book?

still: such was the factory way. fantastic in terms of coolness, stories and folklore; absolutely dreadful if you wanted to, you know, make a living. it's why i can almost - almost - forgive new order for the never-ending stream of compilations etc. they lost out on the opportunity to make so much cash during the factory days that it seems almost churlish to begrudge them the chance now.

this whole Saving Some of Your Money
lark really is important isn't it?

Unless yr kidding, you're thinking of David Saville.
