    Is it just me, or is the Olympic "Games" just a very elaborate and complex cover for what is actually a massive global marketing campaign for all the big brands? It's supposed to promote health and well-being and yet some of the largest sponsors are the fast food and fizzy crap manufacturers. And if the Olympics is all about track records, most of the major sponsors are performing pretty badly when it comes to genuine environmental issues... Somehow to me it just doesn't stack up.

    I respect and appreciate that for the athletes who are actually taking part that the sense of competition and achievement is very genuine, but all that just seems lost under a barrage of endless marketing.. And there won't be any actual competitions for months yet...

    So in the real spirit of the games, I am appointing myself the Official Supplier of an Alternative Point of View...

    Here's a piece of work I did a while back that pretty much sums up my feelings... The English and Chinese both say; "United By Greed. All We Want is Gold". (Stencil and newspaper collage on 12 x one foot square canvases.)
