My favourite line of the series from Tom!

Perhaps it's some sort of rent-a-criminal service?

It would have been hilarious if the answer had been

"What? Oh, you mean Kevin. He's busy putting the recycling out."

Was a brilliant quote.

Also LS... "The loss of Pure Evil, is what lost this task"

I kow and agree! It cracks me up because its a pretty cool name! Not that I support evil or evilness in real life but I don't think he's basing his evil on that kind of evil.

Whilst watching the board room, my mind was wandering but it was quickly brought to attention when I heard Jade say something like 'the reason we lost was because Pure Evil . . .' I thought she was accusing Tom of being pure evil but quickly remembered. Still funny though. Great name.

Pure evil seems a total contradiction .
Pure means something, good,best,clean.

No, apparently it means: Not mixed or adulterated with any other substance or material and from an artistic point of view there is: Without any extraneous and unnecessary elements: "pure art devoid of social responsibility".

I just looked it up

I didn't think of the line like that until you posted it and now I can't stop chuckling at it.

What an absolute load of tosh most of the present artworld and those associated with it spout and believe .

Most of modern art is just utter ugliness . I lump the ugliness of most modern art, with the ugly modern architecture and the ugly modern atonal music.

I'd say 'pure' has a few meanings. It can mean clean, innocent etc.

But when it precedes something, it means something like 100%, nothing but... For example, "Pure evil" would mean "nothing but evil", or "pure alcohol" would be a completely 100% alcoholic solution.

Evil became an "it"/"in" word/phrase in the mid 1990's. I wasn't too sure what people meant by it either as sometimes it sounded like they meant good/cool by it but then other times it sounded like it was something not good like having to go to work or something! Anyone know and remember for sure?

Maybe thats where the artist had the motivation to use the word as part of his name now?

Other it/in words for example over the years where "Respect" and " Believe" and they too came and went like evil did in the 90's. More like flashes in the pan phrases they where. Believe well got on my nerves, though I am a believer in general!

p.s. Just thought they could probably make a new horror film out of that name! (probably has been done before anyway too). Just like "Candyman"....and then the 3 repeats of the word..........! " "

I can't be certain, but the pictures of the eyes bleeding reminded me of the film Seven, where the lawyer's wife's photo on the wall has her eyes bleeding in a similar way - am I right?

Nothing says 'Pure Evil' like a middle aged, middle class man doing some painting...

Personally I rather liked his stuff. It's worth a look at his website for anyone who's interested:

http://www.pureevilclothing.com/

I've also included links to all five featured artists in my episode recap over at http://slouchingtowardsthatcham.com/...-8-street-art/

There's a great advert on a Los Angeles radio station that says "94% of our customers would recommend us to their friends. The other 6%? Pure evil."
