Woe Is WebsterGotts

Once again WebsterGotts' hopes and dreams have been shattered- this time in a particularly mean fashion.

WebsterGotts are currently leading a life of poverty, they have no money or food, and this is the reason for their recent lack of activity.

For a short time there appeared to be a light at the end of the tunnel, as a group called Centrifuge offered a possibility of funding for WebsterGotts to make a new video. With this money, they could have eaten, clothed themselves and maybe even afforded a studio. Certainly, it would have allowed them to make some more truly great art work.

But at the eleventh hour, this flickering glimmer of hope was cruelly extinguished. The money will now go to other, more privileged artists who wish to continue jetsetting and pretending to make art work.

Below is the appeal video that WebsterGotts sent to Centrifuge. See if you could bear the guilt of not making a donation to them. Unless of course (like the Centrifuge group), you think they are just not good enough to get funding.





Sadly, everything in this video is actually true. WebsterGotts do indeed use a cupboard as a studio, they have terrible part-time jobs, and cannot afford coffee.

To top things off, Centrifuge would still like WebsterGotts to contribute to a publication. For free. What do YOU think they should do?

Yay! well up to the usual WebsterGotts highly entertaining standard. Even better than the Oxfam ads.

Do something free for Centrifuge? Pah! Tell them to go in ever decreasing cicles and disappear up their own fundament......
