SKAM has a Great Dark Horde

Tue Feb 17, 2009, 1:36 PM
NOTICE" SKAM does not conduct, promote, or endorse any acts of violence or destruction. Furthermore, SKAM feels that personal property shouldn't be vandalized, disrespected, or otherwise abused. Such acts delude the public's already misunderstood view of street culture and art."


The Great Dark Horde is an independent "household, art movement, creative inspiration" (a social sub-group or quasi-fraternal organization) within the Society for Kreative Artistic Merit (SKAM).

Although one can also find members in other re-enactment groups or also known as graffiti crews, it may very well be one of the largest household in that organization behind such movements as The Figurehead Experiment, Obey, Noxin, and RE:. It covers all the Kingdoms, though in some Kingdoms members do not always advertise themselves as SKAM Artists.


The Dark Horde first appeared (or, as they put it, "walked out onto the streets") at some major cities of the Middle Kingdom, beginning in the summer of 2007 apart of the "I was here once project"(A.S.V, in SKAM notation).One of the more notable co-founders was fringe artist Stahler (who in the SKAM was known as "Ring leader of the SKAM artists")
According to eyewitness accounts, some attendees wondered who let the artist into the graffiti/stencil/sticker community. According to Stahler himself SKAM started out as a way to expose people in power, disinformation, and corrupt factions of society.
The artists took the lead of Stahler and have spread the design and concept to all corners of the globe. The idea naturally is something that needed a direction and community for others who shared the same dissent with society, government and religious structures. Because Stahler started the movement, he is known to be the 'leader of the pack.'

Although the Dark Horde is particularly interested in the historical aspects of pre-graffiti/sticker culture, some members have the personae of Comedy, SYN503, Star Wars, Zombies, Robots, Figurehead, Ninja Turtles, Superheros, Political Figures and Horror movie themes , among others.
Thus, one cannot always identify a SKAM artist by their garb. They may very well be dressed in street cloths and may appear to be an everyday common street walker.

This diversity is an homage to the fact that the historical aspects of art and street culture have now covered the greatest land-mass of any single country to date -- but that the artists were among the more benign conquerors in terms of exposing the cultural and religious SKAMS of those they absorbed. They did impose their belief systems, customs or mores on subjugated peoples, they cared how they lived or whom they worshiped -- as long as they were prompt with required education that they were duped or lied to, and did not try to rebel.

Members of the Great Dark Horde are held to ideals of self-discipline, honor, and perfection; equality and respect for each person, regardless of race, sex, age, or allegiance; and camaraderie and friendship.

Although the role of the Horde is to serve as an anti-aristocratical alternative within the system, Horde members have served as King and/or Queen (and as Prince and/or Princess) in many SKAM Kingdoms and Principalities; have served as officers at all levels of the SKAM; have served as Baron/Baroness of SKAM Baronies; and have earned almost every known award and rank of peerage the SKAM has to offer.

The emblem of the SKAM artists is an arrow pointing into ones head with the word SKAM on it which symbolizes a corrupt idea, while on the forehead of the subject a loading sign appears relaying a thought process, The other side of the subjects head is exploding which relates to the ultimate truth of the corrupt idea, but the subject instead ignores the truths and facts and relates the corrupt information in the form of another arrow that is without the SKAM symbol. Those Horde members who wish to be known as such are identifiable by these forms of emblems and symbols in the form of there characters or subject matter. Those who choose not to be openly known as such are sometimes jocularly referred to as "Street artists".
