Graffiti movement
I have very mixed feelings about street art. While I admire it and impressed by a good deal of it, I hate defacement of public buildings and property. But this video takes the cool factor to a whole new level.
Have you seen the movie "Exit through the gift shop"? I think you would really enjoy it. The movie will give you some insight into a few of the artists behind some of your street art in your posts this last year.
I am mostly totally against it. Granted, there is a truly gifted artist somewhere sometime but every day I go to "my" parks and see the wonderful monuments, fabulous works of art, defaced with graffiti and I hate it and want to punish them. ( my punishment would be to round them up and make them wash away all the graffiti in the city)
Wooow. That was very cool -- I wonder how long it took to have to draw each new thing by hand! Seems to be a series of photos strung together.. way cool!
This was cool, thanks for posting.
