Basically the same thread.

It's a legit style... Many artists out there are doing it legally.

I happen to respect the hell out of graff artists.

My friend is one and he is to damn good. If you know how to do it, its good because people pay him to tag up their offices and stuff, they pay for all the paint and everything.

If you insist. Here goes my reputation on the AO forums:







I am currently in the process of trying to find the correct colours of paint to spray this:



It will be lifesize too.


Here is some more stuff too, here is a pic of a sticker i am going to have printed soon:



That is pretty much all for now...i can/will get some more pics up later.

im talkin just stuff that is art.

"most actual artist put thier works in a place where it could use some enlightenment, like the side of a dingy old rail bridge or an empty blan back alley thats been abandon. its only when people got into taging that the art whent downhill. it became a competition for people to tage as much as posible not make something beautiful. that is where graff when way down hill"

Sketch'

a guy i know that does some really cool stuff around where i live.

So you are saying that everything I posted is pointless then? Just because you don't feel it is art? Art is whatever the artist wants it to be. I am making a statement regarding modern society and its approach to the classic nude. How many times do you see naked men? How about naked women? Exactly. AND, I am mocking it by wearing a respirator and holding a can of paint.

Art is whatever I want. The viewer cannot determine whether it is art, it is solely the artist who does so.

My sister up in NY does uh.. "Street Art"(pastes paper cut-outs on buildings and stuff). She's done a couple shows over in Germany too, and down in Miami.

She goes by "Swoon"

Hey Chizzle. Im'a back you up cuz even though i neither know one, or do it. I am proud to backup grafiti. I would be honored to meet one, I am and artist my self Graphically and on Paper. but man I wish I had the artistic talent and mind to perform grafiti.

Grafiti is a style of art, just like manga. Chizzle isnt meaning to brush up against the law... just lay off guys. grafiti owns

If you think that I was opposing his bringing up of graffiti, you failed to even look at my posts. But, if you were not referring to me, I apologize for my temper.
