Graffiti
 

Graffiti has always been something that has interested me, not just for the fact that you run around illegally painting, but because of the ways you can express yourself through your art. Is anyone else into graffiti? lets see some of the graffiti from your areas.

here's some flicks or local artists and some people I paint with.

is writing your name art?

see this shit all over when im taking the train to toronto...especially around the crack district around bloor.

art is pretty subjective. you of all people should know that anti. biggrin:

I can appreciate grafitti art - when done right - but writing words that need deciphering in that manner is neither original, clever or complicated. Its so overdone now and nothing has changed in ten years.

I like when people spray up pictures rarher than bullshit word "bombs." At least you can see originality in them.

Theres little to no graffiti where I am and although this isn't local, this guys work is incredible:

Stuff like this is what ignites peoples imaginations in otherwise mundane city surroundings.

Hey Trip, there's a local artist named Daser, he is like 43 and been painting for 82, he has some amazing art, i'll see if I can find some of his old stuff.

that picture I posted of the guys painting, that is called Tech Wall, its a legal wall you can paint, here's from a couple of years ago, Daser took the whole wall.

this is the kind of stuff i would turn my head and think for a minute, that writing stuff or that you posted in the first post i wouldn't even bother to pay attention to it.

i dont know why people put there name or what ever you want to call it all over the place. it make the place look like a shit hole and doesnt do a good job of trying to make the world a more colourful place.

Ya, agreed, I don't even know what those pics in the initial post say/mean...but the most recent ones of people or Miyagi's seem interesting.

If you look at the train in the picture I posted, you'll see the train has rope around it, well the, rope in the painting matches up with the bars at the top of the wall, I just noticed that

I do graffiti all the time.. but I only write incredibly offensive things to piss people off.

graffiti makes the town look like shit and it costs people money to repaint over it. if you want to express yourself, paint your own damn house otherwise get hit by a bus.
