I favor wildstyle and tags but occasionally I'll venture into wheatpaste and stenciling. I had a serious spurt of inspiration with my StarCraft friends here and decided to take a knife to a paper plate. Here's the result on a pizza box! + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m183/theroninexe/1212101744.jpg)   | ||

I fucking love Street Art, its a great form of expressing your thoughts on society, of being creative and addressing pop culture problems. Simply put, you are just out there - ppl see you. Graffiti is very influential, if it has the right message presented in the most creative, but easy for the guy on the street to understand, way possible. DivinO, thats really really cool. Keep it up | ||

Keep it up Unless the OP is getting permission before spray-painting people's walls, it is vandalism, and calling it "Street Art" is not going to change that. | ||

Made against the will of the property owner and without the support of the state - vandalism is that what you are trying to say ? OK I don't know what your deal is but you need to read my post. Doing something that's prohibited by law as an act of rebellion does not entitle the result to be called "Art." I'm gonna stand by that because in my eyes rebellion does not make something artful. Lighting a car on fire is not artful. At least not when it's someone else's car.Nowhere did I say that Street Art can't exist. Now, in regards to the image above I would say that one is vandalism and the other is not. That much is obvious. Whether or not either of them is art is up to the individual on the street to decide, but if you are implying that the illegal one is more art than the legal one, i'm worried for you. | ||

... Wrong and not what I said at all. Maybe you don't have top notch english comprehension but give me a break. On December 13 2010 09:29 disciple wrote: so then you see vandalism purely as act of behavior. I mean if the picture explicitly said "made with the support of the owner and the local police" you were going to look at it in an entirely different way. am I right? I didn't post in this thread to be an art critic. I'm here to point out that altering people's property without their permission is vandalism. Not only is it against reasonable laws in most countries but most level-headed people will agree that vandalism is not a cool thing to do to your fellow man. The most direct answer I can give to your question is that I'm actually going to look at the "artist" in an entirely different way, and the "art" perhaps slightly differently. I'm not really interested in continuing with this interrogation either. | ||

Give me a break. dont worry, I really see where are you coming from, I really do, but that was not my point saying graffiti is the art of rebellion. If you look at graffiti as an act of behavior, then you are absolutely right - just like making a sculpture is nothing more than shaping up a stone or another material. But in both cases I see graffiti and making sculptures as a way to express artistic thought, not as an activity. Vandalism is an activity and I dont see graffiti as an activity, its a tool, its means of saying something. Thats the way street artists see their work, thats the way ppl who enjoy it, look at it. | ||

Perhaps this dissociation alleviates the guilt you would otherwise feel from being a public burden. most of the great graffiti artists are pretty damn good with simple pen and paper, they are using the color sprays because with them, they can reach a brighter audience. is it illegal ? yes ? should that devalue the art itself ? I think not. Many of the top street artists are already on the "other side of the fence", not only they are not chased by the law as ppl who violated public property and as criminals, but they are actually getting paid by different organizations and encouraged to put their work in the public. The end product is absolutely the same as before. And btw how can you tell apart blowing up a building as an act of terrorism and as act of social revolution? I thought about the ending of Fight Club for some reason. | ||

Infamy (2005) is a good documentary that follows a few different kinds of writers in different parts of the US to give you some what of an idea. Graffiti is illegal and the majority of it is damage and crime but there is always bad that comes with the good in anything. Skateboarding/biking/blading are some other examples. PS- Here is a 200 foot piece in the LA River (which is basically a disgusting ugly place), is this work bothering anyone? I honestly think the crime is the city paying 600$ for each can of paint to buff it. http://blogging.la/2009/09/04/sabers-world-famous/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/seanbonner/3887856511/ | ||

This is not 100% vandalism, it was done on a pizza box we bought from a pizzeria; the stencil was made from a paper plate Divino bought and the image was created with spray paint he legally bought. Nothing about this is vandalism. | ||
