your thoughts on graffiti

[Dose-V.I.K]

''if you`ve ever walked down the street, seen a name , and wondered what that marking meant, i`ll tell you: it means somebody is telling you a story about who they are and what they are prepared to do to make you aware of it . every time a name is written, a story gets told . it`s a short story : '' i was here.'' who is telling it and where they were telling it will determine how the story ends . some stories will be adventures, some tragedies, and some courtroom depositions. but every story has a star , a stage , and an audience''

if you have a story or just wanna tell me how much you hate it ,please indulge me

I would like to more "artistic" graffiti. Most of the stuff I see around town are just names, and while I am glad that you can all spell I would like to see complex designs and explosions of color.

the main thing about what you see , is that it takes to long to do. it does look good but most of us stick to bombs or ''tags''.




trust me its not as easy as you think . go try it

I wasn't trying to say that any of you are untalented or that it's not hard to do. I know that I couldn't do it for the life of me. I just meant that it would be really cool to see some Rob Zombie-like drawings done in spraypaint on the side of a wall or train..

good question.

i think graffiti can represent a mutuality. it goes beyond the borders of private property. i'm not sure i 100% believe in private property. (like in the sense that i dont believe in santa or morlocks. it's an abstraction just like any sort of logic.) the rest of this will be rushed out because i haven't had a chance to really get deep with it:

graffiti is a reminder that we share life. it's a slap in the face. "you own this wall, it's yours, it's 100% government guaranteed to you. but now there's art on it. how can this be?" it's a value-check. to me it's like if i saw a momma/dadda slapping their kid in the face. i'd say "i really dont think you should slap your kid in the face." the obvious response is: "It's none of your business! this kid is mine! it's 100% government gauranteed!" but is the kid 100% theirs? is the wall 100% anyone's? is anything 100% anyone's?

and not only that, but it's an art attack! no matter the definition, i think art could be said to have some value contained within it. trying to add value and life back into our mechanized lifestyles can't be too bad of a thing - unless a threat to the mechanization is a bad thing (which i do not think it is). good graffiti, and not jackass graffiti, can represent a lot. it adds colour, value, and life to a (very literally) bleached culture.


graffiti is about as subversive as not standing for the pledge of allegiance. which means it's about as awesome as it gets (when properly done).
