That was such a great example of the difference between actual graffiti art and the vandalism that is tagging. In the center a really cool picture of beach balls that shows real artistic talent. On either side, work of a couple of knuckleheads who needed to spray paint something stupid on the wall.

He doesn't paint free hand but uses stencils and he got all of his ideas from a guy called Blek le rat and cashed in on them. Le Rat has been doing this for 30 years. http://silencedmajority.blogs.com/silenced_majority_portal/2008/04/le-rat-this-is.html

Someone should paint Nueva's deliciousness on a building. :p

I've been involved in art programs for a while, and, like MariaB was talking about earlier, street art has kind of become this big fashionable thing. You can take classes in some universities, even. :p if you go to Blick, you can buy a fancy brand of spray can and everything. I don't wannt to whine about commercialization but that seems antithetical. :p

I like to see good graffit art. Where the artist has shownn some crazy ridiculous skill with something that connnfuses me, like spray cans. But tagging, to me, is basically what hausboy said. Grandiosity. Most of it is tripe. Ohh here's my name on a wall! Sweet!
Graffiti and tagging are different thinngs.

I didnt even think about that LL, but you are right. That piece of art work is near the colleges and the children's hospital here. It never fails to catch my eye and make me smile.

I have to cross a set of train tracks to get to work and sometimes have to wait on a train to pass. While I admit there is some level of artistic skill that goes into some of the graffiti it is an eyesore and the people who do are criminals and deadbeats and probably losers.

I lived in Chgo for 20 years, and there is some really great graffiti there. There are also hundred of garage doors or whatever vandalized by taggers, often members of street gangs as a way to mark their territory.

When it's art done on an appropriate place, it's wonderful. When it's some spaz tagging his sig all over as a way to calm down? Not so much.

The idea of what is an appropriate place I will leave to the individual. One thing I loved about Chgo graffiti is that it was often found in seemingly unreachable places.

When I lived in Virginia, I saw some great graffiti. Did a lot of walking annd taking buses and saw some fascinating stuff. But some of it - the tagging - pissed me off. There were these great mermaids throughout Hampton Roads, and my faaaavorite one was down by Ocean View in Norfolk. A lot of these mermaids were wonderfully complex works of art, and the OV one was easily one of the best. The last time I saw it, someone had scrawled some idiotic tag down one side of it.

Yeah, I knew he used stencils, which makes sense when one considers what he does as a commando art form.
Get in. Paint. Get out, all ASAP.

I've never heard of Le Rat. Thanks Maria. That was awesome.

King george's goons thought pretty much the same thing about the tagging the "sons of liberty" put up all over boston.
Is it possible that there is some political statement being made in the tagging?

When it's art done on an appropriate place, it's wonderful. When it's some spaz tagging his sig all over as a way to calm down? Not so much.

If the authorities catch you doing either isn't the penality pretty much the same?

I have seen some awesome shit on the bottom of freeway overpasses...that is fifteen feet up in the air with traffic under you at 70mph...that is ingenuity(or a death wish)
