    I'm surprised how many people dont like him
  2.  
    Oh no, I love Banksy. I just don't like the toff-arsed journalist that wrote the article about him.

    And to anyone who doesn't like Banksy, shh, because what he does is worthy. It may not be brilliant in Da-Vinci style, but it makes people think. The messages are clear and poignant and I think that something like this is needed in todays society. And it's inkeeping with the progression of media, where as before you could potrat a message through poetry, today it wouldn't reach enough people for it being worth said. I think in this sense graffiti is a good way of reaching a generation which live in the 21st century. And I don't think there is anything wrong in progression in art.

    However on the flip side of the coin, I hate pretentious "artists" who chuck paint randomly at a canvas and then say it's a potrayal of hate and betrayal and hang it in a gallery and call it "art" Utter tosh if you ask me. But then again, what do I know. I'm only entitled to my own opinion.

    Ok, sorry, rant over. :smile:

    lots of graf, plus stuff like this -

    This has to be the most poignant piece of Graffiti.

    I'll set the scene, though you're all older and probably already know. This is from joe Strummer and the Mescalleros last album, which Joe Strummer died before finishing. The video is done by the rest of the band 1 year after his death. Watch this and cry.

    A very good idea :)

    Reminds me that i have taken a few photos of Shepherd Fairey's Obey tour. He's basically been all over Shoreditch doing paste ups of the classic Obey face and some of the more detailed screenprints. Pretty damn awesome. Up close and personal, his work is on point, well designed and excellently implemented. I was fan of his graf when he was known as Giant, but this stuff is just truly inspiring.

    Harriet Irgang, director at Rustin Levenson Art Restoration, works on a graffiti wall with drawings by original graffiti subway artists Fab Five Freddy, Futura 2000 and some traces by Jean-Michel Basquiat Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2007, in New York. The large mural, created by some of graffiti's earliest pioneers, was discovered recently in a 10-story limestone building just as developers were converting it into luxury condominiums. - amny.com
