some pics






This is one of my favorite pictures... it is a bunch of writers in a group, it shows the community factor of this form of art. I know I've writing about graffiti allot but I finally got the pictures i wanted to show you so enjoy. Okay these are some characters, they are very much like political cartoons. In fact, many "writers" have a steady focus on just characters. By the way, graffiti artist are also known as writers because thats just what they do, they write their name and when people see they know everything about that name and the person that comes along with the person that comes along with that name. The name you chose also tells allot about the person, it's normally got to do with that persons feelings or personality or a certain characteristic that person possesses. In the previous image you saw a bug getting squished by a man or a boy, you can infer that the writer feels that he's being squished by what ever he or she is dealing with.This piece is really abstract and i happen to really love it. The picture itself is not one of my favorites but this one piece is outstanding.

  1. Graffiti is an art. It is a way for one to express themselves. It should not count as vandalism or a "crime" unless it is put up somewhere like a home, church, etc. It is a way for people of the urban culture to express the way they feel about certain things and is a very beautiful artform.

    It is Miami's best graffiti crew. Another good one to look up is MSK.
