			<description>It\'s alright... Graffiti is still second hand art. I like some of the \&quot;non-ghetto\&quot; stuff, but most graffiti is just a pat on the back for creating fairly weak designs with spray paint. The only ones I\'m even fairly impressed with are #2 and #3, but they\'re still ghetto.</description>

you sir are an IDIOT and most likely an idiot that doesn\'t have the talent to do something as amazing as the works represented here. I guess its easy to criticize behind a computer screen.</description>

			<title>Nice stuff</title>
			<link>http://www.marcofolio.net/photoshop/graffiti_art_to_boost_your_inspiration.html#josc1366</link>
			<description>Some nice stuff there,really. Most inspiring is probably the stuff from Daim. He has such an unique style. I used to be a writer too and never lost the feeling for graffiti at all. I still have my old blackbook with sketches and images from the early 90`s. I uploaded a hand full to [u]http://flickr.com/photos/razer2176/sets/72157604071079886/[/u] . If you care for some nice sketches you could check on my blog, since I am going to release some sketches and images on a regular basis. 
Nice work again, cheers for this.</description>

Reputable museums often feature artists who\'ve pioneered or mastered a technique in a certain medium. Painting, as in paint applied by a brush on a surface, is thousands of years old. Graffiti by it\'s modern definition (markers/spray paint on a surface) is only in its thirties. Give it time, and one day you\'ll see a big chunk of wall in the Smithsonian.</description>

			<description>most of that is not graffiti. it\'s artwork with spray paint. graffiti is a culture that unless you are a part of, i doubt you understand. graffiti is not mindless scribbles, despite whatever uneducated outsiders may think.
learn a it about it before criticizing it maybe?</description>

			<description>Definitely art.  I love the dimensional stuff, especially.  And when you see a correctly proportioned face that large, that says the artist draws a great deal.  Artists will express themselves with anything, period.  Paint on a building goes back to ceilings in chapels, so why would this be weak?  We may see alot of graffiti and think it is all similar, which is fine.  Commenting and blatantly pointing out the fact that you don\'t get it is alot easier than making something completely original.

			<description>Listen little boy- what he said was true.
REAL artists PAY their dues, PAY for their own canvas, and make they\'re art where its WANTED.

Anything else is pointless, stupid vandalism.

Losers with nothing real to say, no jobs, no future, so they go \'make a mark\' on someone elses property.

Unless someone gave you permission to put it there, its not ART. Its vandalism.</description>

			<description>As an art student I can really appreciate the personality and effort put into these amazing pieces. Judging someone else\'s expressions as \&quot;second hand\&quot; is pompous. What is wrong with being ghetto? Art is the freedom of expression. Don\'t squelch someone else\'s Freedom.

Congratulation to the Artists

			<description>Vandalism is the work of a closed mind.
Call it what you will, But this is art.
Real Artists don\'t conform to the confines of a canvas.  This is out of the box. The world could use more people like these artists, and less condescending squares.

REAL artists express themselves in ways that aren\'t always bound to the conventions of societal norms. REAL artists CREATE. REAL artists express whether their creations are wanted or not. None of it is pointless if it is real to the one who made it and has meaning for them. A lot of graffiti artists are very bright people who DO have something to say. You shouldn\'t look at graffiti and just call it graffiti, you should look at it and admire it. Sure some people just do tags, but others create impressive murals that portray a message. As far as \&quot;them\&quot; being jobless bums with no futures, maybe they\'re jobless but they have futures. Everyone does. What\'s yours?</description>

			<description>I think most people reading this will agree with me here when I say that its people like you [Noteasyatall] who ruin art these days as you seem to think that art can only be \'art\' if somebody wants to buy it. 

Art is a form of expression just like writing or singing, if someone wants to buy it thats great but if not then it doesn\'t make it any less of a piece of art. Just because everybody might not like, or want to listen to your favourite song doesn\'t mean it isn\'t a song does it? 

It really fustrates me when people slate graffiti especially they say its \'vandalism\' just because its on a wall not a canvas. Obviously these people have no imagination, creativity or any idea how difficult the art is or even how skilled these artists have to be. I have alot of respect for any artist whether the work is to my taste or not, but people like \'\'noteasyatall\'\' should really let go once in a while  and stop getting on their high horse just because they think that they know better. Try opening your mind to a few new things because theirs some really great stuff out there :).

Personally, I think these are great especially the 3rd and 10th ones. Does anyone know the artist of these? They look like they\'re from the same anyway.</description>

			<description>i think some of these pieces are unreal. for someone to look at these and not be able to appreciate the beauty is simply ridiculous. i think society needs to let go of its ancient ideals and accept graffiti as a mainstream art.. i just wish there was more like this in my city.

			<description>the funny thing is, most of the artists that did these (7th Letter Crew and MSK) are making hundreds of thousands of dollars selling their talents to big name companies. just because their work isn\'t hanging in a gallery somewhere (actually it is), doesn\'t mean they\'re not artists. also, a lot of the stuff in this post was invited..</description>

			<title>More from RAM (picture #1)</title>
			<link>http://www.marcofolio.net/photoshop/graffiti_art_to_boost_your_inspiration.html#josc1921</link>
			<description>#1 is from RAM (Random Aeresol Movement), an amazing portugese artist i had the chance to meet by chance lin 2006 in lisbon while he was organizing a graffiti exhibition in an old printhouse he squatted. He is one of the moving forces in graffiti in europe, and is simply an amazing artist and all around good dude. While he primarily works in lisbon, he grew up in Sintra, about an hour outside of lisbon, and across the street from the house he grew up in is what is known locally as RAM\'s Wall of Fame, a block wall surrounding a factory, the owner of which recognized RAM\'s talent, and allowed him to completely conver with his work over a period of years. The wall features his collaborations with the who\'s who of portugese artists, and is a living museum to their art. I posted pictures of my favorite pieces to flickr last year, and you can see them here:  

http://www.flickr.com/photos/artificialeyestv/sets/72157594280475187/

photos from the printhouse exhibition, called VSP, which was covered in work over the course of a year leading up to the final closing exhibition, where i had the chance to do a live video performance while the final work was being created live can be seen in these two photo sets at flickr:

(closing day)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/artificialeyestv/sets/72157594279507475/

(our live video performance) http://www.flickr.com/photos/artificialeyestv/sets/72157594280266824/

I would like to point out that i (a non grafitti artist) personally BOUGHT 3 pieces from the artists exhibiting in this exhibition because i was blown away by their work, much of which could be exhibited in any gallery or museum of reputation anywhere in the world, and often IS. Graffittti has long been recognized as a reputable arform, both critically as well as in terms of being sold to collectors, at leastsince the mid-70\'s. EASTPAK, the backpack manufacturer is an ongoing sponsor of the portugese scene, and has also commissioned the artists to do custom pieces on commission.  Born in the ghetto, graffitti has long been coopted by corporations and the media, and spread all oer the world as an artform, lifestyle, and culture.

I will also take the time to point interested people towards the other video work that my partner synesthete and i did while in lisbon, the Video Grafitti project, there is a photoset here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/artificialeyestv/sets/72157594280493809/

and a video on youtube here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=7obD7PcZWBI

\&quot;Together with local VJ collective, videomorphose.com, artificialeyestv bombed the city with guerilla video graffiti, a form of urban street art new to lisboa. Armed with a full magazine of subversive content in their laptops and a high-performance videobeamer firing twenty five frames per second mounted inside a civilian SUV, the crew of four assaulted the streets late at night with their temporary visual ammunition. Video graffiti covered walls, automobiles, and monuments temporarlily, leaving behind no damage or trace of their presence.\&quot;</description>

			<description>I think these do look amazing (and I just hate how these guys/gals manage to create depth on a flat wall like that), as an \&quot;artist\&quot; these are candy for the eyes.

However, I really don\'t agree with the downvoting and scapegoating \&quot;NotEasyAtAll\&quot; because he doesn\'t consider grafitti art.

These elaborate pieces are obviously commissioned, or simply allowed, but to call someone \&quot;closeminded\&quot; for stating the obvious fact that unwanted grafitti is vandalization of property.. Yeah, you\'re candidates for the \&quot;should not be allowed to breed\&quot;-pool.</description>

			<description>How can you say something like that?! Art is art, hands down, art is an expression of feeling and a display of ability, it takes TRUE creativity to use city streets as a canvas.

Anyone can go out and buy paints and canvas... But it takes true devotion, creativity, and poise to use a brick wall! 

To say it\'s \&quot;ghetto\&quot; or \&quot;weak\&quot; is simply a way to make yourself feel better, because you know you can\'t do it!

Art is from your heart, no \&quot;reputable\&quot; museum can decide that or not, and until you understand that, you will never be a true artist.</description>

			<description>Art is respectful and I agree with some of the comments...what is art to you may be trash to others...find a respectful medium and display it in a place where it may be viewed at will (gallery) or the so called artist is only imposing itself on others whether they want it or not.....what would you call that....defecation? Only someone can call the artist an artist cause without anyone seeing it as art it is simply ....something!</description>

			<description>Yes, graffiti is absolutely an art. It does take an unmatchable skill to pull these off. But the bottom line still stands. In a sense, someone is paying for their art. It is costing land and business owners hundreds of dollars to repaint their walls. Now unless this art is licit, it is equal to drawing on a sleeping person without permission. The only difference is a contract painter cost money. Nothing excuses the damage to someone\'s property. I want to know if any of the illegitimate \&quot;taggers\&quot; paint on their mother\'s house or their best bud\'s house. 

Everything can be perverted, and portrayed disrespectfully...Even art.</description>

			<description>You have your head up your ass. Vandalism can still be art.
Creating a hole in a beautiful stained glass window is still creating something; albeit, a hole. Try arguing with words that you know the definition to.


And, retard, a paid artist does not buy his own canvas. The buyer buys the canvas and the paint, and the time, and the design.

And what the hell does \&quot;pays his dues\&quot; mean? Like dues in the awana\'s club? the rotary boy of the month club? Some stupid frat where you can drink your fucking mind away, surround yourself with people who believe the same as you so you don\'t have to change or be pressured to think, beat up, shun, haze, persecute anyone who thinks differently than you...? Your head is up your ass still.

by the way:
A lot of street artists that you see on sites like this one actually do have something to say.
For many of them, this [i]is[/i] their job, that they get paid a shitload of money! A lot more for something that is more meaningful than anything you will probably ever do. [i]This is[/i] their future, and I must say, a brighter future than yours seems to be. And [i]I want[/i] their art there. It\'s better than some falling down wall with stucco and paint pealing off of it. It\'s better than some vast white or grey nothingness. It\'s better than a lot of things that I don\'t want there that is legal. 

So maybe it is ghetto; Though, I don\'t see any of this as being very ghetto. These people have more skill than most people I ever meet. 
 And maybe you are an elitist dick who has to go make his mark on some web forum where you aren\'t wanted with lousy grammar and horrible creativity!</description>

			<description>They probably would. Their best buds probably help them, Their mothers are probably proud of their talent.
The only problem with this for illegal \&quot;taggers\&quot; is that this is very close to home to say \&quot;Hey, I live here, I\'m the one painting all over town!\&quot;

But only one of these was a \&quot;tag\&quot; and it was probably legal.</description>

			<description>art does not have to be respectful.
Street art is good precisely because it is not in a gallery somewhere. I don\'t have to pay some museum in order to see someone\'s art. Maybe all artists don\'t care if they get paid, or public recognition. 

Everyone imposes themselves on everyone else. Not only street artists. Right now you are trying to impose you idea that imposing ideas is shit. That doesn\'t make a lot of sense to me.
What about television ads? I don\'t really want to see half of the crappy ads people pay to put on television. I choose to watch the TV. (sometimes) But you choose to walk down the street. At least my art isn\'t inside your living room.

I mean, you do make a point, but why should we be expected to apply it only to art?</description>

			<description>to the angry readers:
graffiti is how i started my graphic design career.  i was arrested 2 times, and was never charged.  to tell you the truth, all of the friends i used to write graff with in high school (and later) have good jobs or gigs now.  most are entrepreneurs...  a lot of friends that were into more traditional forms of art/music when we were younger have joe jobs with no creativity involved...  i guess they got burnt out on creativity through conformity.  i would like to understand how someone can think that any of these examples are ugly, or even more so, how the building or wall under any form of vandalism is in any way more beautiful than the earth that was once there.  we\'ve all vandalized the earth in one way or another just by contributing to our society...  smell your shit, it probably smells worse than you think.</description>

			<description>If you think graffiti is all bout throw-ups and bombs than you need to learn how to do better or don\'t say shit. I have no respect for faggots who think this is vandelism. Pixel is a legal artist and gets paid to have people admire his work. whether you paint on canvas or brick i cake it. Don\'t be negative...</description>

			<link>http://www.marcofolio.net/photoshop/graffiti_art_to_boost_your_inspiration.html#josc7437</link>
			<description>My question to all of you who support graffitti art on the streets.........

would you want someone to spray paint the side of your home?  would you want your kids to view some of the stuff that is painted on the walls?  not everyone can \&quot;choose\&quot; what streets they walk down or what they see on those streets....so why is it okay for others to defame private property and subject others to their \&quot;art\&quot; when it may be offensive to others?

I\'m just wondering if anyone has thought of these questions when they are making statements in support of or against graffitti art on city streets.</description>

			<description>geeky-ish is an aidiot babsy(an amazing graffiti artist) had his own exhibit in the london art museum... im pretty sure they are credible. graffiti is true art when its not throwning up a gang. its not ghetto. only an ignorant person would see it as \&quot;ghetto\&quot;. if you consider pictures of naked people and drip paints art but look at graffiti and say its nothing but a bunch of words, you have no taste. in anything. give up. kill yourself.</description>

			<description>Agreed, this is art. Some of it extraordinarily done BUT if it is done on property without permission it IS vandalism. Most of the murals done in my city have been painted on ugly walls and permission was granted. I mean, who wouldn\'t prefer to see such a colourful array rather than cracking grey cement. I would be furious if someone decided to make the side wall of my house a canvas - after all it is my property and I paid for it. There are many places that would love an artist to jazz up their dreary walls. Just ask first. Tagging, on the other hand, is not art it\'s pure stupid minded vandalism.</description>

			<description>Anyone who says that this is not art, is not an artist, they are simply completely inept observers. This is art bred from an entire culture. Daim, ,Loomit, And Banksy are only a few who have been owning Europe. Check out Retna (shown) and people like Sam Flores, Saber, Revok, Twist, (I could go on forever) and say that that\'s not art. That would be like saying you don\'t breathe air.  Art is someone using inspiration to create something that inspires others. This inspires many.</description>

Gallery hours, Tuesday - Saturday, 11am until 6pm

Santa Monica, CA, August 18, 2009 - Robert Berman Gallery is pleased to present Vagos y Reinas, an exhibition of selected works by artists and muralists Mac and Retna. Vagos y Reinas marks the first time these longtime collaborators have exhibited in a gallery together. 

Mac and Retna are unlikely partners. Mac is a photorealist: His work in spray paint makes the medium dissolve into a sea of classical touches. Retna is all brush: He is known for his abstract embellishments and calligraphic font. Collaboration is a constant in graffiti, but from the first time that Mac and Retna worked together on a mural it was clear that each painter brought out the best in the other; that the precision of one balanced the looseness of the other. In the five years since, Mac and Retna have collaborated on more than 20 murals around the globe, producing some of the most memorable, monumental work in recent memory. Vagos y Reinas is their widely anticipated first collaborative gallery show. 

Mac and Retna\'s murals are points of neighborhood pride, and it has made them local heroes. They often get involved in the communities they paint in, speaking in schools or mentoring young artists. Their murals have also become local landmarks-so much so that their piece on La Brea and 3rd was included in a recent Los Angeles Times ad campaign featuring iconic people and places that represent the city.

Vagos y Reinas brings their outdoor work inside. The title of the show, which translates to \&quot;vagrants and queens,\&quot; references Mac and Retna\'s street-infused styles and celestial depictions of women. On exhibit are large-scale pieces that represent some of their best work together. For example, with \&quot;Gracias a la Vida,\&quot; an 11-by-11-foot canvas, Mac and Retna exalt a photo of a beautiful woman into a divine being. It is a perfect example of their use of graffiti and fine art, combining spray paint with Alphonse Mucha\'s whiplash curves, motifs pulled from Byzantine art, and a powerful image that recalls Gustav Klimt.

The exhibit also serves as a retrospective, showcasing individual work from each artist before and after they met, as well as brand new pieces that demonstrate their maturation. \&quot;I think that our development as individual artists has made our collaborative work that much stronger and more unique,\&quot; Mac explains. Mac will show his extremely technical photorealistic canvases, while Retna plans to create a floor-to-ceiling installation of his calligraphic font.

The exhibition coincides with the release of Alianza (Upper Playground/Gingko Press), a 96-page hardcover book that documents their partnership over the years. Vagos y Reinas is open to the public from September 26 to October 17, 2009, during normal gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday, 12 to 6 p.m.</description>

			<description>You know what? Graffiti is seriously an art form, its our way of expressing ourseves in a way that not only goes against the norm, which defines it as art, but also a way for us to stay clean and keep from doing other stuff, despite common belief not all graffiti atists are pot heads and uneducated people. We live for graffiti and its a way for us to escape reality and do something that we\'re truly good at. Im not saying that not all graffiti is art because its definatly not, there are some people that do it just because they think its cool to destroy peoples property and the people who do that upset me. I am someone who is big on tagging because not only does it help me stay clean, but it also makes me feel very proud of myself. The feeling that you get when you plane and draw a \&quot;peice\&quot;, and then go and pull it off is nearly impossible to explain. We do this for many reasons but without graffiti we wouldn\'t be the people we are, it defines us and makes us uniqe, it helps us to survive in this urban reality. Its about doing something that people thoght was impossible, it about exploring new places and reaching new hights, its a way for us to define our thoughts in a way people can enjoy. The artists that practice this art have to dedicate their lives to it, its not like they just one day decided to pick up a can of spray paint and make an amazing work of art, no, they had and still have to practice continually because it takes a set of skills that have to be well honed in order to do it. All you people out there that think this is pure vandalism must seriously have something wrong with yourselves becaus whats the difference between graffiti and a mural? It makes a wall more interesting and it is something that can make your day different. Graffiti is a lifestyle and its impossible to explain to an outsider. What is art but an expression of the artist? True art is done regardless of what people think and i have to think that this is art because the people that do it continue doing it regardless of recognition, they dont get paid like all the other artists out there, they are not featured in art magazines or in museums, and they continue taking the risk whenever they do this.</description>

			<description>Some of these comments are idiotic. \&quot;Real\&quot; painters don\'t steal their canvas; if they did, they would go to jail. Logically, people who walk around tagging things that don\'t belong to them should go to jail.

That being said, I would have no problem commissioning a graffiti artist to do something this incredible on the side of my house, because it is my house, and it is my decision.

The intent is what makes it art. If the intent is just to deface something to make a point, then you\'re not an artist, you\'re a douche.</description>

			<description>Mr/Mrs NotEasyatall,

you\'re entitled to your opinion, which by your own standards, is not worth a damn.
Which I think is an insult to the damn that I give.

Fight the grey. Painting colours through the rain. More. This is expression,  far from vandalism it seems to me that this is creative.

\&quot;Real art\&quot; The minute you hear someone spouting that spiel it\'s time to just  . . . .\&quot;yeah anything you say bub\&quot;

Oh, and what about Banksy?</description>

			<description>I wouldn\'t hesitate for a second to paint over any of this if it were on one of my buildings. Get it? MY buildings. I\'m paying for them. What gives punks the idea that they have a \&quot;right\&quot; to deface my property? Now, put them in art gallery? Sure. I see that there\'s a place for this type of artwork, and some of these examples are among the finest I\'ve seen. But not the sides of my buildings - O.K.?</description>

			<description>Im a graffiti artist , not a \&quot;tagger\&quot; which is what i do but i do not being called, i live in the bay area in california and think all of u who think this is not art are extremely ignorant graffiti is a way to express feelings and emotions and is a urban art it brightens up streets and walls and most of the time takes teenagers on a pathway away from drugs and violence because its a substitute for hiding there emotions. :arrow:  the best peaces that i have done were when i was depressed or angry it the mind &amp; emotion to hand &amp; touch :angry:  :s  :dry:</description>

			<description>that is actually 2 artists from l.a. the female character is by \&quot;the mac\&quot; and the designs around it are by the same guy who did the warm-color-scale birds (#17 down), known as \&quot;reyes\&quot;.  look them up online, they\'re done doing illegal work and so they make money doing murals and clothing.</description>

			<description>So I am just curious, all of you who are saying that Graffiti is not art because it is on a wall...  What\'s up with the Sistine Chapel?  And all of you who make distinctions between taggers and this.  They are all taggers.  The one that is distinguished as a \&quot;tag\&quot; 2, 4-6, 8, 10, and all of the characters evolved from people who were \&quot;tagging\&quot; the subways adding to their pieces.  There is no difference.  Good art evokes emotion, if they make you mad,  is that not an emotion?  Is it any different than a canvas?  You are just mad because you feel you cannot control it.  They just made you feel helpless and angry... Take it for what its worth.

Just curious when the last time you saw any true graffiti artists \&quot;tag\&quot; a home.  Yeah they write their name on walls, but it\'s generally understood that that is unacceptable.
You paint a half ass painting not easy at all, and you can write words, but \&quot;taggers\&quot; are giving emotion, action, and emphasis to letters.  It\'s like one word poems mixed with visual art.  A good deal of Graphic designers are graffiti artists.  To address a few of your concerns.  Can\'t stop, won\'t stop.</description>
