StreetArt and Grafitti (thoughts + pics)

[4-Bar Killer]

StreetArt is starting to get big over here in Europe, especially since Banksy got real big (I know he's been big for a while, but regular shops have startet to sell his book etc.) What's your thoughts on StreetArt? Personally I'm not that much into grafitti, but I'm really fascinated by StreetArt, especially because of the expression and political message in most of the work, though I know the two are tighly connected. Here's some StreetArt from Copenhagen:

Good thread. Hope it goes plat. Where is Sicka at?????

[CherChezLaMarauder]

let me reevaluate #9....i think it's a black man losing his soul to the corporate world, and time is running out.

thats bullshit artsy hippie type shit, i'm down with stickers and stencils but dont waste some wall space with some artfag brush type shit


we kill that shit like this





you wanna d oart on the streets you gotta do it raw dog, keep it real

[Bloo]

Yeah, that shit was tight. honestly though I don't see a lot of this around my way and I live in what would be considered a bad neighborhood. I'm down for anything that's done out of the art. I'll have to start taking my camera with me and snapping flicks when I see shit like this.

Great pics, Murdah, just post more! Especially the last one is really ill. I have these different books with street art from all over the world, I can take some pics of the pages, cause those are fucking crazy. I'm also going to Iceland today, and I'll take some pictures if I see something (could expect something up there)

Here's some Banksy:








Here's some pics of what he did on the west bank in Gaza (fucking amazing work, great political message)
