And if you're in to graffiti and can't make something special, don't be into graffiti. :) -- Sandman[.net] |

This one for instance looks kind of simple: http://i.imgur.com/kYURNmd.jpg But if you consider it more closely, it actually is a pretty neat work. Compare it to some examples of actual sloppy crap (in my opinion): http://i.imgur.com/JG9CUmu.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RShQnBi.jpg -- Sandman[.net] |

But if you consider it more closely, it actually is a pretty neat work. No. Compare it to some examples of actual sloppy crap (in my opinion): http://i.imgur.com/JG9CUmu.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RShQnBi.jpg Well, that's not graffiti as art, that's just color thrown on a wall. My comments were purely in the scope of graffiti as an artform, and these two do not fall into that category at all, and ths register far lower than merely "crap" :) -- Sandman[.net] |

Everything between the windows was mediocre at best. The photo is low res so it's haerd to see any detail, but the red and circle ones on the lower wall has some potential, but doesn't look very good from afar. The above is one of the last pictures that was taken. To avoid litigation over historic designation, the eveving of the day I took that pivture, the owner whitewashed entire building. You should google "Puppet", a Swedish (from my hometown) graffiti artist whose name is Daniel. Here is one of his really early work (1989), from the Västerås industrial port: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Puppet©1989.jpg Obviously, later work is a lot nicer. -- Sandman[.net] |

Prior to change of ownership, grafitti areas on that building was reserved for recognized grafitti artists. You and I may not like some of the images. Indeed I do not like a lot of the images either, but they are recognized as art. The above is one of the last pictures that was taken.

I would not like that image hanging on my wall, but I recognize it as art. Fortunately, there is no one artbiter of which art is better than others. -- PeterN |

If it doesn't fit their idea of art, it must be crap and they can't work out that perhaps it's their concept of what constitutes a work of art that's crap and not the creations they dismiss so easily. |
