There's nothing artificial or labored about that. Graffiti and Street Art, like any other art form, deserves an audience.

My favorite "graffiti" is still the drawn mustache, missing teeth and then the ol' pecker in mouth.

But, since the mid 1990's when there was such a crack down on the art itself as well as a greater appreciation of the art form. The artists began to get play in a great deal of galleries and on legal walls. So, there is the age old question of what does it really mean to sell out? If you can survive on doing what you love and share your art with the world or at least with the people that love it, what is selling out? I have written two 10+ page essays about the graffitit world in college. Really reviewing the point of it and the evolution from the spray can to the paint brush, from the illegal aspect and the legal aspect. I love it. There is a great expose that was done on graffitti on Sunday Morning. Its a show on channel four. It talks about the scene in France and how the once outlawed art is now selling for thousands. People are probably more open to the pieces due to the emergence of Murikami (sp?) and the other Japanamation explotion, Jeff Koons, Keith Herring graphics and such. It is just a strange dynamic when not everyone knows as much as you do or loves art the way you do Maria. I love reading you blog. It has influenced me to see a lot more galleries and get to know you a little bit more. xoxo jennifer i understand your point of view about the raw art of graffitti and the original desire of anarchy that is embedded in the art form.
