Totally agree, it takes collective action and responsibility to do that, it’s just the collective that have chosen to do it so far have applied their own secondary agenda whilst they’re at it. Always the way.

Hmmm.. I have no idea what really is there but maybe some graffiti is worthy of staying where they are but others, they are just there for no purpose. I have to say, others really entertain me and they way they are done, they're done good with passion and good purpose... others are just there to give dirt and disgusting view.

Yes I will have to look into this Earth Day business and what it stands for more closely. I don’t like to think of it taking an anti graffiti position. And there was a case quite recently where they painted over a famous street artist in London.

I’ll be looking out for stuff…

Bye for Now

Hey Jill

Thanks for the comment – I suppose I’m making the point that painting over graffiti isn’t exactly helping the earth and that there is a world of difference between graffiti art and graffiti – I just doubt many of those painting over an OBEY, a Faile or A Banksy would know when it’s art or not.

I do read the graffiti articles at CC from time to time – I really liked the post on Urban Art Goes Mainstream – keep ‘em coming

I found this on a graffiti Google alert rather than visiting your page because of Entrecard and then realised it is the same one! Small world.

I’m still surprised by the hue and cry against graffiti on the one hand and the high praise it gets as the latest thing in art on the other. I’ve been fascinated since a friend had a summer job in the 70s of organising murals to be painted on the ends of terrace house all over our town. It really cheered the place up. Your idea of inviting local artists to paint graffiti sites sounds good to me. Or just leave them as they are…

We’ve had quite a few posts and pictures up about Graffiti and Street Art on Creative Cafe by the way.

Very interesting post

Thanks

Jill
