if you knew shit about shit, you’d understand that corporate graffiti is a vile and insidious phenomenon. you don’t care if it’s up there? well then, you obviously don’t care about principles or the streets. corporations are not “other artists”–they are engines of death and opression. any major corporation has a huge “voice” in the public consciousness, yet pretty much none of them use this tool for progressive or socially positive means. instead they are bought-in and complicit in a form of capitalist fascism that is destroying our minds, our freedom and our planet.

if you knew shit about shit, you would recognize that illegal free speech on the streets by individuals and small, independent groups and companies is something that has the potential to change our world for the better. corporations slithering their way into the same spaces that have been pioneered by free-thinkers and individuals represents yet another co-opting of a subversive movement that threatens the power structure.

fuck you.

but all the graf writers throwin heat about “street artists”, doesn’t seem to add too much in my opinion, except being negative. ive talked to graf writers who bust on “street artists” for puttin stuff up on the net but do the same themselves. and while you can say stenciling derived from graffiti, the graffiti movement and BLF and Ron English coincided. im not saying i know everything about this stuff, but enough to say i really think this condescending talk from graf writers doesn’t contribute in a positive way. also, if you want to police the streets of corporate stickers, go for it. personally i couldnt care if its up there. or too if graf writers or other artists want to do billboards. half these cats are commercial artists by day anyway. being responsible to one’s art is key but i dont think you guys need to be responsible to other artists as well.
