Its so easy just to walk down the street and put up posters. I see street teamers doing it in broad daylight. Where's the sacrifice? And to think people have careers made out of this stuff...

Things are at a point where the representation of things need to progress or keep on catering to people who keep on "discovering" street art. As a "movement" its on a precipice where it needs to take a step in some direction. It has made some people's career, some famous, etc. and now we need to get back to making shit and not watching it happen, in a gallery, or on the street... So someone says "Street art blows," well what are we doing about it. feeling similiarly as rations.
