My opinion about graffiti artists.
So after writing about a couple of graffiti artist I decided it was high time that I gave my opinion about them. I'm going to be very blunt about it and say I'm not impressed. In fact I don't like you at all. The reason why is because I see you as lazy people who force other people to pay attention to you and this crap you come up with. I'm all for making new and interesting art. I love seeing sculptures that are fifty feet high and stand out in the middle of the sidewalk. But the difference between those and what graffiti artists do is the commission. Those strange fifty foot tall sculptures being put in the middle of the city were asked to be put there by the people. Either people, or an organization, collected money to higher an artist to create something that is unique and expressive. It was asked for by the people. Graffiti artists don't ask the people or owners of a building to paint. They just go. They assume that people won't mind if they paint wherever they damn well please, and if they do mind then they must be idiots. Not everyone wants to see weird ass pictures and names everywhere they look. I mean how would you like it if I went to your house and painted whatever I wanted on your walls. I think you would be pretty damn pissed. And the excuse that artist have a right to express themselves is the worst excuse ever. If that were true then serial killers should be able to keep on killing because allot of them see themselves as artists. So what this all sums up to be is not everyone likes to have crap painted onto their house. Not everyone likes a bit of weird color in the middle of their nice white wall. If you want to paint go buy a canvas like everyone one else. If you cant afford a canvas then get a job and stop depending on other people. I mean if you really want to paint on walls start with the ones in your house first. Then when those are all filled up you can either paint over them or just buy an abandoned building to paint on. And for all those graffiti artists out there. If I see you painting on something just so you can "express yourself" I'm calling the cops on you.
