Quote from Schwa

Eh. Poor people paying for pricey post modern pre-natal murder prevents pre-teen persons pilfering?

I perceive that poor people perhaps would not possibly pay for overpriced operations planned and peopled on their penetrated pussies.

:/

Why the alliteration?

Quote from Ustartin

Yeah. I also find that when I'm on a train and I see, on my journey, a really old, wrecked, burnt out train covered in graffiti that it looks really ominous and creepy but also amazing at the same time.

FUN FACT: "Graffiti" is the plural of "graffito".

There was a billboard in a fairly ghetto area where I used to get my haircut. It was for some musician that was playing somewhere nearby but it happened a while ago and I guess they forgot to take it down. So someone drew a beard on him that looked kind of like Freeway's.

Quote from Zed

I went and got the book so I can see what they actually say, instead of working from memory. They say that the price of abortion dropped when it was legalised because previously it had been a dangerous illegal operation that had to be done quietly. Before the legalisation an abortion would cost more than $500 so only the rich girls could afford it. After the legalisation the price dropped to between $50 and $100. It's not that mostly poor people got abortions (although they did) but that the rich people would have gotten the abortions anyway.

Oh, in that case I concede the cession of rights to cunning doctors could cause a catastrophic decrease in the cacophony of courageous killers calling accord to crime.

Haha, awesome. Immature, but awesome. It's like drawing a beard on someone in a magazine but a lot bigger.

A little alliteration alights along a lubiquitous line of reasoning? Lol.

Anyway, back to graffiti. What's the most impressive piece of graffiti you've ever seen?

According to the internet 'lubiquitous' is not a word.

D:

What hath you wrought?

There's a construction site near where I live where it's legal to graffiti and there are fantastic works... from hideous monsters to Sesame Street. Probably the best I've seen.

The city where I live has a very famous graffiti artist and no one knows his identity... His name is "Banksy" and does giant pieces of controversial art, his most famous being that of two male policemen snogging. It's become a tourist attraction and has been removed from its original spot twice, only to come back the next morning. He has now become world famous, here are some of his works:

I needed something. Lucious just didn't sound right.

@Ustartin: Wow. Just wow.

Also, at London Zoo, he climbed into the penguin enclosure and painted "We're bored of fish" in seven foot high letters and at Bristol Zoo, he left the message 'I want out. This place is too cold. Keeper smells. Boring, boring, boring.' in the elephant enclosure

How do they know it was him?

Quote from Zed

How do they know it was him?

He only leaves a signature on a few of his works, which is tricky.

He has a very distinctive style, most of his works involving rats somehow, usually to show a political message.

He leaves clues around, but it's his very distinctive art style that lets most people know. It's never debated as to whether he did it as many recognise his style.

More by Banksy:




(as you can tell, someone else did the cock)

He's usually telling a message in most of his works, you can usually tell which ones those are.

I dislike those who do wonderful graffiti art.

It feels like such a waste of talent.

Although it does make sitting at railroad crossings much more pleasant.

how is it a waste of talent?

I do graffiti.
My favourite targets are trains. They travel everywhere.
I even got a "love this" sticker on one or two.

<3

Yeah I love that website.
I don't do shitty stuff.
I do good ones, which I put a lot of thought into.
I hate scribblers.
