GRAFFITI = VANDALISM

on monday i had the pleasure of visiting the art in the streets exhibit at the MOCA downtown. it was so lovely and inspired me to crack open my art box and create something.
quite a few of the artists i recognized from beautiful losers,
others i was familiar with, and others i had never heard of ever in my life.

these were my favorites:
Erik Brunetti's Lost (Black Female)
a collection of lost animal posters, the purest form of art, drawn in desperation

Banksy's I Hate Mondays
self-explanatory, and particularly applicable since i was JUST thinking about how our society is expected to hate that day of the week, even those of us not working 9-5 monday-friday jobs, which is JUST TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. working in a coffeeshop, i'm certainly exposed to it.. "oh hi are you having the usual today how are you?" "BLAHH ITS MONDAY"
anyway, banksy is hilarious and a genius.

Os Gemeos... i think most of their works are untitled. i can't find an image of the particular one i was looking for, but this was in the exhibit too.

Dash Snow's polaroids. y'all he died two years ago today, july 13. no kidding. i'm quite intrigued by the raw subject of his photographs. here's his page on saatchi

JR's Women Are Heroes - Rio de Janeiro. click here, i guess you can watch the film i don't know my computer won't load it



***I DID NOT TAKE THESE PHOTOS, NOT A ONE OF EM

HOPE ALL Y'ALL ARE INSPIRED TOO~*~
