When I use the term “graffiti,” I bet your first reaction is negative. If I use the term “street art,” does that negative gut reaction settle a little bit? Does your mind open up to possibilities?
The street art included in this newsletter came to me via an email chain letter. I enjoyed the creativity of the anonymous “artists" so I thought I’d share these photos with you unsolicited—the way these artists wanted to share their ideas with their respective neighborhoods. No one likes it when people use public space as a canvas for scrawled names or initials called tagging—but when the ideas and messages are genuinely creative, positive and entertaining we tend to let our guard down and maybe have a laugh. Does that mean I’m getting soft in my typically anti-graffiti sentiment, or is this NOT graffiti? You be the judge.
Hope you’re having a happy summer.
