heavyLox Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 there was a while in the early-mid ninties when vandals in india (?) were painting political slogans on the sides of cattle. Cattle being sacred (to hindus?) are left to there own devices; if there in your way you go around. Thus the cattle roamed the country with red political graffiti on them unhindered and most certanly unbuffed. slightly fuzzie on the hard facts but you get the gist.... sorry no flix just the memory.... looks good on ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishaco Posted July 29, 2002 Author Share Posted July 29, 2002 from dictionary.com : graf·fi·to Pronunciation Key (gr-ft) n. pl. graf·fi·ti (-t) A drawing or inscription made on a wall or other surface, usually so as to be seen by the public. or , as i originally wrote at the top of this thread : graffiti is a communications medium . i believe that we as purveyors of this art have an enormous amount of power . i think we should use that power . the girl in the first photo is having her say against the isreali army in an occupied country . this weblog from palestine will give you some insight about whats happening . additionally , to answer : "is it graf...? just because its done with a can, does that make it graf? " some things contribute to the art and some do not . yer right dusty , spray painting kkk on headstones is mindless , useless hatred and is not graffiti . not every painted thing is art . furthermore , most things you see in the media are not news stories either . $ .02 , http://www.mishaco.com/single.gif'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
