a hundred million angels singin

bwahahaha

no u ididots it was writers going over the legal advertisement done by writers. "What's interesting in all of this is that it seems this event has caused a major rift in the graf community in Chicago. Before brands were hiring graf artists to do ads, everyone was out for the same thing. Bombing the streets and gettin' up. But not anymore. What's happened in Chicago is that some of the graf artists are now doing commercial work on the streets and some of them aren't. The artists that aren't doing the commercial work are taking to the streets buffing the work of the artists who are. This has created an all out war on the streets of Chicago as artists are turning against other artists based on their decision of doing commerical work."

The wooster collective is getting closed down for supporting illegal activity. More info here http://www.woostercollective.com

oh yea it happened like a year ago i also found out that the wooster collective is getting closed down.

oh yea it happened like a year ago

this is like the 3rd thread on this

old

So this morning, we wrote a piece for the Wooster site about how graf artists are buffin' out the same work that they are being paid to create through their day jobs. (I know it's a bit confusing, but if you read this morning's post you'll understand why). So, of all of the things we've ever written for the Wooster site (Banksy hittin' the New York museums not included) this morning's piece has generated the most amount of emails of anything we ever put up on the site. The truth is that we've been aware of artists "working on the inside" for a long time but have never written about it until this morning. But that said, we need to clarify something in regards to Axe and Chicago.... In the Axe instance, the artist who was painting over the Axe ad was not the artist who originally painted it. We got the story wrong in translation. Rather, from what we're told what happened was that the artist who painted the ad saw the other graf artists buffin it out and then became pissed that something that he was paid to do earlier was now being fucked with. He then got involved with calling the cops on the other artists. The other artists couldn't believe that another graf artist was turning against them. What's interesting in all of this is that it seems this event has caused a major rift in the graf community in Chicago. Before brands were hiring graf artists to do ads, everyone was out for the same thing. Bombing the streets and gettin' up. But not anymore. What's happened in Chicago is that some of the graf artists are now doing commercial work on the streets and some of them aren't. The artists that aren't doing the commercial work are taking to the streets buffing the work of the artists who are. This has created an all out war on the streets of Chicago as artists are turning against other artists based on their decision of doing commerical work. One other thing we should mention - While some won't agree with us, we actually like the Time, Inc. project on Houston Street done with CopeII and created by Fallon. First, the way we see it, Cope's being paid to do his shit the way he wants to. He's not painting a car or a deoderant or a candy bar, he's creating a fuckin' massive tag. And second, the campaign has got people talking. That's what the best campaigns do. They provoke. Unlike the Axe ads and the Hummer ads and all that shit, the Fallon ad for Time is meant to be controversial. It's meant to provoke. It's meant to get people thinking about this stuff. And for this we applaud Time, Fallon and Cope for a terrific campaign. We don't, and won't, lump the Time ad with all of the others. Nothing is perfect. And for us, the CopeII ads achieve what they are meant to achieve - they get people talking and thinking. They are meant to provoke and they do.

The curfew, which is enforced until dawn, is one of the most severe in the country. Violators can be fined $75. The curfew began last month, following a summer in which rowdy kids flooded Palmer's park, drank beer and caroused late at night. Graffiti was scrawled about, and the bank's night drop-box was filled with trash. In two of the more heinous acts, two chickens were thrown to their death from the grain elevator and the post office's flag was burned and thrown into a portable toilet. "You could tell they were drunk. They'd be hollering obscenities until 1 or 2 in the morning," said Tracy Tull, who lives in a pre-Civil War house across from the park in the town 40 miles southeast of Springfield. "Someone would have ended up getting hurt real bad. People would come speeding through at 60 mph." The big kids would refuse to give up the swings and seesaws, too. "They won't let us play," said 9-year-old Derrick Williams. Some residents blamed kids from outside -- not just the 50 or so here -- saying police crackdowns in nearby towns pushed the party to Palmer. So far, nobody has been caught breaking the curfew, which used to be 11 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends. "It's good because people are not coming to town and getting in trouble, but it's bad that we don't get to see our friends," 15-year-old Amanda Strunk said. Mayor Cayle Davis said the town council will lift the curfew if the children show they can behave. "But it won't be before next spring," he promised. Ken Aldersen, executive director of the Illinois Municipal League, said he is unaware of any town in Illinois that has such an early curfew. If it works, "good luck to them," he said. Russell "Tony" Stockon, 51, thinks the kids got a raw deal. "We turned over outhouses. We took wagons apart and put the pieces on the schoolhouse roof," he said of his formative days in Palmer. "We did a lot more serious things. There are a lot of people in this town who forget they were kids." Still, Stockon did not protest the curfew -- not after teenagers passed up the town basketball court's new lights and picnic tables and congregated at a dark pavilion where electrical equipment was damaged and graffiti etched in the wood. "They brought it on themselves," he said. His sons sheepishly agreed. "He told us a couple of times to pick up trash and we didn't," said Dustin Stockon, 14. "He told us to stay out of the pavilion. But kids from out of town play basketball, and it's too crowded to sit there" under the light. The curfew hasn't killed all the fun. Instead of going to the park, kids now wander around town before curfew and visit one another's homes afterward. "That's kind of hard to police," the mayor admitted. By JOHN O'CONNOR, Associated Press Writer this is my favorite one. Not graffiti but just pure madness among the towns kids. ahahaha these kids should just congregate one night all of them breaking the curfew in utmost protest, resisting arrest it would be awesome.

She's a little philosophical about the fact that there are so many sites that need their help. "They put it up, and we take it down," she said, referring to the graffiti vandals. "It's fun for us, but it seems it would be a waste of money for them buying all that paint." Ciara Clemens, 13, said she had never liked graffiti and jumped at a chance to do something. "It's better to go out and fix it than just sit and complain," she said with a shrug. Hardy, of East Oak Lane, gives up his Saturday mornings, too. It's not because he wants to hang out with children, he said, although it's obvious he enjoys their company. It's not because he wants to be viewed as a nice guy. It's because he grew up in Cobbs Creek, and was once a Transfiguration student himself. "I guess you could say it's my way of giving back," he said, "but I really just look at it as a way of helping." The group has received equipment and logistical support from the city's Anti-Graffiti Network, said Hardy. Money for shirts was donated by Transfiguration School and grateful residents of the 700 block of South Cecil Street after their block was cleared of graffiti in October. Raspino's Supermarket in the 5800 block of Baltimore Avenue has become the children's official sponsor and is planning to honor them with a banquet in March. Though the members of the group are on a mission to beautify their community, they are still children, which means they find ways to have fun even while at work. On Saturday, they were at the intersection of 61st Street and Irving Avenue, painting over graffiti on an apartment building and a small church. "Man, it looks like you stabbed somebody," Andre Robinson, 12, told Brittany Parks, also 12, who was dripping brick-red paint from her hands onto her pink sweat pants. "Oh, please. You're always picking on me," Brittany replied before laughing and running away. A little later, a small group of the children broke out in a screeching rendition of the Rev. Kirk Franklin's "Lean on Me." Hardy watched them with a smile. "This is a good community, and these are good kids," he said. "If you give them an opportunity to do something productive for the community, they'll take that opportunity." Although some may need a slight push. "I don't like graffiti and I want to make the world a better place," Domonique Childs, 11, recited when asked why she participated in the outings. Then she added, smiling: "And my mom and Mr. Hardy talked me into it." this makes me sick. Hopefully its some staged crap or bullshit. it doesnt matter graff cant be stopped no matter how many pathetic attempts are made to attack graffiti it wont be stopped.

''Minors may not possess spray paint or similar materials unless they are used for legal activities sponsored and/or supervised by a parent, legal guardian, employer or teacher. Offenders may be fined and, if they are adults, jailed.'' wtf that doesnt make any sense

its two gorillas having sex

haha that shit reminded me just last week i seen this cop drop his taser and it broke into like a hundred peices. shit was funny.

that cop was a fuck head and that lady was a fuckhead too. stupid asses

when ever you get the urge its good to drink a glass of water and preoccupy yourself with something else from what i hear.

yo thats some of the dopest madgrafftagginbombinwildstysle iv ever seen in my life. Your handstyles be the shit to niggy

thats old i got flicks of that. still cool none the less

yeah, if their "scared of black people" you might not think its enough to classify them as racist, but their being scared is a direct result of racism...if its not, give me another reason.. Quoted post no u idiot being scared of them causes rascism. Racism is a direct result of them being scared. There scared of them and dont understand them so they just make fun of them thinking there better . Just like more than half of America makes fun of terrorists in the middle east even make fun of normal middle easterns who are not radicals or shit like that. THEY ARE SCARED OF THEM, they dont understand them so they just poke fun and talk shit because thats how they feel comfortable knowing there vunerable. Even though the terrorists killed thousands of americans, americans feel comfortable cause they think they are better than them cause their "civilized" and that people with their beliefs (catholic) dominate the middle eastern religions. As far as im concerned i could care less if there are any more terrorist attacks. Quoted post sheesh..did you have to call me an idiot?...c'mon play nice, but seriously..I see what you're saying, it can work that way to, to a certain extent...but in the end, the whole reason why their are scared of them mean old blacks, in the first place ..is because mommy, daddy, fox five, and cops has pumped some blatantly racist ideas into their heads that has fueled that fear...no? Quoted post [/b] yea yea thats true theres a million reasons and its a never ending subject. AS for right now i dont wanna have to worry about this shit.
