Luzr Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I did'nt like how that sounded either. If it was the mag's fault or no? I think know what they meant, but it struck me as some bullshit. From my guesstimates, they're not "artsy fags", but what they do is definatly art in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 people only call graffiti 'art' when they're trying to sell it to someone who doesn't understand it's inherent value. personally, i like how they handled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 graff (to me) is about dedicating yourself to something, simply for personal satisfaction. it's about pushing yourself when you suck, and continuing to push even when you're decent. it's about hiding in bushes, hanging out with friends and experiencing shit that most other people will never get to. there is an 'art' in the process, but the product is just that: a product. the better it looks, the better you are at the process. it's like taking a test in school. you didn't learn all that shit to pass the test, you learned it so you'd know it, the test is just the proof. i have no interest in calling what i do "art". why would i? so i can make my family feel better about it? so i can get some gallery to put it up on the wall, so some bitch ass hipsters with no balls can latch onto something that makes them feel like they're not chicken shit cowards? no thanks. i don't care if people don't 'get' it. i'm not gonna blow smoke up someones ass and tell them i paint it to make the city look more exciting, i don't, fuck the city and fuck other peoples happiness. i paint for me and i paint for my friends. sometimes i want to paint for the haters, just to send a little 'simmma down nuuuh' message, but honestly, i don't even care about haters. maybe i should, but i don't. so no, i don't think what i paint is art. if some people feel that way, that's fine, i won't argue against it, but it's not my intention. i just like painting.

HP635 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 In the article, dFunk poses the question of "do you think what you do is art" and Eggs replies in kind that no it's not and that art is something completely different. So what exactly is art to him? Personally, I think if dFunk would have thrown in "an" right before "art" in the question, it would have changed the question drastically. Instead of looking at the "product", they would be looking at the overall process of graffiti: picking your tools, scoping spots, trespassing, pulling off the job, getting out safe, etc. If that was the case, then fuck yeah, there is an "art of graffiti" just as there is an "art of programming" or an "art of making friends". Some people are inherently good at some types of art-forms while others have to work their ass off to get to even a mediocre level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashtray Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 the act of graffiti is pretty much just spraying "art" on a wall.. in my eyes. there are exceptions though, depending on your ultimate purpose, i guess. even if you dont consider your graff "art". its still being creative, your taking your skill in the area of "art", and just putting it on the street rather than in an art show. thats just my opinion.. its one in the same, just applied differently!

seeking Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 no, dude was right, half of 'yous' does suck at graff. if you need to be high to think otherwise, i think that just further proves his point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janell Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 The question is not “is graffiti art?’ the real question is what is truly art? Plato believed that if art serves no purpose in the community it should be discarded from his republic. Eggs was right, he is not an artist. His work serves no purpose. All it does is fuck up Detroit. That is not how I feel about graffiti it has a meneing the Leather Jackets are misrepresenting themselves and others. The city is depressed and paintings bring joy and happy ness to a hopeless society they show and caper pure freedom that one day we may all achieve. The expression of an idea is an act of art and panting is just a way to portray an idea. It is all so enjoyable and art is nonobjective so to rate it is an insult. Seeking you does not know what art is. Mindless painters Smoke a fat blunt with a pregnant 13 year old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
