I really enjoyed this article and it's open non-biased take on the artistic side of graffiti. Often times people like to characterize graffiti as a simply destructive form of art, if even art at all, with hardly any value to the public. Being that I grew up in the presence of graffiti artists and my artistic identity is molded heavily by the types of works I've seen in urban settings, I've never been able to grasp the negative perception tied to graffiti or the social stigma around it, with people perpetuating the opinion that it has no value and minimizes the beauty of our urban landscape. As Banksy and Shepard Fairey have both stated before in various interviews/documentaries (although I think they're somewhat overrated) we do not have much of a say if any at all in regards to the media/advertisements our lives are subject to observing. If we do not get to decide whether we see ads, or what ads we see, why should anyone have the right to deny someone's desire to p...

I agree with the point that a lot of our generation's perceived indifference or indecisiveness has a lot to do with our collective over exposure to images, media and stimuli, resulting in everyone being entirely oversaturated.

Pluralism has pros and cons, considering that it eliminates the connotations behind difference and encourages everyone to embrace any and all perspectives, tastes, and opinions. However, it minimi...

Concepts (figures to be oriented once I know which one works best currently)

About the Space: What type space are you creating? A surreal type space combining natural elements with artificial Why? That's the type of world I live in, especially when traveling  What kind of images do you need to collect to create this space? I need to collect images of myself as well as images of areas I would inhabit. I am an actively practicing photographer so I've planned to use exclusively my own pictures, so my piece can be 100% original Where do you need to go to take pictures? I might need to go explore some more but honestly I probably have enough in my archive that I won't need to take any more  How does the created environment relate to your portraits? I want to use portraits that illustrate my states of mind, and my environment is typically a direct reflection of that  Will people other than you appear in this image? They may, I have a lot of images with my friends in them as well What mood are you trying to create? I want the mood to be...
