Do you

Find this offensive?

Is vandalism art? Or is street art vandalism?

How about these?







All of these, by the way, are by Banksy, from Bristol. The last, of the girl and the heart balloon, I want to get a tattoo of. Bansky and Roadworth, from Montreal, are my favourites. Do you have any favourite street artists? Or do you think they should all be locked away?

well, we are in the vial security week or something like that...
there is something I don´t understand about the second one, or maybe it´s very obvious or I´m a bit stupid at this hour... ah!! he´s pissing...!!! great!
the last one is very beautiful in a Chaplin way.

I like street art, there is not too much here now, only explicit politic stencil consignas. And they are quickly painted over by the wall owners (there was one in an entrance´s side of my departamento some months ago, you could see there the faces of the three members of the militar junta during the last dictadura behind the rejas, below that something like "jail to the torturadores" and below that the name of the politic party. When I decided to take a photo of it, I realized it was painted over. Last year there was a muestra of street art in the Poetry House of the city. I recognized there old ones that they are no more in the streets.
One that I like and it´s still all over the city is the stencil of a bike in natural size. I´ll look for some images in internet.

For me it's bad taste but it's out there to be seen by all and judge by all.

i don't get it. what is the borders on the film with jfk, is that how the image looked originally or is it a recreation?

the 9/11 sign would be a better memorial than whatever monstrosity theyre going to be building at ground zero. more discrete and tasteful.
