Back in the dark ages of dating, you would have to take the word of your friends that the blind date they are setting you up with is not a psycho cat collector with a record. After the date from Hell, you would report back to your friends that if they ever tried to set up again you would strike them off your Christmas list or worse yet do the same to them…

Change! Hope!… are words which are spreading around with Obama and it seems that almost everyone stands behind him so far. BUT will the States get the expected change or will Obama be another marionette of a new generation of hardliners behind the scenes who are messing up their power. I am following up the election with big interest because we dont know yet what will change and how it will effect us. Locally and more important for me: Globally.
Since Graffiti become cool to advertise with, digital artists also discovered the power of it and several projects were created.
On the one hand its great for the creators and of course for the users to deal with an illegal thing like graffiti in a legal environment but on the other hand those projects cause for people who are actually still doing it. The more attention graffiti is getting, the more problems it causes for people who are actually doing it. Newspaper write about it and those who dont accept and value graffiti as a puplic artform starting to output their anger and talk about it. And if society is talking about it cops are forced by authorities to focus even more on catching sprayers.Special forces double and writers getting fucked.
Is it killing the real culture of graffiti more than supporting it? Or is it bringing graffiti to a new level like GraffitiReaseachLab is doing with their work? All in all, Graffiti works well for brands and advertising people selling their products (like Marc Ecko did it with stillfree pimping up the lame image of his hip hop streetwear “Ecko” whatever) but sadly the ones who are actually doing it every night will never get a benefit of it. Stay true to the game.
