Just saw some up in williamsburg near brooklyn brewery. I think graffiti is stupid and a waste of time for VA. the robots just aren't earth shattering pieces of art their worth as valuable intellectual insights is insipid at best. and that's probably the point. i like bender too. he really should paint something. you know eventually.
Graffiti: the point is to tag an area where degridation has encompassed an object or neighborhood. In laymans terms to say hey this wall, this building is f'd up yet there is nice construction going on all around this site and to say hey why leave this messed up. Money is being poured in to fix everything but this. So lets tag it so it at least gets painted and if that doesn't work then maybe they'll take it down or fix it. Another aspect of graffiti is the gain of fame as a writer, with most writers in Richmond being freshman VCU art students in love with the idea of notoriously being known, and a select few being arrested before they've had the chance to start a career as professional artist I do think it is a waste of time here. You won't gain fame unless you're reallly smart and tactful as a writer, I knew those writers they were smart most have left richmond when the crackdown started people like AKER, BZEE, EXPERT, REPAE, PENIS, KAES, and KARMA86. Feel free to talk about graffiti when you know more about what has happened here in the last few years. We can even talk about the toys like ACE, DEREK (both arrested in the last few weeks), SUNK, RANSOM, ICEONE, YO, JAE. You LOLed and you don't have to put my words in quotations when quote me right before that, I think we got it. Furthermore bring it but do your research first.
I LOVE these!! Another great photo series.

LOL! What? Are you willing to elaborate on that dismissal? Why is it a "waste of time" for Virginia?
