Hi /ic/,

Overrated garbage.
It usually boils down to two categories:
1. Crudely drawn cartoons and letters that would get zero attention if drawn on paper.
2. Left-wing propaganda, usually in the form of stencils.

Love it, street art, graffiti, stenciling, wheatpaste, anything the anarchist's cookbook can teach you to do. I'm all for it.

I hate Banksy tho, and shepard fairey is kind of pushing it as well, lately.
A lot of the street art community are just special snowflakes trying to pose as Anonymous-type figures who think they're better than everyone else.
And I'm sure I'm not the only one whose sick of new kids trying to be cool and edgy by calling everyone a sheep to "the capitalist machine". so nowadays i'm more interested in graffiti.

If you want to watch a documentary, i highly recommend Piece by Piece

"I wanted to be quiet in a nonquiet situation. So I discovered first through reading the gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, and through the study of the philosophy of Zen Buddhism-and also an important book for me was The Perennial Philosophy by Aldous Huxley, which is an anthology of remof people in different periods of history and from different cultures-that they are all saying the same thing, namely, a quiet mind is a mind that is free of its likes and dislikes. You can become narrow-minded, literally, by only liking certain things, and disliking others. But you can become openminded, literally, by giving up your likes and dislikes and becoming interested in things."

I've always wondered how a right wing graffiti artist would fare, if everything was well done and laced with humorous contempt for the prentious, leftist assholes you typically find in the graffiti community. Kinda like anti-graffiti graffiti.
>>
>>2463190
He's a self-righteous edgy prick who thinks he knows better than everyone else. Most of his fan following are the people he insults, and are also pretty retarded.

I can't really put it in words but he seems like a guy whose friends secretly hate him because he'd always go off on rants about 'society'

I m confused..
Obey/Shepard Fairey

>>2463148
should be punishable by beheading

Obey isn't Shepard Fairey. I'd be like meeting Leonardo da Vinci, taking a selfie and saying "me and Mona Lisa"

Ok
I got you..

Fair enough
