DarkAngelBGE Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 What do you think is graffiti ? Art or Vandalism ? Also post some links to pictures that you really like, I will show you some of mine (from my own 'Black Book' ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldaron Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Art or vandalism all depends on how well done it is.... Some I've seen r pretty kewl.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaas Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Yep depends on which graffiti. Those guys putting their tag all over town are just a bunch of vandals with no respect for culture and other people. However there are very good graffiti artists.A while ago in Bruges there was a graffiti exposition. The artists were allowed to make their work on buildings all over town. I don't know the names, but those were artists from all over the world, also some Americans.What they did was really spectacular. When you enter bruges you'll find a huge one which is the artist's interpretation of a painting by Memling (famous medieval painter to whom a museum is dedicated in Bruges).I don't have any pictures right now but I'll have a look on Google.

Quacker Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Graffiti in the sense that Klaas is talking about is fine; they're being allowed to spray paint. However, graffiti as most people know it is vandalism, spraying up some store front or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted December 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Yeah I agree with you guys, those who only head for more and more fame and "bomb" the town should be screwed. THose who really make artistic stuff should survive.Here are some of mine (on paper only).http://angelfire.com/folk/darkangelbge/ima...mages/graf1.jpghttp://angelfire.com/folk/darkangelbge/ima...mages/graf2.jpghttp://angelfire.com/folk/darkangelbge/ima...mages/graf3.jpghttp://angelfire.com/folk/darkangelbge/ima...mages/graf4.jpghttp://angelfire.com/folk/darkangelbge/ima...mages/graf5.jpgThey are from 1999, some are from 2000. I even tried portraying some castle and an evil Pinky. tell me if you like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaas Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 You can see some pics of the exhibition here:http://users.pandora.be/filip.vandevelde/primitives/Nice work Tim, you are obviously bored at school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted December 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Awesome work. Well, I don't draw these at school often, just sometimes. I gotta take some photos of some sprayed ones of mine. I doubt there is any of those still *up*. I stopped 3 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 There's a distinct difference between vandalism and art.A vandal's medium is someone else's property, hence wrong.An artist's medium is his own property, or that of a willing participant's, hence right.

King Tutankhamun Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 I agree Michael.Nice work Tim, I like the crazed warewolf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chichigrande Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 I would have to say that it depends where and how good it is. If it's on somebodies property then I would consider graffit, but if it's on bench in the park and looks cool then I would have to call it art.

Brian Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Nice work Tim. I like it. @ Desmond: That isn't a crazed wolf, that is an evil Pinky. He said so himself, you know, the pinky from the cartoon. I forget what cartoon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
