    i'm with rasko 100%.

    you people will never understand graffiti, where it comes from, and how much influence it has. just because it's on a building doesn't make it art. what the fuck are you talking about 'self called art?' that's 100% of the gallery world. i've seen stuff with way less passion, often trying to immitate what graffiti has.

    beyond illegal graffiti, what do you have to say about the countless permission walls people paint? is that still talentless "self called art?"

    i find this especially surprising coming from a bunch of designers - aren't you supposed to obsess over letterforms, typograhy, compositon and an impecible sense of style?
