take a look around - is it just me or has this cult-ure become stale, inbreed, and repetitive?

all I see are office cubes and a hint of sunlight off to the left, so yes I guess you're right.

I've got the OBEY Giant face on my sticky bulletin board in my office.
I wanted to cover the wall behind my desk with it, but I thought management might get angry with me using so much paper and toner...

I may be wrong but I think it kind of odd that most graffiti writing has to conform to a certain general style.

That's going to depend on how much MTV your audience has watched.I saw the words "To Consume is to die" on my way home last night. They obviously didn't use any caps for their spraycan. Genious I thought. It's all in the statement.

Are you saying a certain trendy audience is going to expect a certain trendy style?
- QuincyArcher0

"To Consume is to die" ?
I can't wait until there's a demand for street art that isn't just some malcontent wankning off, but actually something that makes sense.You need to consume oxygen, food and water... but you DON'T need to buy spray paint to live.

Define street art... do you mean grafitti? or the work that embodies the street?
Graffiti is boring and repetetive... only people like Banksy are keeping it interesting. Im so sick of GW Bush face stencils, with something like "liar" beneath... played out.
However, there is a ton of artists off the street making great stuff on paper and board. The net is full o em. Just gotta look harder.
Futura 2000, Sam Flores, Neckface, etc.

yes. remeber when people used to laugh in your face if you said you liked the european styles? Now ever bomb you see looks like an Italian train bomb circa 1999.

trendies come and go, they jump on a bandwagon, call them selves writers even though they're just putting up 2 stickers or a stencil and then they fuck off to moan about how 'played' it is on the internets.
So fuck off, go on now, run along toys.
