alright...
so I got forced into comming into the cop shop today to give a statement on a compleatly unrelated case about a meth lab that im trying to establish my non-involvement with...
the female cop noticed paint on my hands... she started questioning me about it and yada yada, to make a long story short... i gave her the most massive agressive lecture on graffiti shes probably ever heard in her life... i totally burnt her...
about how graff is a modern community based form of expressive artwork that the government should do more to recognise as a definitive urban youthful culture rather than a derrogatory form of vandelism, i was telling her about my distaste towards artists putting up artworks on government and corperation owned walls and having them being flat color painted over by fucking assholes that are directly supressing a modern culture that should be given a chance to be more regulated and accepted in society because ultimatly it IS our country and it IS our taxes paying for these buildings...
and would you believe it... she was actually agreeing with me and saying shell dig around and see what she can do to advocate the construction of more legal walls and more forums for the community to talk on graffiti and societies related views... but i realise i have a habbit of talking my ass off.. and as I was walking out i thought to myself........shit......ive just advocated legalisation of graffiti... am i wrong or what? i walked down the street, looked at all the illegal graff (some of it mine) and thought, damn man... part of the culture is about the thrill of doing illegal graffiti.. part of why kids get into it is for a rush and instating their presense in an outlaw culture of people with no rules or regulations..
so unfortunatly.....im quite dissapointed with my form, even though I admit I was high on xanax at the time in the cop shop and probably wasnt thinking all that straight...
I'm sure a lot of you come from places where graffiti is far more accepted than where I'm at... but I think I made a poo argument that I shouldnt have in that cop shop..
or did i?
what are your views?
