knittaplease

it's vandalism that can be removed - "friendly" because it's not damaging anything and accents otherwise boring parts of buildings, signs etc. it also brightens up someones day; everyone loves a bit of knitting.

the real issue with all of this is that your trying to associate yourself with a subculture that you don't understand. then you wonder why it rejects you. if you want to be a part of something it helps to understand its roots until then you will simply be treading water as you remain stuck in an abyss of mediocrity. by all means knit as you see fit and when i see one in public i will cut it down as i see fit to do

I don't think they're trying to become part of the traditional graff subculture. I think you're making assumptions and wrongly feel your toes are being stepped on with this. It's not traditional graff and no one's saying it is. What it is, though is a form of vandalism that could also be considered art.

being offensive is part of graff sugar. if your gonna do it get over it. not everyone likes public vandalism. don't worry about talent, you don't have any.

Too bad your 'talent' at being obnoxious far out weights anything else worth while you might do... oh wait, flaming youtube is soooooooo worthwhile I forgot.

Let this anonymous person bow down before the unknown greatness your anonymous person must be. I'm such a fool it was all about childish insults and writing on the walls with crayons the whole time!

Wouldn't it be a better rebuttal if you feel strongly about your graff to actually do some that states your opinion here and post it?

naw i'm actually a pretty happy guy myself. i'm just tired of people harping about darfur like its the be all end all of tragedies. it seems to me that most people who talk about it are just attempting to make themselves look politically aware. there are atrocities happening around the globe in places like north korea and india yet everyone cries about darfur.

I have a ton of respect for the people who feel strongly enough about a issue to actually go to the location and attempt to make a difference. that is essentially the only way a difference can be made. throwing money at a problem doesn't make it better but if it keeps you hopeful, then by all means waste your dollars.

Plus, if you knew anything about feminism and the history of women, you would realize that you are being sexist. The mere fact that you think that they need to fit into your male ideal of tagging or graff is exactly what motivates women's groups such as these to infiltrate the landscape with a knitting, a form of craft often associated to women. You need to build some critical thinking skills and maybe take a history class-- one that includes women's history. P.S Bansky is awesome. :P

@sacredstarlett. Speaking of history none of these people know anything about where the history of graff comes from and why it has stemmed from the US into a worldwide movement embraced by both guys and gals. There are tons of lady writers and street artists who have tons of respect not because they are girls but because the quality of their work is undeniable. you want respect but fail to observe why is respect is given in the community. the issue isn't gender its quality of work.

interesting... considering graffiti is as old as walls
