Graffiti -- "Expression" (Size 13M)

About the shoes:
I meant to do a shoe portraying how the media and other people are generally against graffiti and how they don't really treat it as an art form. Sure, there may be people who practice it that are a bad influence toward kids - crews and gangs and stuff - but it's portrayed as if everybody who does it is related in some way to a gang. On the left shoe, the question mark and the peace sign show my feelings toward graffiti. If the opportunity was given to me, I'd be more than happy to help any politician out who wants to change how things are represented.

About Emilene (Jefferson High School):
In my free time... I like listening to music and drawing.
Music... My favorite music currently is electro, but I like a lot of different music.
Sports... My favorite team is the Dodgers - they better do well this year!
For whoever buys my shoes... I hope that they wear it. Then it will leave whoever sees the shoe with the question, "Is it really vandalism, or should it be considered art?"

yeah its really the same here you have a core group of people who really understand the art forms and the ideas where it came from etc

of course, the art of rebellion,you wouldn't understand unless you live in the hood like us. Their is a distinct aesthetic value in some of these pieces that rivals the most well known impressionist controversies, but only a hand full ca really comprehend the feelings and ideologies behind.
