If you don’t own a train company then you go and paint on one instead. It all comes from that thing at school when you had to have name tags in the back of something.. that makes it belong to you. You can own half the city by scribbling your name over it.
— Banksy (via banksystreetart)

tick tock.
juggler. west buffalo, ny. may 2010.
this is a mural near grant & west ferry in buffalo. it’s clearly an ad for a party business, but it reminded me a little of bankys style- without satirical political undertones, of course.

woodcum on flickr. russian artist, looks like he has influences from graffiti, street art and grunge. kinda love it. click through for his website.
[I am] a painter first and foremost. If you asked me that 10 years ago I would have said a graffiti writer but now as I get older I’m trying to shake off all those labels. It’s a strange position for a lot of us these days. We come from graffiti and street art but now we want to move beyond that. Thats why I like the term post-graffiti a lot. It sounds pretentious but its the label that I find most accurate really. I used to do graffiti. now I paint. But I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing now if I hadn’t painted on the streets. Simple.
