JOSEPH SANTOS graffiti

After observing the graffiti art only one thing came to mind: a very good friend of mine who is a graffiti artist, legal and illegal. He shall remain anonymous. What I learned was incredible. Tagging is not art, but actual murals are some of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. While I was walking through skid row, and I passed by wonderfully done murals, displaying the art of the community. Alot of these murals can be seen all around LA and people are getting prosecuted. My friend then told me of one spot in which graffiti was allowed, one wall. That is not enough I believe that LA should create more walls for graffiti all across the city. The colors in the can make the grey walls of the city beautiful. Street art should be just as respected as art you would find in a gallery. That is why I enjoyed Bojorquez’s reading about graffiti. he noted the history about graffiti and shined some well deserved arm light on it.
