Spray On Crosswalk
Out of all the shenanigans your drunk brains could come up with you all decided to paint a cross-walk? I don’t know why I think that’s so funny.
*paints a crosswalk on her soft can-opener* We walk all over you anyway, might as well make it official.
Hey now, don’t go crazy. Make sure they’re crossing a STREET, alright?
Load More Replies...My brother and his mates did a similar thing. They had hivis on and a stop go sign while they were doing it the police came past but didn't do anything!
In the '90s I did something similar, painting a rattle-can yellow "no parking" line to try to preserve access to my driveway. A couple of years later, the council painted it on for real - and added one to all other drives, too. Tourists still ignored them.

Load More Replies...Even though street art, most of the time, is there to send a message, sometimes it is difficult to read into it, or maybe the 'artist' is more driven by an interest in vandalism. Therefore, we were wondering where the line between them is and what the rules of street art are.
“One of the first unwritten rules of street art was not to intervene in monuments or new buildings, but in crumbling or abandoned ones. The street artist, if he is not working on an authorized wall, should choose an old or abandoned wall knowing that his work could be canceled, it is part of street art. Furthermore, street art had to be a way to express protests, to talk about the problems of the world passing through the street. This is in theory. Actually, it doesn't always work that way. I'm talking about tagging, where artists respect these rules less and don't send any message except the affirmation of themselves. However, regardless of the rules that are or are not respected, all cases are different and must be analyzed individually. We also need to recognize the creative value of art that breaks rules and creates amazement, so we often can't decide between admiring a work of art or contesting its location,” shared Barbara.

Oh no! Another influencer. Gotta admit it's more interesting than most though.
Does It Count??
Yeah, he said he got the idea from a guy in Milwaukee Wisconsin US. At least 30 or 40 years ago this guy code to the airport in Milwaukee painted welcome to Cleveland in huge letters on his roof. Both cities in great lakes are of the US, not super far from each other. At first especially, people freaked out, like thought they got on wrong plane
Load More Replies...Because Perth is 4000km (2485 miles) west of Sydney. The other side of Australia.
Load More Replies...Ever since a guy in Milwaukee Wisconsin USA painted welcome to Cleveland on his roof,, near airport, people all over have copied it. I don't blame them - it's hilarious. The guy in Milwaukee, I believe, did his in the 1970s or so. It's still there. I know they did the same thing with 2 airports near London. The guy who was behind that one actually credited the guy in Milwaukee for the idea.
Street art’s purpose is to communicate with people, be it by sending a message, spreading joy or causing amazement. If people do not interact with the art, is there a point in it? Barbara shared her opinion on what role community engagement plays in determining whether a piece of graffiti or installation is considered art or vandalism. “The community obviously plays a big role because this art is found on the street, and, in intention, it should be a common good to share and reflect on. Actually, the community is not always able to understand and value this art, even if, in my opinion, the mentality is changing.”
Damn Squirrels!
yea, once i was playing d&d with a squirrel and just as he was about to roll, i gave him the dice and he shoved it in his mouth and took off! he still won... but thats not the point!
A friend made us a cheesecake in prison. We met outside, where a squirrel came over. After we finished eating, my friend held the lid out for the squirrel to lick, but he grabbed it with his teeth and ran. So Lila goes chasing after him across the grass, yelling "Give me back my lid!"
A Picture Of Some Mild Vandalism, By Yours Truly
Nice
Whether street art is considered an art piece or an act of vandalism also depends on legal frameworks and local regulations that impact the perception and categorization of it. Barbara discussed different cases depending on cities. “One of the places that struck me in this sense was Paris, a city where artists are increasingly using poster art. This means that the works have a shorter life but allows the preservation of a city full of historical monuments and buildings. This already happened years ago in other big historic cities, such as Florence in Italy. Another example of the smart use of street art is the redevelopment of entire neighborhoods which took place, for example, in Rome in the Tor Marancia district. Walls are authorized by local communities, the community gets involved in the whole process and artists often deal with topics of interest to the community. Those neighborhoods also take a new touristic value because street art is increasing interest in this area.”

Happy Valentine's Day
True both ways, really. If you are happily in love and the your darling feels the same, you are a mess. And if it's one sided, we'll that makes you a mess too...
To convey artistic expression, there are steps artists should take into consideration for their work to be viewed as an art piece. Barbara shared some ethical guidelines that should be followed by the community: “As I have already said, the first thing is to choose to create their works in places that do not have an architectural or historical value. Anyway, they should respect some common sense rules, for example, not to intervene on new or recently renovated buildings. Another possibility is to use adhesive and avoid damaging the building itself. Also, in my opinion, they should focus more on problems of common interest and less on themselves. For the same damaged place, in fact, a tag has a different value from a work that deals with social or environmental problems.”
And lastly, Barbara added: “I think street art is a great tool to spread beauty and important messages about the world. As in everything, in my opinion, common sense and intelligence should be used. I address both street artists and users of their art.”

Technically Mild Vandalism
Would this count as vandalism on tho? You need to pay someone to remove what some people would call damage Other than that I think it’s quite smart It’s a bit those street shoe cleaners that clean one of your shoes for free so you see the difference and pay for the other shoe to be cleaned as well
Now I am curious about the technical aspects of how they did this. Maybe an adhesive vinyl stencil they peeled off afterwards? Similar to what is done for some glass etching. A "regular' stencil would likely lift up under the water pressure and not give you such crisp lines.
Indeed, it looks more that they added dirt instead.

Sorry, not sorry, they do. I had to get a new phone a while back because I lost mine. Of course, I wanted a Galaxy, k that is all I have ever had, my Galaxy 1 lasted 6 years before I had to upgrade) but they were on back order for a couple days. The workers then told me "we have a ton of the new Apple phones". Hard pass. 1st, I will never do an iPhone, I hate there operating system, there is no back button. 2nd, when one is back ordered, and you have too much of the other, that tells me which phone is better and more in demand. I waited without a phone (which was kinda great, tbh) for about a week, and then me and my Galaxy lived happily ever after
I've owned both and you are right to dislike them :D I tried the 11 pro max, despised the system, the lack of personalization, their music options etc. And the cost! I paid as much for it as I paid for my last car. Android, preferably LG, all the way. Galaxies are nice but LG are half the price and ahead on everything from Ram to OS

Punctuation people! If you didn’t understand it at first, like me, there’s meant to be a comma after Jesus. Technically though this is wrong anyway, the Bible says God and his name is higher than all, including Jesus (“how majestic your NAME is… even higher than the heavens” Ps 8:1, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So my ways are higher than your ways” Is 55:9, and according to Jesus’ own words [if you take it all literally or face value] “the Father is greater than I am” John 14:28) - so many people try and quote scripture or ‘preach’ to others having probably never even read it. The NAME was so great and holy, it became Jewish tradition not to even speak it out loud so over the years it was taken out of Bible translations. If you’ve ever read or seen the Bible and noticed sometimes LORD is in all caps, that’s where the original Hebrew name was removed and substituted with a title.

I did this at a friends place once. They did a long holiday and I was visiting their place to look after their cats. Bought two fifty packs of googly eyes in different sizes and a roll of two sided tape. Went around the house sticking them to random things. Basically if there was a face it was fair game. Family portraits, pic of the cat, dude on the calendar (but several months in so they didn't find it straight away). Some bottles/cans with faces on them in the fridge and pantry. A couple random DVD covers. Made sure it was nothing that would be damaged of course. Gave them a laugh more than once because they obviously started finding them when they got back from the trip, but they were still finding them weeks or months later. Not sure whether they've got all of them yet to be honest.

Load More Replies...If they are truly feminists (which I am one), why do they have nail polish to signify that they are girls?
Because feminism is about letting women making choices about who they are. If they want nail polish, that's fine, and that's not sign they do not want equality in human rights. Now, in terms of the poster, maybe the target audience are women as they are traditionally expected to look like. I'm not saying the manicure considerations couldn't be improved, but we're missing the forest here, which is having a diversity of skin colours.
