Just thought I'd pass along a link to a graffiti artist that has completely floored me with his talent.
Dyset of the DFM Crew, Germany

I like the way the backgrounds use a lot of graphic elements, some pieces remind me a bit of Loomits stuff.

I love shok's grenade piece. That's really coo'. His graffiti looks a lot like Loomit's.

Oh and how could I forget DAIM!! By the way, that's not a real bee with an explosive thorax, that's all paint (on his main page, that is).

I'd rather go to a art museum.
- Gilt0010
What would you do at the art museum?
- Mimio0
Look at art by mature artists.

I think I know what you mean Mimio. But I think it's a strectch to say that NO spraypaint medium can be considered art

"Look at art by mature artists"...
Of course, why didn't I know that at first. I mean, art only spews from all-black wearing, book-wormish, pseudo-beatniks. Or neo-hippies in their mid-fifties pulling down six figures a year. I always forget that capitalism is an art form.
- Mimio0
It's safe to say that content-devoid decoration isn't art. Honestly, most graffiti I've seen is more concerned with elevating the tagger than communicating anything at all. People have such reverance for it, it makes me wonder if it will ever grow as an artform without some sort of serious critique.
- rasko40
the point is Mimio, the majority of graffiti isn't trying to be an 'artform' per se, its a subculture and fair enough a lot of it is junk but lets face it, it was greedy gallery owners and uptight art critics that chose to debate the subject.
- Mimio0
Yeah rasko,
Or people who are just plain tired of seeing the tagger du jour's name 8-feet high everywhere.
- Gilt0010
Wait mimio, so if you're calling graffiti 'content-devoid' (and I'm talking about the graffiti in the link I posted specifically) what does that make Jackson Pollock.
People fall all over his shit, and they make it art (by elitist definition) by calling it 'Abstract Expressionism'.
I'd get much more feeling, movement and expression out of a Dyset, Totem, Daim or Loomit piece than I would Pollock.

Andre the Giant has a posse
