I can see what you are saying to some extent, I have seen enough wildstyle letter pieces to last me a lifetime, though even today I saw this book
and was blown away by some of the pieces.And there are artists out there that take it to different levels, I presume you have heard of people like delta, kaws, zeds and doze to name a couple..
and besides that you talk about fame and getting into a 'cool' 'art scene', well how bout maybe you missed the essence of graff, you actually seem to be thinking about graff from the viewpoint of someone inside a 'cool' 'art scene' which in itself is hypocritical.

and nayades, the word 'fame' in the graff context is not about getting on TV or in an art gallery, it is largely about having fame within an esoteric circle, as dondi said, when he wants the public to read pieces he writes straight letters, when he wants to piece for writers he uses wildstyle.
Dondi - RIP.

I see, you're lumping in mediocrity with the rest.
Now it makes sense...

well gilt, no matter how sweet or nice those images are. graffiti has advanced very little, not to say nothing, in the last 15? 20 years?
what does that mean?

but nayades - we still all use helvetica for example - and that's been around for 100 years or so... the tools are the same but the message changes. that's what's important. a reflection of someones situation at the time - someones thoughts + medium and execution = output.blah...

"some people produce stuff that resembles stuff they like.
some people actually DO graff or stencil pieces in the street.
some people just moan about everything with nothing to show.

Sure it's pretty overdone. Sure we are all a little sick of it. But you still cant deny that it looks pretty cool, and you'd put it on your wall.
