  3. I agree to both the leftie and the rightie.

    You can't deny corporate giants like redbull getting involved with graffiti is a bit fucked up and, well.. lame. At the end of the day to them its a marketing plot trying to boost their street cred and establish their image. So long as people see through this, corporate sponsors can be your hook you up. Who doesn't like free shit, right?

    When players like this get involved it does allow artists to get some rewards (cash, product, much deserved coverage, wall space) and take their shit to the next level.. i'm sure some amazing work will come from this and will be a great event.

    Another side factor to consider is that these events usually shine graffiti in a positive light, something that doesn't happen to often in this world. I'm not sure about you, but i wish painting in the streets wasn't sure a big deal. If people see that it can be dope & creative and not just vandalism like its portrayed as in the media.

    The more positive coverage,the more free product to artists and the more opportunities to get some shit up on walls around the country.. the better.

    Whatever. Get off the internet and go paint something ya cunts.

    Peace
