. . . that there is at least
one web site dedicated to the art of graffiti? They carry
paint designed specifically for the practice. I learned about this stuff watching the CBS news show
Sunday Morning, because they did a story about graffiti in Paris this morning.

There's even an
exposition featuring graffiti that will run through the month of April in Paris. Check out the
artistes.

Don't get me wrong. I have
seen graffiti. I just haven't always viewed it as art.

Jordan's graffiti wall and his dog, Bugsie
Several years ago, when my oldest son was living in his first house, he loved breakdancing, and put in a hardwood, mirrored niche in his basement specifically for this particular form of fun exercise. He hired an artist to paint one wall of the niche with graffiti. It was awesome. (J also made a
grinding rail that he would pull out into the driveway when he got home from school or work. I recall that he was pretty popular with the neighborhood kids.)

And now I'm doing graffiti. Who would have thought! One piece I did is framed and hanging in the house where J and his wife (and Kiran) live.
Another is waiting for a companion piece before they both get cut up and crafted into a purse for my youngest son's girl.
I'm sad that there is only one more week of my online Graffiti Chic class with
Alisa Burke. I had so much fun making art with this group. It has been so
liberating!
But for now I've got to run. The wind is perfect for working on my scribble.
Peace out.
