Urban Street Art

My favourite Art to record currently is the stuff i hear suburban peoples complaining about when i'm out & about snap'n pictures.

One can wander about the city and inner suburbs veiwing some very talented artists who's medium for expression and placement are very real skills. Much as one does at a traditional gallery.

The message is targeted towards those who might not get the meaning.  So, i posted a few examples that have a very definate and clearly presented message.

Common complaint i hear whilst on my wanders: "why do they have to put this SHIT around here" or "I can do better than that" or best still, "look at that idiot taking photos of that rubbish".

Music vs Money

It always does bug me that most people equate a good musician with fame and money.
I would say that those people making generous amounts of money in the music industry (thats a slight clue) are good business people before being good musicians.
Like any craft, there are people who learn fatser than others, there are those who are natural and those who just practice until they get it.  The fact that a def person can learn something associated with hearing says to me, its more about the will to learn.
My biggest musical inspirations haven't ever been pop stars, in fact i know of very few poeple that have played for any length of time who beleave that to be true.
Imagine looking up to someone such as Justin Bebber as a musical inspiration, maybe in an alternate dimension.
I may be crazy, but the charts at the moment are for the insane.
