Stencil Graffiti walking through a museum called the streets
New York City the walking artwork to many graffiti artist and stencilers. Have you ever wonder the reasons for many of these work? Why would people risk their freedom of getting arrested to do a little graffiti or stencil? Its because this is another way to get the message out there for others to know what they believe. A lot of times when I walk down the busy streets of New York City i look at all the graffiti paintings and the stencils and the reason why they did it. Some of them are pretty obvious like the one i posted, but others convey a serious message. The stencil I uploaded is against war and it says No war against Iraq this is a interesting stencil because the person seems to portray as a bandit and rebel type of role with a bandana but at the same time the person is against war. So the artist shows that even violent people can even be against war. Next time you walk down the streets and you see free art on the streets take a second to look at it and decode the meaning. Let our streets be a canvas and let the people be the artist...
