Street Art

There were train crossings all around our house and all around Akron, and although it was a little inconvenient to whatever I was doing, I enjoyed getting that first spot in front of the tracks. It’s not really the trains that I was interested in; I just loved watching the graffiti pieces go by, wondering who painted them, and the purpose and meaning behind it. Since then, I’ve had this fascination with the entire street art culture and all of its forms be it huge train pieces, stencils, basic tags, just everything really. It was always interesting to me because it just blows my mind, and still to this day, the control people can have over a can of paint when creating these massive pieces on trains and walls. The artistic ability of the writers and the expression of a culture through art is just really interesting to me. Some may disagree with me and my consideration of it as a form of art rather than vandalism, but we will just agree to disagree
