DAVID: it's better than going postal!

Since the beginning of time humans have evolved many forms of expression, early art works depicted the daily life of the artists community, these initial art works known today as cave or rock painting were often violent blood lusty hunting scenes of dinosaurs with spears in them and cave men dragging unconscious women around.



However detached from the images one may consider art today, these images were expressions of the lives of the cave men.

The world has evolved, and society has become a very complex and vastly spread entity, we now have words like atrocity. genocide, pollution, hate and govern.

I would like to talk about the latter of these words, the word govern, as I say it I get a funny feeling, anyone who has ever tried to control someone or something might identify with me. This world has decided that for progress and longevity, humans must be controlled. It only takes a look into the running of any major city to see this.

As we have established that some humans are expressive characters and that this is a controlling world, it seems to me that the colourful artworks and anti establishment slogans that society has chosen to call graffiti actually evolved in direct relation to society, or shall we say as a result of.

For example I may have to work in a mail room for a big company, I spend my days cooped up in the basement of a multi story building, I am the bottom rung of society… how am I heard?




Better yet if these slogans or signs of counter culture didn’t exist would humans ever stop and think, in a way graffiti offers a freedom to these people even if it is only momentary within there daily lives.



I guess this is pretty loose, but I feel it kinda explains my need to express myself in a public place.
