Thanks for the kind words, Kristoffer. We’re lucky to have this site as a resource. One note, though: Taylor would probably be pretty surprised to learn he’s vita.mn staff!

Anyone care to clue me in on the story behind this? I was driving through Uptown a few hours ago and saw these behind the very posh house.

Really digging this. The owner of the place must be cool indeed.

I have a tough time seeing a reason to criticize the splasher. Any act of expression lays itself open for response, even if the response seems uninspired.

We should rather condemn the choices of graffiti artists who…

- leave their art at risk
- use space illegally
- hide behind the ridiculous idea that grafitti is the voice of the urban artist, and should be protected.

Long live the splashers.

Comment on Splasher Taken Out? by kristoffer

Here's the latest from Gothamist thread. Unfortunately, I got word last night that the trouble we've been having here in Minneapolis with a certain tagger has turned violent. This, of course, will only escalate things - evidenced already by the dis I see this morning across the street. For the sake of all of us trying to support what goes up on the walls...let it go.

Comment on Just a Couple More Clouds, Then Sunshine by emma

I received this email as a reply to the blog/linked article. Since I come at this as the art supporter and not the artist…I thought I should share this artist’s view:

here it is:
art is unrewarding in terms of making a living but making art is like a
drug. the act provides more powerful bliss than anything else i do. it
would be nice to be a doctor or a lawyer or some other rich person…i’d
rather be poor and high.

artists…I do love you,
emma
