I like graphiti, but not those graphiti tags that pleig (sp?) the city of Ottawa. I like political statement tags. For example, just today I came across a real good one. The new McD's slogan is "It's all good" But someone out their with a wry sence of humor pasted a word over top so that it now reads "It's all fat". Brilliant.
Also, there is this one artist who draws on buses and in the downtown core. These little meloncolic monsters. Some times it's a monster walking his heart-broken dog. Other times, a monster that's scared. They all make you think, and the style is fabulous. Sorta like a single line for their intire body and some extra detail around the eyes and belly button. They are the kind of thing that are so ugly they're loveable, kinda like that short pet craze with the "skinny pig".
