Seth McFarlane found his calling...

art

This article is relevant to my interests... not only because I had recently visited Brazil and took note of some of the amazing street art, but also because it brings up several interesting aesthetic and social implications. Does street art suddenly lose it's influence and credibility when it is taken into the controlled and heavily political "art world" of main stream galleries? Take an artist like Shepard Fairey whose artwork is extremely political in it's own right, has he not gained more interest and favor because of his ability to show in galleries? Or has this made his message mere drivel on the wall of some lawyer who is suing a grandmother because her 13 year old grandson downloaded two Ramones songs? Just something to think about...

I could watch this all day...
