Random notes from the underground ch.3


2011 Yuri Endo
A graffiti found around Hondae station. It's nothing too intriguing, yet I'm fun of its colors.

Luckily or unluckily, graffiti nowadays is becoming considered as high art rather than the sign of social corruption or vandalism which I would like to let my mother, who used to tell me "where there's a graffiti, there's a crime," know. ( It actually does make sense. The crime rate in NYC said to be dropped significantly after wiping out graffiti and brothels under Giuliani. Moreover, think about some American or French movies, the high schools where all the delinquents go to is filled with eye-abusing graffiti. In nay case, those films usually start out with a open scene where some teenagers shop-lifting or tagging their names somewhere in the "hood".
