Another moment


In October I made a post on a chalk drawing that I found in Birmingham city centre. In response to that, this post is focusing on styling the streets in a less positive manner. The chalk drawing was beautiful and I talked to you about how it almost, in a way, made peoples day as they walked by in the hustle and bustle. In Dosthill, my second home and usually nice place to be in, I came across this graffiti. This, thought provoking and negative etching into the wood got me thinking. Whilst the chalk made think, smile and appreciate, these words made me think about society, the way we live, and curious to meet the person who thought this. Without a doubt I support graffiti, well to a degree, but I just think whether its art or an opinion people walk past, not even taking any notice, but yet I bet they'll be bringing the subject up in conversation later. It is an unacknowledged influence in our lives I think. If the world were perfectly clean, would it even be interesting?

Sterling for your thoughts?
