When i was a kid, there where two kind of people that used to hide behind masks, criminals and superheroes. Well street artists ain't no superhero, but are they criminals??
I keep seeing graffiti everywhere saying that "Graffiti is Art, not Crime" well i could not agree more, but then let me tell you something, artists dont hide behind masks, hoodies and scarfs. No one loves street art more than i do, but i don't see the point on hiding, i dont see the point on hiding behind a tag or a mask. And now all of you graffiti lovers will point the finger and say, "that is what graffiti is about, it has always been like that. They think we are criminals and therefore we need to hide." You know what? You might just be right, but i also see it like this: "You hide and so they think you are criminals." Vendettas masks will never change the world, that is just a bunch of kids playing revolution, the real revolutionaries are the ones that show their faces and stand by what they believe, no shame, no fear...
I you do it cause you think you look cool, then let me break it to you, there is only one and only one that can wear a mask and look cool at the same time, his name is Vader.
