it's because you can't recreate the hub of a city. JSQ is the hub of jc the real 'downtown' in every sense. downtown jc is a literal name because it is cut off by the hills.. there was never anything 'downtown' about it. it was just another neighborhood.
the #OOPS# are you talking about

You on crack or somethin, son? Also I wrote Fulop a letter once about a concern I had and the guy called me up personally to discuss it with me. Also he posts here fairly often about things he's trying to do in the council. So you're full of shit imo.

Re: For Graffiti Artists in Jersey City -- Texting Replaces Tagging

To the anti-graffiti people: what's your opinion of the mural on the side of Hudson County Art Supply? Do you think it looks nice and makes the neighborhood more lively and beautiful? If so, is there much difference between that and a mural painted on an unused wall across town?

Also, I completely understand the desire to have your property protected. My entire block once (in Newark) was defaced by some scumbags with no talent. But there's a difference, I think, between wanton destruction of personal property like that, and creating art in otherwise unused spaces.

I think morally, doing graffiti on other peoples' property is terible, especially if you know they are not going to enjoy it. Taggers, that just throw up awful signs and names in 2 minutes, often do stuff on vans and populated buildings or storefronts with no regard for anyone's feelings about it.

However, I think you can morally justify painting a mural or drawing on an abandoned building, or in an alleyway, or on a storefront grate, if you think that it is being put to better use that way.

If it's a blank, ugly wall under some bridge, or a neglected rooftop, it might technically be somebody's property, but what is it being used for? This gives it a use.

Great article. In the end these "artists" are just posers trying to get laid and make money on their outlaw image. They all shop at Urban Outfitters and they're as original as Tarantino which means NOT. A few hours curled up in the fetal position, crying in a holding cell will set them right.


Haha, what? What an absurd tirade, no offense but it sounds like you have some serious issues with hipsters or something. I wouldn't step foot in an Urban Outfitters, though.

As for originality, some fantastic art (and then some) has come out of graffiti culture; I'm not speaking strictly of the graffiti culture you think of when you think graffiti, either. Yeah, in the 80's all the NYC train writers ended up all over the galleries, but what about the Situationist graffiti done by Students in France once upon a time?

I know graffiti artist who were painting trains back in NYC in the early 80's that are still alive and kickin' and doing the same thing. I know plenty of graffiti artists who have spent time in a holding cell, and aren't stopping any time soon.

Whether you like it or not, this form of vandalism has worked through a system of twists and turns and become a form of fine art. It will have ups and downs, but it isn't going anywhere.

If it weren't for graffiti, I would have never shown any interest in art, and if it weren't for that, I would have never gone to art school.

I'm sorry to come at you like this, but I've gotta defend something that means a lot to me. If it weren't for graffiti, I'd have probably turned to drugs to get my teenage kicks. And I have met a lot of youth in my travels who are into graffiti, and if they weren't doing that, they'd probably be breaking into your cars or some other shit.
I got all riled up about that post as well but I think Vigilante was talking specifically about guys like Sherpard Fairey, and not crews that do trains and walls.

Also, graffiti is what inspired my interest in art as well. I stopped painting on the street years ago though, and now do stuff on canvas (still using spraypaint though)

Wow. Nice comeback. You really put me in my place. I like graffiti now. Check out your hero Shepard fairey:

ha what. Shepard Fairey is my hero? I...what?

Shepard Fairey sues people and puts copyrights on his art. He's a #OOPS#. The guys I admire are guys that do stuff like this (I took this picture, actually, and just stumbled across it on Google!)

http://www.graffiti.org/nj/newark2005_theswarm.jpg

That was on an abandoned building (since demolished) in an empty lot. They (WallNutz) put it to a better use, I think.

I'm terribly afraid a friend of mine might soon end up behind bars for a frivolous rape lawsuit. Rape is serious business but it seems many prosecutors, policemen, and jurors are far too eager to convict men for rape claims.

Seeing as their revenue has dropped from 300k+ to just over 70k, it seems that at least the parishioners realize things are messed up there.

Re: Mass Transit Ridership

well jeez and all along I thought the distinction was just that the PATH and other subway systems have lots of trains and go zooming along at 40+ mph while light rails usually go a lot slower, have to deal with traffic, and are much smaller trains.

which I'm pretty sure is the distiction. Not sure what the hell schedules and terminuses have to do with whether something is light rail or not.
