STUSSY SF x GHOST x LOS

Check out this video of graffiti artist Ghost painting a Stussy store in San Francisco. I like the way he paints characters using spray paint. This video was shot and edited by Los, I found it today while on Complex.com's blog. Despite people's misconceptions or defenses on the art form, it's still an awesome creation and form of expression.

My admiration of graffiti art

My admiration for the street art of graffiti came out of a natural curiosity. While transporting back and forth to my high school far from my house passing by over head bridges. I would see the graffiti and would be curious as to who did that and how did they do it? I started to get interested in learning more about the culture and art of graffiti. As well, learning how shapes, lines and colors formed into letters and signs. I remember checking out the magazines at Tower Records and looking at them with amazement. While on my trips to Miami and New York City when I was fifteen getting a first hand look at it. As I tried my self to emulate what I saw in the magazines and walls. Except, I was never that good at it just mostly admired for what I considered art while others considered vandalism. From there led me into my interest in graphic design, photography and other forms of art. On occasion, when I do find an interesting piece that amazes me I will photograph it. For example, here is a photograph I took at the D.C. graffiti hall of fame in July 2006. If you would like to see more please go check out my photography here.
