Have been planning a bit of de-cluttering and was going to sell some stuff. Just found out that a book I thought I might get $30 for is a lot rarer and more valuable than that - $250+ for a used copy.
If anyone is interested in the early Melbourne graffiti scene you might be aware of it.
Kings Way: The Beginnings of Australian Graffiti: Melbourne 198393
Wow, slow down, cowboy. I was pointing out what tagging represents in the graffiti world. You're the one who brought up its value and effects on society, not I. I defined the issue, not critiqued it. Talk about going in circles. Not terribly big on comprehension are we?
> So from this old photo you've shared I'm sure that at lease some of these taggers are now fully fledged, respected artists?
Funny you mention that. In the Richmond subway photo, the yellow tag in bottom-left region is NEW from AFP and DMA who is now, indeed a "well-respected" artist who is commissioned to paint walls throughout Europe, creates pieces with paper/collage and metal sculpture. Many others in this photo and elsewhere have been well documented in a book about Melbourne graffiti called Kings Way, giving well-deserved attention to a world not seen or known my many Melbournians for some decades.
This topic creates a lot of tension for you, doesn't it? I'd suggest not letting teenage memories of having the shit kicked out of you by kids in Wu tang tracksuits affect your better judgement. The manure mural sounds exciting, but probably more up the alley of Arts Victoria. Don't forget to wash your hands.
