Graffiti is not a crime.
I love grafiti. It is a form of art, and it is also a language of the streets. It is in no way, size, shape or form a crime of any kind. The streets is the canvas and the museum with which the artists who create graffiti can put their work. One of my favourite things to do is to take photos of the graffiti that i see and i have put them all in a collection on instagram named after the classic Prince album and movie "Graffiti Bridge". Graffiti is art and it is an insult to the artists when it is covered and destroyed.

The Gates by Christo and Jean Claude
Many years ago in Central Park in New York City there was a beautiful installation by artistic duo Christo and Jean Claude called "The Gates". It was set up along the entire walking path in Central Park and lasted a good long time to the point that it over stayed its welcome in the opinion of some but not mine but after a while some New Yorkers had formed the opinion. The piece was orange frames with safron curtains like those that Buddhist monks wear draped over them. I wish that I had had the chance to experience but I missed out. I just want to say that the staff who approved the project for the park are geniuses.

I saw the Imagine Peace Tower
I was in awe of it, and I showed it to my mother; that peace was something beautiful to see. I saw a little bit of it, and I was still inspired, and I still remember it to this day. Besides, you don't see something beautiful like that every day. You're doing a wonderful job creating this beautiful imaginary Tower of Peace. Later, I had a poster of the tower in my room.

How To Do More With Less
What would it look like if the world moved toward a four-day workweek? The organization, 4 Day Week Global, dd a 6-month study of 900 employees across 33 U.S. and Irish businesses in 2022. The study was based on the 100–80–100 model: Employees received 100 percent of their pay for working 80 percent of the time at 10 percent of the productivity.

Reina was an another graffiti piece that I did and a tagging name that I was trying on along with tags I was also creating pieces of my own as I had shown with this article.

When Images Refuse Ownership
The history of modern art repeatedly demonstrates a stubborn truth: no image can ever be owned absolutely. Forms circulate, poses migrate, gestures recur, and meanings survive only insofar as they continue to work on people. Copyright, originality, and authorship may function as legal or institutional devices, but aesthetically they are always provisional. What ultimately matters is not where an image comes from, but whether it generates a lived response — a mood, a tension, a sense of story. Few contemporary paintings illustrate this more clearly than The Singing Butler (1992) by Jack Vettriano, a work that has become both one of the most reproduced images in Britain and one of the most contested.

The Scream by Edvard Munch is another one of my favourite paintings that is alongside of that of Nighthawks. I have a shirt with The Scream 😱 by Edvard Munch. This painting is absolutely brilliant and amazing. It is a contradiction in a way warm colours but dark and deep subject matter.
