Street Art: What is going on?

Personal reminder: Turn this section into an organized and constructive reflection about street art/ mainstream marketing/ materialism/ consumerism/ intellectual property & the creative commons/ promotion of public arts and artists/ the role of the artist as an individual and as an ideal etc. as sparked by the Fairey talk I saw last night at the ICA.

Refer to previous blogpost about "selling self worth through handbags."

Include mother's observation: "Art needs more roadies and less groupies." Consider replacing "Art" with "Life." Copyright the quote under mom's name before someone else makes posters with it.
