Expressing ourselves artistically is within our DNA. As humans, we've been doing this type of artistic expression since the dawn of time. We will not stop. We cannot stop. The more our art gets taken down, the stronger our drive is to get more up. Can't wait to see everyone's slaps, tags, n' pastes! Keep creating!
I can't wait to watch this!! I've wanted to see it for sooo looong!!🤗 It was so awesome to see familiar names,faces & artwork...& places around Houston! I was litteraly telling a friend about this today & was pleasantly surprised to see it on TH-cam. Thanks for posting it for free viewing! 🥰
Loved this doc I really enjoyed the guy who collected the art, his point of view and love and passion for art is why alot of artist love to create but also seeing how the artist do what they do and why and their point of view behind it was enlightening
Took the plunge about 6 months ago, I've been addicted. Is wallpaper glue better to use than flour and hot water? I normally use a half gallon thermos filled with hot wheat paste and my bag with posters. Used to use rollers and brushes when I first started but now I just pour some out on my posters and hands and slap em up.
Love that 29:30 just getting. Up 40 years just trying. To get up. When ever I can ware ever I can love it all what’s a city without art and graff 😊its all better than cement or a fucking billboard
That councilman was quick to associate gang destruction with wheat pasting, and come up with a bunch of excuses of why its wrong. These suits are the kids who got their wings clipped young. The cops do have better things to do, and being in a graffiti crew is way different than street art, they know that.. they just want to play up this whole criminal activity angle to sway squares like them.
I like watching these documentaries but the weakest part is when the artists try to justify their actions. Sure, graffiti is not as bad as violent crimes. It also needs to be illegal because people have a right to decide what goes on their property, and in doing so have to shoulder the costs of removing this stuff. I think it would be refreshing if an artist just admitted he didn't actually care about other people, and that his urge to make his mark on the city is not fundamentally different than dogs pissing on trees.
@Carthodon what's weak is being a bootlicker. Public property being painted on which happens more than private property isn't bothering anyone and usually adds to the ascetic of the area its in. People love graffiti and street art way more than bare walls, people who aren't bland anyways. Some of the most visited cities, packed with graffiti. Guess you have to be boring to go with that whole "it's still illegal and you're not an artist" route.
@@BENZYteevee Some of this clearly isn't art. When someone is pasting the same thing over and over, and when those posters are just photoshopped images that someone else made, and he clearly indicates he doesn't care about taking their work either, you get someone who fell into a pattern. I don't actually think tags makes the city look nicer, and I think most people think the same thing. That they look horrible. For the most part, anyone who feels a need to write the same thing again and again across a city has an obsession, and if that thing is their name then they're a narcissist which is what most of this is. When someone has to caveat things like "People love graffiti and street art way more than bare walls, people who aren't bland anyways", you've found a justification for actions by just saying that anyone who disagrees with you has an opinion that doesn't matter. Again, this is narcissism. Society gets a whole lot more unpleasant, especially for you, if everyone became like this.
A lot of the artists I filmed used different mixtures, but the go-to was usually wallpaper adhesive. It comes as a powder, and you just mix it with water.
loved the movie and everything but mannnn.... what they do isnt something super badass as they show or say sometimes, i do graffiti and love watching it, soo compared to this its just childsplay, not saying what there doing is ugly or anythingg, love the style, the way they do it, the way they think of it and all their stuff in general, but putting 4 pieces of paper in an abandoned wall with some cars pasing by isnt that much of a big deal. Loved the vid, keep it going !!
💪⭐ Es un Documental honesto. Los pocos que encontre solo tienen gente pegando carteles, este film es muy distinto. Yo dibujo para luchar contra el estres que casi me mata cuando era niño. En Argentina estamos cada vez peor, no tengo para imprimir o pintura. Me encantaria hacer paste up. Me habia rendido con TH-cam, pero en crisis economica TH-cam puede ayudar. Voy a seguir mi canal, despues de ver este film, necesito hacerlo. Thank's Alex and all activist, artis and the lady. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
These 'artists' are cringe inducing boys in their 20's (or older...) who never got over their teen angst and rebellious stage. The documentary brilliantly captures the man-child/peter pan syndrome in full display. Thinking everything in the world is terrible all the time, yet they are so different from everyone else. They have got it all figured out and they're trying to spread their 'brilliant, thought-provoking, powerful, etc. etc.' message out to the people to 'wake them up.' Guys...being edgy stopped being cool in high school. Vandalizing your community with your shitty Photoshop graphics of stolen images (since many of these 'artists' can't draw to save their lives) isn't fixing anything. Other than that, loved the documentary. It did what it had to do which is starting a conversation and investigating a subculture no one really knows about.
I've been pasting up right in front of a LA restaurant picture window full of buttoned up customers such as yourself that were doing nothing but looking at their phones the whole time. Get out of the matrix and learn to live a little.
I dont think you can say that simply by watching a documentary, you really don't know them all and what there motivation really is, maybe for some but people are different and besides that criticizing is easy, creating takes an effort.
Really? You think Gonzo can't draw. Maybe you ought to look up Gonzo247 in Houston. Some of our most famous murals were done by him and paid for by the city itself because of how good the guy can draw. He even teaches kids how to draw and paint in his studio. Same with Skeeze. You watched this documentary and then painted every artist with the same brush like a moron. If you do just a miniscule amount of research into any of this, you are going to come to the realization that your statement was about the most misinformed one you could have possibly made. You won't admit it and that is fine but it doesn't change the fact that some of these guys are extremely skilled.
I also just realized that Eyesore is also in this documentary. Maybe you don't care, but Eyesore is a legend and in regard to drawing... yeah, it would be a massive understatement to say that "yes, Eyesore can draw" and leave it at that lolol You really must not have actually looked into any of these artists at all if you think all they do is steal pictures and then go wheatpasting 😂
I love the lady who got emotional over Give Up. That’s the power of art. ❤
I hope she's doing okay. Does anyone know? Thank you.
@53:43
Ngl I got choked up. My mom's dealing with similar issues to her right now and I want her to see this.

Those who prefer concrete to art are exactly who the art is for.

nice
Can anyone tell me what material is used for this liquid before and after “sticking it”, is it some kind of glue or what? Thank you.
A lot of the artists I filmed used different mixtures, but the go-to was usually wallpaper adhesive. It comes as a powder, and you just mix it with water.
Look up “wheat paste” :)
What kind of paper is this? And how to print this big?
Love
Thanks you
***** Great Doc.... 7/2024

I LOVE THE KING DIAMOND FACE MASK !
Unless there is an end game, this type of stuff is just for your own ego. The general public doesn't give a shit.
Thanks!
As a fan of street art.... this isn't art, it's legit garage wasting space for real writers
Good Doc. But MAN i CANNOT stand people likw that guy Alejandro. People like that are the reason i quit art school
34:59 is me all day
wheat pasting is like a subculture inside a subculture..
I kinda respect them cuz no one likes wheat pasters, even graffiti writers..
Wheat pasting is cool but some dudes make the art way too hipster political and trendy artsy fartsy ! No disrespect
