ABOUT AEROSOL ART AND WRITING In this space i willn't explain the meaning of aerosol art as dictionaries,
encyclopedias and other sources bring,
i don't consider my self a culture-volture about it, so much less an expert,
but the experience I have accumulated talks about me
and for this reason i will explain my way only and from my sole point of view.

Aerosol art is an artistic expression that was borned in the 70's in New York
and it has the mean purpose of writing own name with style
on every surface that exalts the form and the originality.

I promptly want to shortly explain to you the difference between an aerosol art artist and
a writer that use the aerosol art for own ways:

very easly,
the first keep the spray in his hand and uses it to express own creativity trough a legal form,
the second uses the spray as a gun to satisfy his purpose by illegal and vandalic acts.

Often an aerosol art artist is writer too,
because he creates a right mix of expression with legal and illegal forms.

I immediately want to explain to you another fundamental thing about this subject,
the distinction between a writer and a generic vandal:

the writer is a vandal to all the effects,
because he does illegal acts,
but unlike a generic vandal,
he acts with style and the damage is the the result of mounths and years of a never ending learning.
writers always respect all the other espression forms:
many times reporters say: "....some writers have painted a nazi swaztica on the monument...."

My answer to those reporters is that they dont know how this world goes on,
and they should have to write less shits and to do their job,
because they put their responsability at people service
and increasing shits make other shits to increase.

A real writer paints a train,a wall, a truck, a bridge, an underground wagon, a streetcar,
but he would never attack a church, a monument, a particular palace,
a cemetery or a place that represents another expression form or a difference culture of a metropolis.

I don't want to say that a train wagon or a city center palace haven't a style and can be attacked,
but those symboles only are fruits of a metropolitan jungle that is angry of fame
but with a minimum respect and with particular rules.

About rules...
those of an aerosol art artist are based on his legal creation,
on spray techniques to obtein the wanted effect;
aerosol art artists always write letters,
sometimes use theirs technique to paint what they feel inside,
throught puppets, landscapes, illustrations, life scenes .....

The rules of a writer below of the code of honor that each brings inside of it,
and that others before him have learnt him;
anybody (apart certain pillars in subject of which I don't feel me to reveal names)
can go out of writing rules that have been imposed during the years.

A writer only paints his name,
or properly tag, named this way by job employees,
in a stilish and original form,
during an useful time in a particular situation.
Often he has to be satisfied of a simple signature,
but many times can sign painting with colors, thickness and similar shrewdness,
but the best expression is the throw-up:
an elborated writing, naked and raw by a sole color,
able to ditinguish writers learnings,
the engagement and the several risk in creating the artistic work.

....i think that a stylish throw-up on a roof, or on a underground wagon pays more
than many writings eleborated in no risk places.

during other situations,
artists or writers too ( throght their illegal form) gather them together,
composing a crew, groups of people united by a friendship and by a similar way of painting.
and often they prefer writing in wide places, composing that way some hall of fame,
so that places where writers of different crews fill in the space by their creations.

don't judge badly an aerosol art artist or writer that does illegal acts,
worry for of the jungl ewe ar leaving in,
too much intense and chaotic for a world that should be the opposite,
future aren't aiming to a freedom concept,
it only aims in creating rules over rules depriving in this way our true nature
so writers try to escape from reality throght an imaginary war,
that however gives us the knowledge of letting a trace..

this is my thinking about writing and aerosol art in general,
and about the reason that push an artist in painting and in carrying ahead his own faith,
you can find the reason inside you....
