Blek Le Rat by Jacob Sorgi

Graffiti art is huge in popularity across the nation, as well as other countries. Since it's mostly illegal, many of the artists go unnamed so that they aren't charged with defacing public property. In this instance, illegal or not, the French artist Blek Le Rat turns a gang related tagging into art. In my opinion, it would be really cool to just see some of this art on random parts of buildings on a street, so i think it should be made legal because of artists like Blek Le Rat. Here is a link to his website:

    This artist is really neat because I think graffiti, illegal or not, is very interesting, especially because of the way graffiti can be viewed. Personally, I think graffiti, if done properly, is a very good expression of oneself, and can be a good way to present your art to many people, as everyone who walks past will see it.

      I think it is so cool that this artist turns gang related graffiti into new art. His art is interesting to look at and also has a good impact on the street art world. -Brandi
