Street Art....?

1. I noticed that the artists incorporated a lot of personal things in their work. For example, Invader was always posting Spce Invader tiles all around the city. The artists also used a variety of different styles. While Invader mostly used tiles, Banksy used spray cans and posters to convey his messages.

2. I was amazed by how "Mr Brainwash" was able to get his art so loved and recognized despite that fact that he was....not exactly an artist. He was a total dumbass.
He didn't know anything about art- hell, he actually HIRED people to do the art for him. He just came up with some basic, stupid concepts. And yet, somehow, everyone bought into it. Un-freaking-believable.

3. All of the artists used their craft to convey their message in different ways. For example, Banksy had the "Elephant in the Room" exhibit for his first art show. He painted an elephant like the wallpaper in the room to convey how people can often miss things. I too can use art to convey a message.
