The Rules

A little bit ago the entrance of the Art Motel got an aerosol update from Greveone with a giant throwie, only to have Drsc0 get up with one of his hand finished digital prints on the right side a little while later. Well someone definitely took offense and wrote "don't cap real bombers" and signed it over the piece, giving a quick lesson in street art to the artist and anyone that sees it in the street! The politics of street art can get messy and rather ugly if artists cover other artists, and covering a graffiti piece is not a good thing and that is putting it insanely mild to be honest. When we were introduced to the world of street art and graffiti years ago we couldn't believe how many rules there were. Even if they were unspoken, they were still some damn solid guidelines that you needed to follow. Especially if you wanted to stay outta trouble! The gist of it in this case? Do NOT put wheatpaste art on or over graffiti pieces! Yes, there are the rare occasions that an artist works in both styles, but usually the two classes of artists tend to not mix too well.... Again, we are putting it mildly.
