Feline-friendly graffiti felon is out of the clink

Time to take a little look at the street scene in the arts...not the Ann Arbor streets, or the Plaza streets, but graffiti and so-called "street art".

Here are two interesting articles from the LA Times Entertainment section: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2010/11/graffiti-art-cats-police.html. Looks like they put graffiti artists in jail there!

This one is about an upcoming Street Art show at the Geffen MOCA in Los Angeles. I've been to the Geffen for a Murakami exhibit -- it is perfect for this sure to be "out of the box" (sorry for the cliche) show:

    They put graffiti artists in jail here, too, in Rockford, Illinois. One young man who spent time in jail is now a co-coordinator of the Emerging Visual Artists Project, and a chief collaborator on a series of "postcard murals" recently undertaken by The ELEMENT Rockford, a nonprofit dedicated to building a community of the creative spirit. He's a very talented artist, whose graffiti skills have been put to good use to help beautify Rockford's west side.
