There is something truly incredible happening in the side streets and lane ways of our urban areas.
Aerosol art, stencil art, art for the sake of creating something wonderful, creative and visual is happening.

It costs nothing to see, it costs nothing to enjoy and it breaths life into our dull and boring urban landscape.
The current attitude towards aerosol art, within some areas of society, is strongly reflective of the art establishment of the 19th century,
who 'dissed' the Impressionists and their new way of playing with colour and form.

When will this exercise in creativity become seen as an art form and not as vandalism? When will this art practice be given the credit it deserves? When will the SHIFT occur?
