"Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?" -Fanny Brice. Art is not something you follow, it is something you invent and create a piece at a time. When an artist creates art they are trying to tell a different story each time. The one thing that makes an artist superior from the others is their unique ways to show society how they can take an object and turn it into something we have never seen before; something that hold a stronger meaning then what meets the eye.

How can an artist display their talent if it involves being a criminal? In most major cities, graffiti art found in parks and building sides are considered to be criminal offenses, which in my opinion is unfair for those artists who perfect this skill. Why should an artist be forced to follow the status quo? This basically implies that an artist is someone who can paint a master piece on a canvas, which is wrong in many ways. Art has no boundaries, which is why I think that banning graffiti art is giving artist and society the wrong impression. Art is not like process work, you do not follow a set of guidelines but rather you do what your heart tells you to. If that involves substituting a canvas for a large downtown building wall so be it. Art is not created to discourage the viewer but is done to inform them.
