This drawing of Futura I got, from pausing a online documentary about an art show by Lee Quiñones, Swoon, Futura, Mister Cartoon, Revok, Retna, Martha Cooper, Mode2, Invader, etc.
I've never seen it before, its pretty interesting the questions it raises about how graffiti is looked at today from when it begun in New York and Philly over 40 years ago, with views expressed from the artists, The gallery and of-cause the Law.
Its sad to learn how severe sentences are, still.. When compared too, (in my opinion) much worse crimes to persons, than painting on public walls.
Its an interesting view on how graffiti, is seen in the eyes of the art world too. I'm glad it shows a range of different artists like letter writers, and is not just focused on stencil or street artists that some films are guilty of..
Anyway check it out for your self..
HERE...
Its from this French site here if you can read French unlike me..
