Urban Art - Graffiti Collage
Downloaded a trial version of the program Picture Collage Maker and played around with it today while waiting for dinner to be ready. (Yes, I cooked. Gasp! It happens every once in a while. Don't let it alarm you...)
The program is easy to use, probably has the simplest Terms and Conditions I've ever read and playing around creating this collage was lots of fun. The (light grey) watermark in the centre of the image disappears once you buy the product. Seeing I quite enjoyed taking these photos and turning them into a collage, this was definitely not a waste of my time!
When graffiti / street art / urban art is done in a nice way, I can appreciate it. The big, colourful letters for instance, those I think are 'nice'. When (what I see as) ugly looking tags are added or sprayed over the nice 'pretty' and 'artsy' stuff, that ruins the effect for me and turns art into ugly. In this case, I think it's a pity that the pretty art is covered by messy-looking writing that makes no sense to me.
Disclaimer: As I don't write or draw or spray-paint on walls or buildings or other structures myself (and never have. I wouldn't want to), I have no clue if the graffiti / spray-painted markings in these photos represents a local group, an idea, a concept, a person or what. There might also be offensive (or rude or anti-social or whatever) symbols in these photos that I don't recognise. If so - I do apologise. I am not trying to promote any group or view or anything of the sort. I just biked past it last week and went back on the weekend to take a few photos as I liked the colours.
