Should we have a graffiti data-base?

[Y Chwyldro Comiwnyddol Cymraeg]

Should a data base be opened on revlefts plastic and graffic arts section. There have been numerous threads where images of graffiti have been posted, like te RAAN one. I think we should have a thread for IMAGES ONLY to be posted of any political graff

what do you think?

[welshred]

i think this is a good idea.

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

it's a fairly good idea in principle... I know at present I don't have much time to put in to it, but maybe come august.

I can see it having a few drawbacks, it's difficult to index stuff if we just had a thread for it unless people want to trawl through the inevitably long number of pages it will succumb to. And to have any more than a thread on this forum will require a fair bit of work.

You mean something like this (http://stencil.redapollo.org/)?

[Y Chwyldro Comiwnyddol Cymraeg]

no....just a thread with liks i.e
Anarchist graff
Antifa graff
Communist graff
anti-capitalist graff

etc.
like the leftist images sticky

If you're referring the rushed slap dash jobs then the vast majority of political graf is glorified text propaganda (classified as vandalism by the beourgiouse state). I dont really know if its justified to refer to that as 'artwork' and i thought that was the purpose of the graphics board. Is it really justified to have its own section?
PS. I know a lot of grafiti work takes a lot of time to make. Im referring to specifically to instances where the author has taken a few seconds to create it.

Yes, but one split into categories like the index thread is for graphics.

[Black Dagger]

I don't see a problem, well... one, we'll need photos!

But yeah, start the thread if you want.

Like that but call the thread graffiti art with a link to threads for posting pics. A thead would be for a category of graff, such as Anarchist graffiti or Stop the war graffiti.


Is this possible

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

It's possible yeah, basically you just do it by using the link tag
