An odd art question
The extra letter:
--- Quote from: PantsFTW on 23 Oct 2007, 21:49 ---So you'd consider all forms of street art, or public art graffiti then?
--- End quote ---
I generally operate on the assumption that if you've written or drawn something indelible on something that doesn't belong to you without the permission of the owner, then that's generally graffiti, yeah. I mean, it can be really awesome looking graffiti and all, but it's still graffiti.

--- Quote from: Emaline on 23 Oct 2007, 22:48 ---Dude, I had to go to court for drawing on stop signs in chalk. All forms of street art, whether stick figures, gang signs, or actual works of art are graffiti.
--- End quote ---
I think Ellis G. would disagree.
HellStorm:
Well I would say that you should.
I mean, everyone likes something to read =]
Anyways, how many times have you been in a public toilet with random sayings such as 'Emz is a fag' or 'J luvs R 4eva 07' or 'Kelz is gay wiv Tez'
Personally I would much prefer something more artistic/interesting/entertaining as interesting as finding out about a load of peoples love lives that I've never met and all seem to end in the letter z is
;]
SevenPinkerton:
I would. I love things like that.
I just got a book called Guerrilla Art for Christmas that shows how to do thousands of forms of public art and I absolutely adore it. The author presents the position that we are forced to look at tons of advertisements and other forms of public displays of "art" all over a city, so why would a helpul/fun/interesting public artistic piece be looked down upon? She of course also makes it a point to point out where public art should not be done (such as in permanent or private places) and how it should not be done (such as with permanent or damaging materials/toxic materials like spray paint, etc) and all in all, it's a nice awesome and respectful book.
So yes, I would not only continue your comic, but may start my own nearby.

Check out the Street Bubbles section of this website:
www.thebubbleproject.com/
It is along a similar theme to the idea you have but simplified, I think. The other upside is that you can print out your own bubbles from the website to stick about your vicinity. An interesting way of opening a dialogue with the masses :)
Other good websites for graffitti-related stuff are:
