Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want; Millie Cover
Song is very apt for the similarity between the two characters in my project. Both them find themselves in the same infortunate circumstance and so find themselves wishing for the same thing.

hands are of all races, once may even suggest from all works of life…but they al form one circle; a shape that never startes and never begins. All hands hold equal importance.
While continuing with the project at hand, it is drawn to my attention that the work I am doing is similar to that of Gillian Wearing; a well acclaimed artist who takes pictures of people holding signs that shows what they are actually thinking and feeling. Her wrk is very powerful and has become great inspiration.

Differences are things we choose to see.
Differences SHOULD be things we choose to overlook.
While this amazingly hilarious and beautifully executed, it raises the question, when did things change. Just 40 years ago, an image such as this would not have been mainstream and even if many found it amusing, one would have most definitely made the effort to appear as if though offended by such a crude image. And so, the question is repeated, when did things change?
Street Graffiti. This is considered by many, myself included, as art while others regard it as simply defacing society. Whichever you may believe, it cannot be argued that those who insist on using walls and billboards as their canvas belong to a particular sub culture. Do people graffiti because they belong to something, or does the action itself result in them becoming a member?
Those who graffiti are generally trying to get a point across to society. Whether it be two fingers to the institution/society, a positive message of peace or just a crude picture to show that those in authority are no different than the rest of us mortal beings, there is always a reason for it. But why graffiti? because it can’t be ignored, because there’s nowhere else for such authentic art, or simply because they can?
Whatever the reasons, the fact remains that graffiti results in the pigeonholing of particular people into certain stereotypes and subcultures.
