where to find more

I have been scouring campus and learning a lot about the stall writing at BGSU. At the union they paint over anything every single night. They hung up paper in olscamp to prevent people from writing on the actual stall. The art building lets it run free until there is something offensive. But by the amount of swasticas in the mens bathroom I feel like they dont care..... Everyone seems to hate people that write on them. That's the general overview. In the science buildings they dont have any and when they do it is painted over asap. I may broaden my range to bathrooms off campus but many of the diners and bars in the area actually encourage writing in the bathrooms so I'm unsure if that strays away from my idea or adds to it.

I have bought 1500 sheets of tracing paper and there will be two frames per sheet of paper.

Stall "Art"





































What I got done today!

So today I have completely finished my idea process. Finally.
First watch this: http://www.thejohnnycashproject.com/

They made a drawing program and released it to the world where anyone could go draw a frame of animation and then submit it. They then compiled all of the hand drawn frames and played the video.

I will be doing something similar but using rotoscope on paper using random people to create frames of animation of people writing on my stall door.

I went out and purchased 15 50 page tracing paper books. I will print out the frames 2 per page. So people are capable of achieving detail without being burdened.

Graffiti

Graffiti (singular: graffito) is writing or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place.

Modern graffiti has many different purposes from gang affiliations, territorial wars, self expression, political awareness, advertising, and so much more. Why is it illegal if it's the oldest art form we have documented? Why do people's mark on the world get white washed by a higher power? Just because you don't get something doesn't mean it's wrong.
