I was never really into graffiti that much until I started working here at WBL. Our Art Director, Cory Stowers, has really educated everyone on the history and meaning of the name writing tradition as well as what it has grown into today. In recent years, graffiti has been broadened a bit to the larger genre of “street art” which takes many forms. I always like when street art has a poignant message or creates a discussion about whats goin on in our society. Here we have some pieces done by NYC based artist Spectre. This project is, a series of hand-painted billboards promoting the Gentrification of Brooklyn show at the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (which opens on February 4)
