there's art in our blood


 “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
― Pablo Picasso



I was just thinking about art in the everyday world. I always feel a respect for artists, probably because I'm not the most creative person myself. Things like wall murals, graffiti, and street art are what I think of as "outdoors art". I was just Stumbling and I came across some borderline amazing street art (one of the coolest ones, IMO, on right). I also loved (and still do) to count the number of carts a train has as it goes by. The highest one I ever counted was 97. And usually I would spot some graffiti on the carts, some decent, some phenomenal. To me, graffiti presents a story behind the actual spray-paint. Every time I saw it I'd just ponder about who actually did it.  Honestly, some people just have that flair for art.

It's also interesting to think about how graffiti artists have a negative connotation: usually people associate them with people who come from grungy neighborhoods and bad social etiquette. But of course, we all know it's bad to generalize..
Art is incredible in the way that there are endless ways to convey it.
It really is in everything, and despite the fact that I called myself inartistic earlier, I know that everyone has the ability to create their own art.

  1. In some way, shape, or form I also think that every one is able to express their passion and create their own art. And it really does make sense when you say art is everywhere and can be seen in everything.

    1. I have always been interested in art. I think each particular piece depicts how each person views the world differently. Our imagination is what makes us unique as people. Sometimes I wish I was artistically talented.
