Do you people just not 'get' art?

Sure, the yarn or money to buy the yarn could have been used to help the homeless, but then it wouldn't be art. The metal and money for the bull statue could have been used to help the poor and unfortunate as well, couldn't it? Why didn't Warhol just screen print fabric for the homeless rather than canvases for museums?

At least this art drew nationwide attention to a good issue, as well as encourage debate about how we're allowed to interact with the cities we live in and what is and isn't vandalism. As a former "guerrilla artist" myself, I'm really glad to see this make the news, as well as very disappointed in a lot of commenters, especially on the CNN site.

lots of people are really good at yo-yoing. search youtube for 2010 world yoyo contest and watch some of the other players. i liked jensen's 2010 california state contest video more than this one. look for that on youtube as well.

Waterspouts can't pick up anything like fish. It's been debunked. Fish can jump out of water if they were so motivated, and certain ones can in fact move considerable distances on their own. People don't see the fish or frogs falling out of the sky. They see them somewhere that they don't expect them and assume that's the only explanation.

Listen to this short podcast about the phenomena real quick if you've got a few mins. Or you could just read the transcription on the page.

Hey. It's George from Toy Break. It's a vidcast about collectible toys. From action figures to vinyl art toys. He does it with his girlfriend and their friend.

This is also the guy who is responsible for creating those Tux the penguin vinyl toys that you can get on places like think geek. They sell lots of them here.

hahaha. i'm sure this was just a raid on the time poll. moot's not influential, even on 4chan. i'm sure they just did this for a laugh. probably found a way to hack the voting.

wonder if the idea was copied. this other poster started a meme that has been around the net for a while.

A couple friends of mine started a house music record label called "Spatula City Records" in Chicago. It's good stuff.

that guy is from the experimental french rap group TTC. they do stuff with the american mc busdriver and other undergroud artists like glitch techno producer modeselektor. it's good stuff. you should check some out.

Nah, not Banksy. Not his style at all. This is the Norwegian artist Dolk who is currently living in Australia. More of his work can be seen on his stencilrevolution.com gallery including a stencil of R2D2 being raped by a dog. I can just hear the beeps of panic in my head.

by the way. the photo you guys chose is one that illustrates how the sign doesn't match up with the background if viewed from the wrong angle. this is the correct one. http://www.cayetanoferrer.com/city_of_chicago/images/pages/image04.htm

"And he does not get in trouble for painting over city signs?'

It's street art, so it's technically illegal. It is probably a big sticker rather than painting directly on the sign. He's not the first person to do it. The artists in the Urban Bloods collective out of France do the same thing but with huge billboards. Here is their website. http://urblooz.free.fr/
