Almost Crimes-Guerilla Art

Our first project-Guerilla Art.

For this project I made two stencils. It was tedious, but quite fun, and something I have wanted to get into for a while now.
Both are in response to upcoming trends in my generation. One generally strong and prevailing theme of today is the increased amount of physical and sexual ambiguity. I think this is wonderful. It is absurd to encase ones appearance within the set out parameters of "feminine" and "masculine." The words masculine and feminine are not synonymous with male and female. Male and female has to do with genitalia. Masculinity and femininity are traits, and really have little to do with one's genitalia. It is just as usual for a man to possess feminine traits as it is for a woman. So for my first stencil I have two faces about to kiss. They could be two girls, they could be two boys, they could be a boy and a girl. The point is you can't be really sure. Whatever the case is, they're here, they could be queer (they may not who knows), and they want to share their love with the world.
For the time being they are just up on my door. Lame, I know. I was shy and nervous with the first ones. I assure you though I had way too much fun with the second to not continue a bit in the guerilla art spectrum. If I put anymore up I'll try to put them up here.

The second stencil was a response to the marketed version of individuality that is prevalent today. It's poking fun at an image, which was originally employed for individuality, but has now become a gross overproduction by today's market.

This one was placed on strange grey box inhabiting trendy street corner in Brookline.


I forgot on the first to take a picture of the environment pre stenciling, so here is another placed on trendy dumpster located in trendy Boston...
It's a bit unclear by the hasty paint job, but the stencil says "Marketable Individualism"


These were supposed to be up prior to this date, but due to misunderstanding on my part they were not. Ah well, so much for punctuality.
