Misfit. I saw a poster on the way to work yesterday, black and white and half the size of the building it was plastered on. A Guy in a James Dean pose, with that wavy sort of hair and a half bent , half smoking a cigarette stance. I can t even think what they were advertising, but, it struck me that this was playing on some sort of I can be cool and be a part of society and wear brand x of clothing, yet still be a rebel, a misfit .
Conformity is not the only way to get things done, but it sure helps us know where to draw the line. The misfit usually is operating outside of the boundaries, sometimes with the blessing of the crowd like comedians, sometimes at the ire of the mob. Graffiti on the side of trains and billboards is an unacceptable artform to most of us, but, to the misfit its a form of expression, it is art. The paint is projected from the spray can like the stream of light at a movie theater, and, contained in each molecule of paint is the genesis of a picture, a small speck of what can become something beautiful, or ugly, depending who sees the end result. There s something about the smell of the paint, the toulene or whatever chemical solvent it is that dissolves into the air at a rapid rate, or in some cases dissolves the synapses of somebody s brain and they become addicted to paint sniffing!. Graffiti is usually a swirling mass of colours, carefully planned to form a rich garden of a picture at the end, Taggers are just opportunists, a blank wall is a homing beacon for them to derive a moments satisfaction and recognition. I imagine that as well as recognition it s about boredom and daring. Sort of an extreme sports of the inner urban culture. Can we get away with it?
