1st time I saw his gigantic raw photos, on the huge warehouse doors near Little Tokyo, I was, and still amazed. JR, the 27yrs old Parisian artist, adds a whole new depth to the city sky lines. Unfortunately, not long after, graffiti is all over them. No offense, graffiti art admires me as well (I even have a friend who does it) but don't we just want the city streets better? Why can't we respect each other as individual artist, and make the world better TOGETHER?
