Vandalism or Art? Part I in the SF Chronicle
The urge to express oneself by writing on a blank wall is as old and primal as cave painting. But one tagger's colorful imagery is another person's ugly scrawl. One thing is certain: Graffiti's not going away.

Save Modern Rock in Philly
Hi.
I am in the middle of a brewing protest and currently helping with this website to save modern rock in Philly. http://www.y100rocks.com. It's making news and even going to be an article in an upcoming RollingStone issue.
We need your help! Do you have any artists who can make up a few cool stencils for downloads from the site (we'll give you full props) for the purpose of

Know Your Rights in the USA
From the ACLU:
To fight police abuse effectively you need to know your rights. There are some things you should do, some things you must do and some things you cannot do. If you are in the middle of a police encounter, you need a handy and quick reference to remind you what your rights and obligations are.
- Be polite and respectful.
