...and I want to touch it, to quote the Presidents Of The United States of America. It's from a silly song simply titled "Kitty". Funny shit if you get the absurdity of it all.
This happy graffiti kitty was just across the street on the beginning of Haight Street from my fabulous barber dude whose nimble clippers always gets the job done right. This stenciled rendering is a fine representation of simple, fun, playful art on the sidewalk. It's not Banksy, but I think it has a similar kindred spirit. I find this kind of street art much more interesting and compelling than the usual giant squiggle autographs seen on the sides of warehouses. All that crap is so ego centric and comes across as a simple display of bragging rights that the artist can make a bigger giant and more unintelligible squiggle of their name than their competitors vying for the same warehouse wall space. I prefer the artistic statements of a Banksy or Shepard Fairey over any of that other stuff. Spray paint on rebel kiddies and perhaps one day a real picture will pop into your heads.
