I dont understand, what do you mean by the wider world ?

I didn't think you would. Street art does not exist only in a sales bubble for aging Tories. Its attached to the most exciting social, political and artistic movement for ages. Discussing that a bit might be nice.

thats bizarre, coming from someone who has installed a peer to peer sales platform.
reading down the board you can find threads about street artists from portugal, brazil, miami, finland, it is quite diverse & indicitive of the 'wider world',
but the most prevelant topic of conversation at the moment is sales, caused in the main by the oversupply of prints last year, a residue from the enthusiasm of the members of all forums from last year, the encouragement of the f5 and buying anything that came on the market, resulting in a glut of unwanted prints, & credit card bills, a kind of reaping what you sow effect, if you like.
