WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by hupster on Feb 17, 2012 13:50:54 GMT 1, First thing for me was the late 60's and early 70's album covers for the prog rock and psychedelic then learning more about the artist which then moved into current day urban art......
Valentyne Suite by Colosseum is just a great album sleeve......

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by Layaway Days Art Blog on Feb 17, 2012 14:17:24 GMT 1, I would say initially Banksy. I have been looking at his images for several years, casually putting his pieces as backgrounds on computers/laptops etc. Did not look into it to the point of purchasing as I didn't know he made prints. The second coming was last year when I wanted to make our house feel like a home and wanted to decorate and found Nick Walker's TMA-NYC. This got me into the art and have picked up a few good pieces. Unfortunately, lack of funds and framing costs has me on the periphery at the moment but just waiting for the next big 'have to have it' piece and be selective.
Who knows, hopefully sooner than later.

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by sakyamuni on Feb 17, 2012 14:17:53 GMT 1, i was involved in the punk/diy scene in the early 90s (Born against and the likes...), i discovered shepard fairey, similar political views/aestetics, then banksy, and many more. Never thought about buying anything at that time, and did not really know about prints or art shows, but using the streets as a media was the big thing. I remember putting stickers in the subway with friends just to show some of our stuff. I left all this in '94 and didn't follow at all for a long time. I rediscovered "street art" 15 years later, this time through art magazines and galleries. I had less time to be involved in anything but more money to spend...The people i used to enjoy were suddenly famous and way too expensive so i digged some newer stuff, discovered new forms, started buying prints, then OG's and here we are... Back for a new round I hope that makes sense...

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by Wearology on Feb 17, 2012 15:10:34 GMT 1, I used to drive to work on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and pass by the Keith Haring "Crack Is Wack" wall from the 80's everyday. The message, vibrant colors and the fact no one messes with it 30 years later shows the power of street art and the respect for Mr. Haring's magical skills.

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by jusdeep on Feb 17, 2012 15:36:43 GMT 1, I first got into the graffiti scene in the late eighties/early 90's as I had a few friends at college who were serious graff artists. Being into the hip hop scene at the time I started playing around with type/characters and having a go myself, although never had the nerve to do it on the streets. At the time I was at art college and was certainly influence by a lot of the artists around at the time, but this was back in the days before internet so to see the work you had to on the street. I can remember having a few prints by Kinsey, Giant, Obey but thinking nothing of it, they are long gone. It wasn't until I moved to London I started to appreciate the street scene and being a graphic designer have always kept a close eye on emerging trends and clever ideas such as Banksy's early work and Shep's propaganda and simple re-use of graphic images. I even commissioned artists such as Jago and Burgerman for the work I was doing. A lot of these guys were working through illustration agencies. I can even remember seeing Mr B's early work at an event and thinking 'this guy is taking the piss, I can't believe he's charging that kind of money for a sprayed stencil!' It probably wasn't until around 5 years ago I started buying works, visiting galleries and events. It was probably down to the fact that house prices were crazy in London and I wasn't getting anywhere saving for a deposit. So decided rather than have money sitting in a bank doing nothing I may as well brighten my flat up and enjoy my purchases on a daily basis. It's certainly made a big difference to my life, cheered me up, brightened my day and I've met some very good friends along the way.

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by iamzero on Feb 17, 2012 21:58:50 GMT 1, Subway Art book at school in 1985 then the Spraycan Art (and yes I remember the Chrome Angelz) and Wildstyle, Stylewars, Breakdance, Beat Street and Bombin' stuff. Started to tag and spray around the city I live in the East Midlands and spent some time in the cells waiting to be released and then stopped as I got older.
I always saw stencils as cheating until I did a HND in graphic design course and found Banksy in around 2002/ 2003 but never considered buying anything until the last couple of years when I discovered the Jealous Gallery in Crouch End where my Ben Eine and Charming Baker obsession began.
Old Skool.

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by politrix on Feb 18, 2012 17:04:28 GMT 1, It started with graffiti surounding the railway in The Netherlands. The graffiti broke my day after school and later work sitting in the train and watching outside to see if their was something new. Started to collecting some books about graffiti, but books about graffiti where hard to find in The Netherlands.
After graffiti came Mo'Wax recordings. Besides the music, I was in love with the sleeve-art. I think Futura 2000 did most Mo'Wax releases. Through Mo'Wax I found Designer Toys.
From designer toys I learned about stencil and sticker art. Still couldn't afford to buy things. Didn't even knew the stuff was for sale.
Just last year I learned about this forum and bought my first prints (Prefab, Whatson, Batchelor). First thing I bought was Adam Batchelor's run on 1xrun.
What always attracted me was the freedom of street art. Just do what you like in public area's. Get the message out to the people on the street who are not into art that are in museums.
*sounds more like an introduction then an answer to the question

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by Shoot Again on Feb 18, 2012 19:09:13 GMT 1, For me it all really started after meeting Christian Guemy C215 in his studio in Vitry. Spent the first part of the day photographing every single artworks of his in his city's streets and then the afternoon chating with him, listening to his great experiences with other streetartists. It was a great day I will always remember and that has lead me to many more discoveries of other artists we are so fortunate to be able to share some time with when attending their shows...

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by supercockle on Feb 18, 2012 19:48:13 GMT 1, Helped build an indoor skatepark in Wakefield about 18-20 years ago. One of my mates (Crie) brought a load of artists down to paint it one night when we had an all nighter. I guess that was what got me introduced to it. I always wanted to give it a go but never did. I guess Banksy got me back into it when his work hit the headlines. Started buying pieces in 2009 I think. Went overboard in the first year and bought loads of prints etc cos I thought everything was great the first time I saw it. Have since refined my tastes (mainly because the money ran out) and only really buy a few artists. 90% of what I own never made the walls and that's sad. I need to move a lot of it on this year to a home where it will be enjoyed by others. There is no idealogical "reclaiming of the streets" reason for my love of street art..... its the images and the styles that get me.

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by Sohoria on Feb 18, 2012 21:17:06 GMT 1, For myself was a show at BRP that I managed to take friend to who wasnt interest in art. From seeing the art on show he purchased a few artworks. Some maybe will roll eyes but D*face was the first artist who really introduced me into this world lol. Overtime my appreciation of artists have changed but honestly when I first started to speak to him was the first person who told me about Nick Walker and this was after TMA london.
I think joining this site was the best thing I have done in enjoying artwork from great artists. Street improvements print by dface was the first ever show I had gone too and remember how cold that day was. Nick walker show after everything that happened for myself was amazing.
Pure Evil was close to D*face have to admit and I guess around this time was when Adam Neate around bonhams dropped free artwork over London. Enjoyed seeing people from forum search for the art pieces as I really did find amazing.
What I realised is no matter what I think how much I know there are many great forum members still on here that have witnessed great artwork for a long time.
Biggest memory is a great forum member telling me at second art show I go to about the birth of his child. Something that always sticked with me but hearing could see from his past how much meant to him...s

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by Jeezuz Jones Snr on Feb 19, 2012 2:57:11 GMT 1, Always loved street art and when I was 18, many many years ago had a big fine and 12 month conditional discharge for spraying a large piece so I had to pack being an artist in I could have been bigger than Banksy!! will have to contact mates back in UK to see if they have any photos. Commuting on train every day - so much graffiti in Sydney, there is a team of guys constantly painting over pieces, must cost millions every year.For years I said to myself I would like to buy an expensive Francis Bacon print, then I found the POW website and loved the 'Mona Simpson' image, bargain at 50 pounds. Nearly 5 years on I have Banksy,Parla and Josh Keyes on my walls but still no Francis Bacon, one day

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by ABC on Feb 23, 2012 1:14:03 GMT 1, My dad bought me a Sony Walkman, the first one they made, i got the breakdance tape with it too. That got me hooked on the film and hip-hop in general, I used to spend hours on a Saturday night listening to the electro charts - those were the days. Yes, I did have a square of lino that I used to take to the town centre whilst wearing my fila tracksuit. Whilst I was at school in Kent in the early 80's a boy from London joined the class, he was heavily into graf and a bit of a nut case, very talented artist though. I remember coming back after summer holidays to find the whole school had been tagged and sprayed up everywhere, they knew it was him but they could never prove it, I hadn't seen anything like it before. Although I was not into tagging that much, I dabbled on the odd occasion, he certainly got me hooked on graffiti in general, like a lot on here i owned the original spray can and subway art books. After school in 88 I went to art college for a few years, great times. My introduction to street art was at college when I studied JM Basquait for a while.

Not only an awesome mix of image and location, but did you see him lay in those balloon lines with a marker...complete precision and certainty of line placement!?! Not only can the man THINK...the man can DRAW!

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by Deleted on Feb 23, 2012 6:10:20 GMT 1, First image got me into the work, was an online image of Banksy's double yellow street lines veering from the street, over the sidewalk, up the wall and sprouting into a flower.
From that moment on, to this moment and beyond, don't see things the same as I walk down the street.
I see possibilities...

This is the one that did it for me, I knew next to nothing about street art or Banksy before I came across this image. I remember skating through leake street, must of been mid 2006, this image caught the corner of my eye and made me stop in my tracks. Shortly after I found this forum, the rest is history.

WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO STREET ART, by mike hunt on Feb 27, 2012 16:08:06 GMT 1, There wasn't one particular piece. For me it was just that it seemed exciting and fresh in comparison to what was going on at the time. The immediacy was fun and I could relate to it.
I've always liked art which utilises an unusual format - this means it is often be sneered at and looked down on because of the prejudice against the format. Streetart was seen as low art which kept it under the radar and so it remained innovative. Starting to see stuff where I was in Bristol and then in London started my interest and it went from there.
