This really annoys me: dream more work less

Because working is not a choice for a lot of people.
And you’re not somehow more enlightened cuz you value dreaming over a 9-5. It just means you are privileged.

ps. dreams cost money too.

More additions (Fish sticker, Kitten stencil) to one very popular and beautiful mail box. 

Yup I hate these too. Also what’s wrong with occupation anyway? (and I’m not talking about the fucking ‘Occupy’ “movement”. I’m talking about like, work, and doing stuff, in and of itself as a component of feeling healthy and whatnot. Anyway, I appreciate the documentation @foundmonton does, but I’d also love a space for critical dialogue about the types of street art that seem to be privileged as cool or rad and all the other stuff we don’t see on the blog…

Maybe I’ll go document all the cock and balls sharpie pieces done in bathrooms in city center mall and submit some for a more holistic representation of street art.

I saw this yesterday on my walk home and thought that the notion of dreaming more and working less sounds nightmarish. If I dreamt any more than I already do, I’d never get anything done.

Especially when it comes to (inner city) street art, I have questions about who is (& why they’re) documenting the stuff. Not that I don’t think it should be documented, but whose is it to collect and publish, and what’s the motivation for doing so? Graffiti in the Downtown/Boyle McCauley/118th & area serves a different purpose from what is seen around Garneau & University: people use it to communicate with one another, much of it is gang related, and a lot of it speaks to the conditions that those communities live with.
