“FREEDOM OF STREET” – book preview
The $tatus Faction is proud to announce their upcoming book release “FREEDOM OF STREET.”
“Freedom of street” is the freedom to exhibit art without
censorship or limitation, or both. The synonymous term
“freedom of expression” is sometimes used to indicate not only
freedom of verbal speech but any act of imparting information,
regardless of the medium used. Every American citizen may,
accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be
responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined
by law. The free communication of ideas and opinions, can be a
dangerous physical activity.”
Freedom of Street documents T$F graffiti and street art over the last two years.

This hand-painted paste-up is gigantic.
The letters and outlines made with small brush paints, the other paint is metallic gold & silver.
Inspired from a PHYLO painting, this image finally hit the street over a year later.

We don’t often plug other blogs, products or artists. We do our own thing and try hard not to get caught up in the politics. These type of polls and websites are riddled in politics. We’ve interacted with basically every candidate on these lists and don’t think of anybody as our “competition.” What the fuck comes with winning an online poll?!? You think T$F will get a trophy and a crown? HA! Nothing comes of it, and we couldn’t care less, cheers all around. The internet is a great means to reach an audience who cannot see our work in their home city, at least not yet! The streets are so temporary and unpredictable the only solution is more, more and MORE WORK. Everyone has some hater inside. Don’t lie. The choice is to either bitch and complain or proactively address the problem. It’s so much easier said than done. BE ABOUT IT. In the challenge to reach T$F’s maximum potential, our true competition is only us.
Melrose And Fairfax is a really dedicated photo blog of L.A.’s stickers and street art accomplishments. The polls are open for another 20 days. Blogs of this nature rarely generate money, but absolutely require thankless effort and invested time. People either love or hate these blogs, but generally their frustration stems from personal activism (or lack of). The Status Faction was built on the motivational mantra “Don’t TALK about it, just BE about it.”
In short, we don’t take contests and web fame all that serious. We don’t whine and worry.
T$F simply and sincerely thanks L.A.’s selfless photo diaries.
Particular those supporting our effort stimulating the visual cityscape.
