{ 日本のGraffiti }

I was reading an article on PingMag about Japanese Graffiti....Guess most people had no idea that graffiti even exist in Japan, considering the fact that Japan is a systematic and clean country.

After two years of photographing in Japan, Australia Graffiti Artist, Remo Camerota complied the best street art of Japan in a book named Graffiti Japan. In the book, it shows the wonderful Graffiti that the Japanese had created. (By the way, there's legal spots in Japan for graffiti art)







Looking through the photos Remo took, Japanese Graffiti are a world's apart from the western counterparts. The Japanese artists showcase much dedication and details to their artwork. Perhaps it's due to the influence of the Manga Culture in Japan. Many of the graffiti shown are dynamic and colourful with interesting typography arrangement, a mixture of Kanji and Hiragana (types of japanese alphabets). But sad to say, many of the Japanese graffiti artists doesn't work in the creative industry, they all have a full-time job and only to look at graffiti as their passion.

"Sometimes design needs alot of courage."

It's not like in the exams when as long as you are hardworking, you will not fail. In design, sometimes it's your creativity, while other times it's just pure luck.

Well, never give up in your passion! Even the greatest creative gets rejected too.... :)
