What is it? I don't know, art?

I came across this pretty sweet video with Landy this afternoon while we were gossiping about Toddy. (he's sooo handsome) I was pretty into making stencils during high-school, and would pretty much spray them on anything: backpacks, binders, driveways. I even got caught once when I was down at this middle school called hill. It was like 5:45 in the afternoon, and I was spraying this pretty sweet stencil and a cop rolled up. He was sure we were smoking weed, but once he realized what we were doing, he took down our names and told us that he was going to come back the next day, and if it wasn't clean, he was going to arrest us. Naturally, we were up the next morning at 7AM with sponges, paint thinner, and full of fear. Here is a picture of the stencil
Anyhow, here is a pretty sick project of an artist in Istanbul who spent an incredible amount of time making stencils of soldiers out of paper. He placed them on 294 walls throughout the city, and this was the end result

Lastly, here is a song I've been bumping. It's called Night and Day by a band Called Chief (shout out to my boy REGGO). Pretty mellow, pretty chill, great vocals, YES!

Duncs, Your story reminds me of when I was a young boy stealing chromies off peoples aston martins and lambos. I'm skeptical of this videos authenticity but is art ever reallly real!? I don't know.
