Twitter and Facebook and sharing icons - follow @AllCityPlague

You might have noticed that I removed sharing icons from this blog. It's not that I don't want you to share posts, it's that I want to help preserve the online privacy of my blog readers from the icons, which can track you across the web.

Sharing on social nets is fun though, and I encourage you to do it the old fashioned way whenever you wish, by copying the web address in your browser window.

For the record, I also don't have a Facebook profile (not planning to) or an Art Crimes Twitter presence. If you see "art crimes" posing on a social network, they are either just fronting or some UK arts organization or other poorly named unrelated group.

I'm very grateful to @AllCityPlague who has been tweeting Art Crimes news and events postings, so you all should follow him or her on Twitter if that's where you wish to get your news.

Peace,

Susan

Worldwide: Call for artists - photographs of your city

Looking For Graffiti Artists From Around the World

"I'm not a graffiti aficionado, though I did crack up in Berlin when I spotted a "no tagging" sign outside of a spray paint shop. (And it was the only clean facade on the street.) However, I have seen enough to know that the community seems under-represented ... aside from brick walls in every city everywhere.

"I'm a writer and photography fan, and I run a site called Life, Panoramic (lifepanoramic.com). The idea is that, instead of seeing another collection of tourist photos, we get a very subjective view of life around the world from locals - the people who actually live in each place.

"Basically, I'd like to invite you to participate in Life, Panoramic, showing your city from your perspective (not necessarily entirely tied to graffiti, though that can be as large or small of a component as you'd like). We've had a lot of web designers, teachers, moms and marketers participate. Now, I'd love to expand our horizons to show a wider scope. Entries consist of 10-15 photos, accompanied by brief prose. Don't worry if you aren't the best photographer; just be as earnest as possible. Hope to have you there."
