2014 Review: Hashtag Street Art

Kinda depressing that street art, which was once all about illegal interventions, is now all about commissioned murals with scissor lifts. — Marc Schiller (@MarcDSchiller) December 14, 2014 Street artists need to exercise their voice more on the street. They need to once again "steal space" and become our voice of dissent. — Marc Schiller (@MarcDSchiller) December 14, 2014 Street artists need to exercise their voice more on the street.

It was about stealing space. That seems, for the most part, to be all gone — Marc Schiller (@MarcDSchiller) December 14, 2014 Tweets by the co-founder of Wooster Collective.Might be the reason why they aren't updating the site more often than 2006 or 2007.

Tie One

Jonathan See Lim AKA Tie One (1979–1998), was a graffiti artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was well known in the graffiti community for his aggressive style of graffiti art and the large amount of work he produced. Lim was born in the Philippines to ethnic-Chinese parents. During his early childhood, his family moved to California. -pilipinas-streetplan http://pilipinastreetplan.blogspot.com/2009/03/tie-one-19791998-rip.html Saint Patrick’s Day has always been difficult to celebrate because on this day eleven years ago, our friend and soldier Tie, Jonathan See Lim, was murdered in the Tenderloin of San Francisco on Turk and Taylor. A man named William Porter shot him in the back of his head while Tie was begining to climb a rooftop to pain. Of cource the SF police covered it up as a robbery and our 18 year old little buddies death went unvindicated. He was a major influence to us all and his memory will live on in our hearts. - saberone http://saberone.com/blog/2009/
