Graffiti, Artists, Bans (?)

In recent weeks, Toronto has been buzzing with a slightly disturbing (at least in my eyes) campaign - getting rid of the graffiti in the streets!

They say it makes the city look ugly, but those who do, don't quite understand the idea behind this Art. It's a self-expression of the surrounding of the anonymous artist behind the piece.
Let's face it - if it wasn't for Toronto's graffiti pieces seen in back allies and little streets Downtown, the city just wouldn't be as 'cool'. We, personally, have friends who come visit and spend a whole day shooting numerous walls across town!

Anyhow, when art is art it should be appreciated.
Enter Tanina Jackson, who's painting have created a viral boom, not only shows amazing artistic skills but manages to push them through mixing in a little (a lot) bit of Fashion in there.
The Arizona-based artist's latest collection - Babe and Butter - is rep'd by a series of pretty catching illustrations printed on clothes, bags, accessories, shoes, etc. All in all the collection represents the power of the well-dressed woman, who is proud of her wardrobe and style and ain't afraid to flaunt it.

I am vigorously searching for her pieces online! Anyone come across one - be sure to e-mail me!
