Barry McGee and Margaret Kilgallen
Both of these artist have very similar styles of art. Neither one of them like anything that is made on the computer as they feel that it is not real or handmade. Margaret describes the billboards or anything computer made as garbage. Most people would disagree and say that we are living in the future and anything handmade will take a long time. But not for the both of these artist. Kilgallen has this knack of using old school 16th century typography. It is her favorite type of typography because back then it was hand made and not made by a press or other devices. McGee loves to do street graffiti. I feel that street graffiti is property damage but to an artistic person it looks beautiful. Its is way different type of art from the regular art we see in a museum. Street art is more grungy and has for some reason more shine meaning that it sticks out more. Street artist love to tag anything. It can be really beautiful or it can be ugly but any form of it is considered art.
