Graffiti Artist finally getting the respect due

It's about time Graffiti artist get their just dues within the Famous art world. I know it has taken awhile for graffiti to get it's respect but in the same it has taken on a whole new level of design and artistry. And, with graffiti artist turn painters such as Greg (Craola) Simkins and Jeff Soto having much deserved success in

the pop worlds. I am just happy to see that mainstream fine art peeps are realizing that there are some serious artist in the chaotic world of Urban and underground art. There are plenty of Urban artist that want to remain unanimous such as Banksy buy even he has turn commercial in the selling of his work, however, it is understandable we all need to make a living.

But does everyone else feel the same? do you think Graffiti art should make it to the mainstream or should it be looked down upon and be left on the walls of a dirty city?

Did Digital kill the traditional artist

I am wondering If digital art has killed the ideal of the traditional artist? As of now I know digital took out traditional Animators. I am wondering if all traditional mediums such as paper and paint will someday become obsolete. I think digital is cool but there is nothing like being able to see an original piece of art hanging in a gallery, So I am just wondering?? What does anyone think and what medium do you prefer?
