We're so excited for this moment!
Let's talk ART
Since we began in the back of an alley, our first collection is a love letter to graffiti culture.
Most of this collection is characterized by unusual juxtapositions, social standards, and humor to disrupt the viewer's expectations about how graffiti 'should' function as neatly packaged street art that fits in with hegemonic tastes.
In "Donut Hate" the image is colorful and cheeky. The title is double entendre - as is Donut Police Art; We reclaim the inherent beauty in graffiti as a counter culture to class warfare, making a comment about graffiti gentrification in the USA displacing the very muralists given maximum freedom to create in other countries. This isn't a collection meant for any gangs except the donut gang we all know and love. For the love of donuts, can we all agree the world is a more colorful space because of graffiti, not in spite of it.
'Donut Police Art' is a fun entendre poking at how we label Graffiti as Vandalism which in turn strengthens Class Warfare in at risk neighborhoods, and how the two intersect to create Street Art today that actually gentrifies every block whether the artist cares or not. Even though paint isn't considered a contribution to property value that raises taxes, everyone value's the artistic contributions so much they raise the rent and price out the artists who made it home.
