Clever - but as acting Admin for the group - I need to ask why you have added it to the Socially Unacceptable Group?
Posted 54 months ago. ( permalink )

schaaflicht says:

@monster

streetchildren and streetartists are not the most accepted group in our society.
it's a plea for empathy and communication in the streets.
it's also a message of hope towards everyone who has to survive in difficult social situations.

lynetter says:

Hi, I love this... it reminds me of how imaginative kids can be, how talented at inventing new ways of seeing.

It also makes me a little homesick for Melbourne. They have these big flagstone (bluestone?) payments in the city centre, and during summers there used to be tons of chalk artists. It was one of the things that, as a kid, symbolised being "in the city" to me - walking along Swanston Street from the station, seeing drawings half done in the morning and finished by the time we walked back to go home. Nothing like that ever happened in the suburbs. :-)

Thanks too for sharing it under creative commons. I've used it in my quote mashup set here:
