Recently I got into an interesting discussion about how Sprite, Nike, Reebok, ESPN, ABC, and many other corporations use graff or graff-inspired imagery in their ads and they make tons of money off of images that continue to be considered illegal works of art.

Mixx and Mash: March 2006
http://mixxnmash.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Explorations and explanations about the merging of art, media, and digital communication. Friday, March 17, 2006. Flash, Art and play. Ever since Max Fleischer. Artists have been exploring ways to trace live action movement, frame by frame, for use in animation.

Inspired by a series of Web-based Flash rotoscope. Projects by The Chemical Brothers.
