"The walls are alive . . . "

Vandalog has posted notice of Atlanta's Living Walls conference:

Later this month, Atlanta is going to be taken over by street artists from around the world for this year’s edition of the Living Walls conference, Living Walls: the City Speaks. From the 12th-14th of August, there will be film screenings, lectures and artists painting murals around the city. Living Walls have brought together an impressive artist roster from around the world including (but not limited to) Doodles, Swampy, Gaia, Roa, Labrona, OverUnder, Sam3, Freddy Sam, White Cocoa, Nanook, Greg Mike, Paper Twins, Clownsoldier and Gawd. And I can’t complain about the keynote speakers either: Tristan Manco, Gaia, Ricky Lee Gordon and me.

The famous song actually goes (cue Julie Andrews): The hills are alive, with the sound of music . . . Perhaps it needs to be rewritten: The walls are alive, with graffiti talking . . . Who's gonna' sing it?
