counterculture:
in sociology, counterculture is a term used to describe a cultural group whose values and norms are at odds with those of the social mainstream, a cultural equivalent of a political Opposition.

Im inviting you into a society im creating.

This society will be a league of guerilla artists.

In todays world, artists can be the most important figures in sending messages of society that need to be sent.
We are the storytellers, and the griots of todays world.


Artists with a passion for social justice use their craft to defy what is normally accepted by society. use your craft to make a statement about who you are, and how you view society.

Funerals, weddings, burials...anywhere where people will say that cameras arent allowed and are shunned.

People shun street musicians, as people who are "disturbing the peace" or playing too loud, or musicians who play music too "dark."

Share your music anywhere, and play where it is not welcome.

Paint murals anywhere-bridges, hotels, government buildings,
the world is your canvas.

Grafiti is a misconception, and a term born out of ignorance.
People who shun public street art, whether in graffiti form, street music or street photography are merely insecure with others invading their "personal space" and changing their lives.

A new generation of counterculture artists, my friend.

please join me and become a member(note me) if you want to.
this is in its very early stages and is still developing,
but the gallery will eventually be for submissions sent in.

"I've feeling I may not be coming down from this,
I was searching through the heavens and somehow I slipped,
I feel, I'm seeing so clear
Trying to forget tomorrow and all that's happened,
This is not the way, the way I was meant to be."
:iconbreathlessbrahma:

" seems like it won't take off! what's up admin'!?!"

to whoever wrote that---- i am not the only deviant in this group. i may be the admin, but the entire reason i sent out login info was so that people could submit deviations at their own pace. i do as much as i can, but every needs to pull their own weight for the group.
if i didnt want other people to be involved, then i wouldnt have made a group.
so whoever wrote that, i challenge you to try to make things take off.
dont rely on one person to do everything. take initative

and if someone wants to talk to me, note me on my personal account, dont childishly sent out a comment to the whole group to annoy me; you know who to talk to.
peace, alec
