Discipline thing [edit]

The flick focuses on the careers and work of a commonage group of artists who since the 1990s began a movement in the fine art world using D.I.Y. aesthetics from skateboarding, graffiti and underground music such equally punk rock and hip-hop.[4] The artists discussed and interviewed in the film include Thomas Campbell, Cheryl Dunn, Shepard Fairey, Harmony Korine, Geoff McFetridge, Clare Rojas, Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Steve "Espo" Powers, Aaron Rose, Ed Templeton, Deanna Templeton, and Mark Gonzales.

A series of interviews with these artists explains their reasoning behind their "do-information technology-yourself" mode of street fine art. Every bit some of these artists hash out their growth in popular artistic civilization they explicate how becoming renowned and admired in the fine art world was something that never occurred to them from their various roots in street culture, or just creating fine art for themselves. As many of the artists began to be recognizable and sought after they discuss their serial of commercial success: creating advertisements for popular products, designing products themselves, working in film and being hired to paint and create artwork in well known locations. The personal feelings and convictions of some of the artists and how creating work for corporations compares to their ancestry in street civilisation is likewise discussed. The film portrays the artists every bit outside the realm of gimmicky art.
