As to what I think of her work , it reminds me alot of what Fafi does but unlike Fafi its gritty, Fafi's work has alot of attitude but its become too cutesy for my liking.Not that I mind cute since living in Japan has made me accept all that is cute. I googled Maldonado and found this gem of a video via http://vimeo.com. What really got me laughing though was some dude I think around 0:33 mark , he says something along the lines of "this is nasty , this is not right, we don't treat females like this..." Wow , really dude in which planet don't they treat women like that , but anyways I'm looking forward to what Maldonado is going to come up with next
"42nd Street Mural" - NY reactions from Mykwain Gainey on Vimeo.
I really do hope she doesn't become one of those artists we hear about and then forget later. It seems like such a common occurance especially with female artists and especially those in a male dominated medium such as graffiti.
