-The aerosol can was developed in 1899 and a mixture of propellants was used to create the aerosol. The cans did not have a good valve system however so it just sprayed the contents of the can out, with no control. In 1927 Erik Rotheim was the first person to create a can with a functioning valve system. The major development of the can came in World War II when the Americans needed insecticides, so it was very important that the cans worked. The Continental Can Company Created the first push button can in 1946. Edward Seymour became the first person to put paint in a can in 1949. <ref> Lewisohn, C. (2011). Abstract graffiti. London: Merrell .</ref> Spray paint was originally designed for household and industrial purposes, but it became the medium for graffiti artists. Writers played with the can such as using fat caps which are wide-spraying nozzles from other consumer products which allowed writers to paint faster and larger areas.<ref>Bofkin, L. (2014).

 Some other materials today include chalk and stickers. Chalk can be seen as a temporary material as it more readily washes away over time and with weather. It is often used for street art done on the ground. This can be seen in front of the National Gallery by Freddy, and many other artists. Stickers are another medium used for street art. Because of there adhesive properties they can only be placed on metal posts or doors. Artists can chose to use this medium as a singular piece of art, by placing one sticker in a well-chosen area. They can also bomb an area with stickers, putting them up as many places as possible in a city.<ref>  Young, A. (2016). Street art world. London, UK: Reaktion Books.Ch.1.</ref>

This little blue guy is from the amazon rain forest, which is currently being chopped down for resources to make goods.

This is a perfect example of the no logo art style, utilizing companies for their wrong purposes and exposing the truth about them. This can also be said for the phone that is held in the blue guy's hand showing we are so focused on material items and social media we don't even realize that the resources to make all these goods are depleting our forests.

London: Merrell .</ref> <br> Photo Connection: Shade's artwork is retro pop with the bold black background which allows the shades of red, yellow and orange to  pop. It also just appears to be a scarecrow, but it actually has a deeper meaning when you look into it. The hands below waving in the air are children's and they are after the money in the air. The scarecrow represents the massive businesses and the children are caught up in money and wealth from consumerism. This is only one of many of his artworks with dark but bold messages.
