JR "The 99 Percent" Response

From reading the blog post about him, one can immediately tell that JR is an artist that is all about connecting to the people as well as the communities. He really embodies "VA 4 life". Ever since he was 17, he had been daring with his work, running around the streets of France tagging. It was probably his fearless attribute that brought him to explore new media, like pasting, and to travel to places like Liberia. He is an artist that works in very smart ways to involve the public. He made his name anonymous to attract less attention on himself. His project, "The Inside Out Project", is sponsor free to allow freedom with the work. He pastes pictures of the common folk to make the focus about the people. This all happens world wide too. It really motivate other artists to join.
