Graffiti

Is it "art" or vandalism?
When they "tag" your property at 2am with crap WITHOUT your permission, its vandalism. Despite what Banksy or the leftist morons say about about it. Ugly gang banging territorial marking SHIT isn't art.

Wanton, hateful destruction.

I peruse old pictures and videos from say 1890's. Or the 1950's I marvel at the fact there isn't graffiti over everything. Boxcars or bare brick walls. I hate that we accept this crap. It's ugly...and beyond that.

I love public art. August St. Gardens. Real artist. Not idiots with spray cans defacing my garage at 2 Am.

I just realized something. I moved to a very small Midwest town a little over a month ago and it just occurred to me that I have seen no graffiti here! I went from Seattle six years ago to a small Western Washington town and could not get away from it. I think I'll take a driving tour of the parts of town I haven't seen yet, to see if there's any hidden graffiti. I've been trying to put my finger on what's different about this place and I think that might be a big factor. It's very refreshing.

Bansky is paid to do what he does. It's performance art basicaly. He plans it out weeks in advance on sketch boards . He's not crawling up a freeway overpass at 2: 45 AM scrawling illegible crap over a freeway overpass doing it off the cuff. Its contrived. And he compares this to say...Da Vinci painting on the Sistine chapel. Yeah, right.

Graffiti is like a bad tattoo

I do like Banksy

Banksy is just a political cartoonist. He doesn't put his "art" up there without approval from the bigwigs. That would make a great great political cartoon/skit.

To me, not having permission to create it is what makes it vandalism.

God bless you always!!!

Spray paint hadn't been invented in the 1890s.
