I mean, I don't go into your house and paint your walls just because:
a) I am good at painting, or
b) I think it looks nice on your house

I reckon you'll pull out a shotgun and blow my head off.

So stick to your OWN canvas. If you keep that respect for someboy, we won't have any problems anymore, right? But paint at SOMEONE else's expense without permission is vandalism. How hard can this be?

PS. we sure like to 'theorize' and 'justify' our actions these days.

If vandalism is art, then genocide is just accelerated Darwinism	Rade	December 04, 2008 06:19PM
Public graffiti spaces are cool, slap tagging and tagging for "turf" marking is ridiculous	hopelessdwarf	December 04, 2008 03:17PM

It's vandalism.	cointreau	December 04, 2008 12:52PM
Just because it's vandalism, and just because you don't appreciate it, doesn't make it not art. See my post below. nt	Splntrd	December 04, 2008 03:15PM
ACtually because its vandalism I really think that negates the term art but thats my opinion n/t	hopelessdwarf	December 04, 2008 03:20PM
Not at all.	Splntrd	December 04, 2008 03:38PM
Vandalism= damaging property that you dont own=someone else has to pay to clean it up= not art n/t	hopelessdwarf	December 04, 2008 04:21PM

Sure, vandalism is wrong. It's disrespectful and costly. But it can also be art. nt	Splntrd	December 04, 2008 05:06PM

Saying graffiti is art is like saying banging sticks on a hollow log is music	ExPaladin(VIP)	December 04, 2008 03:41PM
I never said the vast majority of it wasn't shitty.	Splntrd	December 04, 2008 03:46PM

Depends on the Graffiti. I like witty or artistic tags. nt	Someone Not Special, Esquire	December 04, 2008 11:14AM
It's annoying and usually looks trashy.	The Forsaken(VIP)	December 04, 2008 08:55AM
Is it any better than corporate america force feeding you with their signs from cradle to grave?	Lokain	December 04, 2008 10:21AM
Neither do I, so long as they paid for it.	The Forsaken(VIP)	December 04, 2008 10:34AM
Yes because that's an incredibly easy thing to accomplish. Far easier than getting spraypaint and tagging the boards. THANKS FOR THE AWESOME INSIGHT! n/t	Lokain	December 04, 2008 10:44AM
Addendum: Good movie out there about taggers called "Bomb the System" nt	Lokain	December 04, 2008 10:23AM
It's not art. It's shit. Go get some paper, or pay for what you're drawing on. NT	Batman	December 04, 2008 08:54AM

When your art extends uninvited to things you don't own, it's NOT art. It's vandalism.	vladamir	December 04, 2008 09:01AM

Re: You're missing the point.	StinkyDino	December 04, 2008 08:10PM
No, it's as hard to do graffiti well as any other art medium. Vandalism issues and legality aside it's just a medium, what you can do with it is what matters.	Scrimbul	December 04, 2008 09:49PM
If it was comissioned by the owner of that building, it's art. If not, then vandalism. nt	vladamir	December 04, 2008 11:54AM
You couldn't be more wrong.	Splntrd	December 04, 2008 03:12PM
Because the concept of art is subjective.	DurNominator(VIP)	December 04, 2008 09:34PM
Yeah, see, here's an example of beautiful things that take too long to explain	Batman	December 05, 2008 04:20AM

It doesn't take an art degree to tell when someone's private property has been defaced.	istirith	December 04, 2008 05:23PM

Exactly. I'm talking about it on the whole as viewed by society.	istirith	December 04, 2008 08:03PM
