   there’s nothing worse than cheap, ugly graffiti. Where’s the craftsmanship? The only place you see it around here is on the sides of train cars

   The use of the terms graffiti and art together is an oxymoron. Graffiti is just vandalism and those who do it may as well be painting signs that show that they are idiots and losers, because that is what they are.

   There are plenty of projects where people interested in “urban art” can constructively join in. There is no need to vandalize structures. Leaving scars on public and private structures just adds to the blight. Perhaps some Sharia law could be imposed and the hands of these vandals could just be lopped off.

   Just what we need, more handless, homeless artists. Let him be an example to the rest!

   To me, what that guy does that Style wrote about this week isn’t vandalism, it’s art. My main problem with graffiti is that it sucks. Most of it is watered down versions of late 70’s/early 80’s Brooklyn, New York and what this unnamed gentleman does is completely different. Also, his work can be removed much easier than the the work of an idiot with a spray can. Not once have I seen his stuff around the city did I think it was a blight on the environment. It always makes me happy to see his work.

   So why doesn’t the jack off ask permission to express his “art”. Tagging a building or sign violates the owner and the architect of the building.

   I hope he gets time with some big sweaty dude in jail.
