The Recreational Drug Thread

I had lunch yesterday in this killer Vietnamese place near my work. It's a somewhat classy joint that's kept really clean. Was in the restroom and noticed that someone had tagged the electronic paper towel dispenser.

Now there's art for you.

Graffiti is nice in concept, but it always looks ****. So therefore I hate it.

There is a definite distinction between some low life jerk with a marker, and an actually graffiti artist. It's really not fair to put them both in the same basket, and the difference between a piece of art on a traditional canvas, or on the side of a building is the emotional impact. It does have a place, but where I draw the line is all the gang tagging. It serves no purpose other than territorial dominance.

I really have no issue with graffiti when the canvas/building is sanctioned to perform the work. My issue has always been tagging/painting on someone elses property. Its the ultimate in juvenile depravity. Thats really my only issue is that nobody asked for said person to paint **** on their house.

I'm with ya 100%. Whether it's on the side of your own house, or on public property, guess who pays for removing it.

But what if you really liked his tagging? wouldn't it be then a public favour?
