Pissed off tax paying citizen: I totally agree with the previous statement, so far no "taggers" have been able to justify that. How about they somehow buy a house and let all their little homies tag it! Then it would......

Marty Chavez hates Children: First of all, who are the "Concerned citizens of New Mexico" to say Graff Artists don't own anything of Value? Moving on, tagging, is a totally different thing than most of the art above, which......

EvilGentleman: Yes indeed, it was hard at first, but once bag-tagging was taken to hand, a good stiff competition soon developed. One great prospect after another would rise to the forefront, only to be sacked shortly......

Editor: Other thing to note that images over 600 pixels tend to push the site layout off the visible screen for people running lower screen resolutions. Also a good way of linking a series of posts......

in response to: Criminalize Greed, Not Graffiti by Peter

EvilGentleman: To my way of thinking, graffiti should be both encouraged and it's location controlled within reason, with penalties for those who put graffiti in places where it has no business being. Now, before you all......

Jonesitis: Clearly this is not a case of motorist vs. cyclist. It is a prime example of urban vs. suburban lifestyle. In suburbia, it is OK to disrespect the envinronment, and people you don't......

Jamie: i agree. personally i'm a huge non-fan of tagging/bombing unless it's somehow unique and or equisitely executed. The {sixy trolls} were a modern masterpiece and their loss is a true crime....
