"When does vandalizing railroad cars cross over into the realm of art?? Here are some of my thoughts: when it uses more than two colors when it includes more than "a tag" when it is a group effort when it does not contain profanity when it trys to convey a message, even if we don't always understand it when care is taken not to obscure reporting marks" i dissagree for the simple fact that art has no boundaries or limitations, yes graffiti on trains is vandalism, but the fact that it is illegal does not take away the artistic merits of the work, so for anyone to say it is not art is dead wrong. art is not contingent on whether it is legal or not.
