You know, some of this stuff really is good. I'm an art teacher, and I wish I'd have some of my kids have the skills to do work like this. So how can we (whoever "we" are) encourage the creativity without the trespassing and painting on someone else's property? I guess my point is that if they're doing it for the sake of doing good art, find a way to channel it in to some sort of acceptability. Not the content, of course, but a means for more people to see it without considering it destructive. I wonder if those guys realize they could probably make good money getting commissions for large murals or paintings? Diego Rivera the great Mexican muralist worked his whole life in a large scale like this, and people accept it as being some of the best work ever. These guys are just as good, they just need a vehicle for their talent. It would be interesting to find some of these people and learn what motivates them. If it's art for the sake of doing great art, find something they can paint on. But if they're doing it just to tag or someother subversive reason, then I just don't know... mike art teacher extraordinaire
