While one can argue (correctly) that it still damages the finish, and the tagger is trespassing, et al, it's still not as offensive as the work of today's mural "artists. " I mentioned in another thread an auto carrier I saw with the whole side painted. Wonder how he managed to afford all that paint? <br /> <br />It was mentioned that some of these people have had work shown in noted galleries. If they are that good, let 'em do "real" art and leave other people's property alone. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Mabee a few RR cops should attend these "art" showings and press charges. If you are stupid enough to graffitti up a car and then show your work at a public venue you ought to be locked up for a bit. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br /><b>That is just as naive as it is stupid, which I guess can be the same thing. You cant just pin a simliar looking piece of art from a car/canvas. This isnt csi or a serial killer, its an artist. They dont leave dna or anyting behind. There is no hard evidence to snatch them up. <br /> <br />I flick railroad graffiti a whole lot, I like how it looks, but thats an opinion, I guess I'm more open minded than most people.</b> <br /> <br />[img]http://www.fotosrv.com/img/1131475755king.jpg[/img] <br /> <br /><b>Those insuniuating that these people all steal their paint, thats just ignorant, its their lifestyles, much in the same fashion as railfanning is yours. Wouldnt you find it rather ingorant that if people said something like "oh, i wonder how they afford all that camera equipment, stolen...." <br /> <br />That autorack if anyone cares, is a proposal <br /> <br />"will you marry me" the bottom says"</b> <br /> <br />[img]http://www.fotosrv.com/img/1131475755king.jpg[/img] <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />[img]http://www.graffinc.com/images/rip07.JPG[/img] <br /> <br /><b>This guy passed away last month, and all his friends did his name, but then again, all graffiti artists are gangsters and care bout nothing, right?</b> <br /> <br /> <br />
