"No matter how attractive the artwork,Graffitti "Tagging", in most people's minds, is associated with "Gang-thug" activity whether a gang actually did it or not" now should a graffiti artists be held down with this stigma because people are too ignorant to realize less than a percent of the graffiti is done by gangs. "Trashing trains is simply "Not Cool!""

It would interfere with their image, and they would be expected to produce, not just do it when it struck their fancy" okay, now if you were an artist, would you rather ask permission to execute a piece of work and possibly be restricted in what your ideas are capable of, or be allowed to freely create whatever you can fathom, now im not advocating painting your neighbors car, but could you imagine telling the solo artist, collosus of the roads, the rambler, herby(rip), or any other moniker artist that what they are doing is so wrong and that they should ask permission and do it on a wall??? that's rediculous because when it comes down to it, it's a freight thing just as much as it is a graffiti thing... i imagine that a good percentage of those kids painting the trains love sitting and benching all day long, watching trains, marvelling at a fresh new smoothy, with freight graffiti, you have to take the good with the bad, and if you look at those trains above, i would definately say that the good out weighs the bad. "But I do like the look of the 9/11 vandalizing art, I have seen this one roll by me several times" stokerk, out of curiosity, is this on a black CP hopper?
