It’s also funny similar to the stencil art and serious too. Maybe if you think about it a while and look around with a discerning eye, you’ll get it.

Therefore it’s art. Those illegible scribbles were made by some punk brown kid. Not art.

that said, let’s not make this spraypaint piece here out to be a benign & ethereal thing that will “come and go with the seasons”….if it’s actually spraypaint, and not chalk, it’s not going anywhere soon. it’s permanent, like it or not.

They come and go with the seasons and don’t last long underfoot. The scribbles on poles, walls, and windows, mostly illegible, are not art, an artist knows this. I know some of us, our moderator included are confused about where the line is, in this instance it’s clear, it’s art. Or as a great jurist once said in a different context but apropos none-the-less, I know it when I see it.

in 1/10th the amount of time and half the cost it took the “graff artist” dickhead to make this statement, he could have picked a random plastic bag up off the street, picked up the poop, deposited it in a trash can, bought a travel size purell, disinfected their hands, and been home in time to make snarky comments while watching dancing with the stars.

THAT would be really artful, imho.
