It’s like if Picasso painted Guernica over Starry Night!

Awesome…I mean weak…I mean awesome…I mean weak. I’m so confused!
Right!?
what the fuck does this have to do with the Mission?
Everything.
*like*
Are there unspoken tag rules? I always assumed/hoped murals and art would be respected…
Do the bulls count as their own mural? Or is it elaborate graffiti?
There’s supposed to be, but seems some f’ers don’t really care about anything but pissing their paint over anything and everything. On my block, two murals have been plastered over with tags. It’s irksome. Seems the SF graf movement has moved from “saying some interesting things about property rights” to “not giving a shit about shit.”

Interesting article (thanks), but I smell a little bit of bullshit. If the city didn’t paint over graffiti and, eventually, a great piece made it up on the wall, I don’t think it would be long before it was plastered over by some dipshit. Even it weren’t the case, you’d have some competition for the best walls in which the good guys are trying to outdo each other (cool) and the toys are left to tagging whatever’s left. Which is the garage. Or sidewalk. Or fence. (weak)
My sadness and irritation at seeing the lazer kitties covered up nullifies any appreciation for the new “mural”. Methinks the new artist has disrespected some very basic boundaries–ego much?
Every time you paint over a mural, God kills a kitten.
Three at one blow, in this instance.
There’s a wall that needs a quick dose of Last’s mixing mistakes paint.
A bona fide graffiti mural sprayed over commissioned work…
Real street art or canned corn….hmmm…of cats….with laserbeams….
They could always hype the street artist and then celebrate that they have an original.
ps – as soon as you get used to the bulls, someone else is going to have their turn. Might as well go with the flow..and turn it into a challenge or something else creative instead of lamenting the culture which they tried to imitate. Or commission art with an actual message instead of an internet meme.
ps – the bulls should be a clue as to what the graf artist thought of the cats.
Like the basic disrespect wasn’t enough. Seriously. Did the bitch-ass, bull-sucking taggers give the slightest thought to what the neighborhood thought of that wall before they smeared their shit on it? Of course not.
GO
FUCK
YOUR
SELF.
(and your idea that any kind of message is somehow more important than a good wall)
COMG: Hear, hear.
Whatever, poser.
Time you all to get out of the mission – you think you own it! You think you can put a mural up and not have it painted over.
‘Any message’…etc bullshit quote: what are you talking about?
Pricks like you are the type that don’t appreciate something like Reminisce’s horses until a blog or gallery tells you it’s cool.
I’m talking about a comment you made, dumbass:
“Or commission art with an actual message instead of an internet meme.”
Do you read your own stuff after you channel it out of your ass?
And believe it, I never liked those stupid horses and, praise Jebus, had completely forgotten them — just as I’ll gratefully forget all the other lame crap your buddies paint. At least Reminisce wised-up, got an education and quit painting on other people’s stuff. But she’s still pretty lame.
…This is why we can’t have nice things, people.
Here’s a nice thing: http://sfist.com/attachments/SFist_AndrewD/Laserists.gif
THIS SHOULD LAY THIS WHOLE ARGUMENT TO REST, MAYBE: http://sfist.com/2010/12/24/and_here_we_are_divisadero_street_a.php
Wait, and now they pulled it off altogether? How thoroughly retarded!
