That tag is not beautiful street art. He destroyed a beautiful mural that was thoughtful and well executed with a juvenile attempt at self-expression.

I’ve dealt with youth from 12-15 extensively who have tagging as a hobby. I first expected clients to be really into the “art” of graffiti, only to find that it wasn’t art that most of them were after. It was the “thrill of the chase”, or almost getting caught.

One of your other commenters had it right in that it doesn’t matter if the taggers consider it art. If it’s yours and someone defaces it, it’s a crime. That simple. Would you put up with someone spraypainting your clothes? No? Well you shouldn’t have to worry about your building, either.

And a hell of a lot more work went into that dinosaur mural than did Libre’s 10 second spank-ass throw-up.

Wrong.

If it were equally beautiful and worthy, then they should be confident enough to identify with it and then see how the community responds….

It’s all beautiful street art that must be supported.

Right?

Personally I’ve never really agreed with the concept of tagging as street art, regardless of what it looks like, since neither the private owners NOR the community agrees that they want it. It is done by one or maybe 2 people in the dark of night and selfishly.

But no matter what people believe about that stuff, I think most people would agree that this tagging really sucks. That said, the triceratops needs to get back on the job! Was he napping or something?!?

Just a little sad is all. Off to go see what I can do with it.
