Could you possibly stop posting photos of vandalism? Although this is quite a bit more public than the average bathroom scrawl done by some drunk who has a paint marker and hopes that Allan Hough will take a shit in the same stall, by blogging it you’re still giving free publicity to a work that is done in damage to someone else’s property. It’s not news. And it’s not cool. How about a cleanup cost estimate with each of these posts, if you must post them at all? At least stop calling it “street art.” Art spray-painted on a bus stop- or on private property without the owner’s consent- is vandalism. Calling it something else doesn’t lend it or you moral authority.
