you should try your hand at it then, seeing as your paying for it.

king_grubb · 04-01-2009, 20:57

no. I must make clear. I think vandalism is a terrible terrible thing. But i just resent the common belief that all graffiti is catagorically not art.

All unwanted graffiti on private property is not art and it is not wanted. I have no problem with legal walls either

king_grubb · 04-01-2009, 21:20

All property is owned by somebody - what you call public property belongs to us - the majority of us prefer it not to be adulterated

I think most of you are probly old timers that are completly out of touch with the youth. And i suspect most of you associate hip hop culture with crime.
It kind of defeats the object to do it on your own property.
A legal wall would be a great idea, but i doubt it would solve the "problem".

Anyway. Don't get me wrong, i think those pink tags are an eyesore too but i suspect your collective dismay runs deeper than just the appearance of it.

well then please enlighten us with your artistic credentials,if ya have any. there may well be old timers on here that have em.its nothing to do with youth, cretins can be any age. you seem to suspect how people think, i suspect about you, but will save it until ya give just cause.

Do I NEED credential's?

Not to say that I don't have any. But I fail to see the importance.

as you seem to think we are mostly old timers, that are completely out of touch with youth, n associate hip hop culture with crime, one with a head your size, must have credentials.

king_grubb · 04-01-2009, 22:14

haha. I like you.

cashman · 04-01-2009, 22:18

good man have some karma.

ossylass · 04-01-2009, 22:19

King grubb - I'm an "old timer" and I think Banksy is great - but stick your own graffiti on your walls and we'll come and judge it there - if your mum lets you !

king_grubb · 04-01-2009, 22:34

Sorry about the old timers comment. terribly disrespectfull i know. Not gonna help me if i want to make people take my point seriously is it?

Anyway. Shall we settle on a more pleasant term for such people? no. lets not pigeon hole people.

Sorry everyone.

Neil · 04-01-2009, 23:00

Would you like to suggest a term? I don't know what "such people" as you put it call themselves. They get pigeon holed as youths but I would like to know how they see themselves and how they would classify themselves.

Might be a hard question because I am not sure how I would classify myself.
I am 39 with a wife and 5 children, 2 of them from a previous marriage who are a little older than my last 3. I work and and get involved with community projects.

Most people class me as a sarcastic bar steward, which fits quite well really
