Both Urban Art and Vandalism.

Art, if they paint it on the sides of their OWN house......

Art, would love to see people being able to put this kind of work on leisure centre walls and skate parks, where it would be viewed as art and not vandalism.

Art I'd say. Like :-

That is art, vandalism is scrawling "lisa is a slag" on a random wall on teh way home from the pub.

Not that Lisa is a slag, of course.

No, but I believe "M Khan is bent".

It's a disgusting disgraceful mess. The culprits should be caught & neutered.

It's on a par with middle lane dawdlers, front fog lights & people who don't consider cigarette ends as litter.

Not sure I would want to be living nearby if there are a number of artists/vandals involved and they are still not on medication.

But then I think it's disgusting that the authorities have taken literally thousand of years to clean up the stuff that featured animals and hunting in all those caves scattered around Europe.

Mrs Meeja will be pleased to hear that... (And presumably, Mrs Fish as well!)

Now if we were really pretentious, we could say that its art because it is vandalism!

[murph7355]

When it's done well, and in the right setting, I think it's brilliant.



Even graffiti on graffiti (look closely on this one):



And on shutters it doesn't hurt at all as you don't generally see it through the day:



Last one

PS I like the one with the vans, but wish it were bit more imaginative on what was painted...

The people who should be shot are the Architects!

However, it is very impressive and you must very talented to do it, if u look at all the different shades and mixing. Its amazing.

[V6GTO]

Agreed, the images above IMHO are art - they've obviously spent time thinking about it and are quite talented.

This however is vandalism. I think most people can spot the difference.
