ALL of “artists” who are caught defacing public works or private property should be shot dead on the spot.
Just my opinion of course.
Long ago, some LA businesses were hiring the better grafitti artists to paint grafitti-style murals on their buildings. Some of them were quite impressive. At least back then, other artists and the taggers would have enough respect not to deface the art. Nowdays nobody gives a damn, and they’d tag their grandmother if she sat still too long.
And I thought I was hardcore.
