      I am perfectly fine with well done graffiti; things that are actually aesthetically well done. But the taggers that just scribble a dumbass alias similar to how this was done suck and just make things look even uglier.

      This particular image is only okay with me because it is artistic with the message and the canvas itself. But if some teenager just came and scribbled “Blorbo” on it, fuck that.

        I imagine most people hold that opinion. People don’t want scribbles on their walls. That’s why they hide the crayons from their toddlers.

        Our world os covered with pushy stock-photo ads saying “WOW! XYZ for 9.99/month BUY NOW!!! Yaaaa!!!ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪”

        What if all those ad spaces became art spaces? Murals would add beauty, culture, and serenity. Honor history, accomplishments, unheard voices, nature, abstract, superheroes, wherever.

        So many canvases could be available for us to view.

          I’ll try and remember this for the what would you to with fuck you money question. I’d rent or buy all ad space and make it art space or put plants on it.

                It never happens where you are so you are upset by the proposition? Situations can change. What is stopping art from working like the ever-changing ads you prefer?

        I also dislike scrawled low-effort tags. They’re an act of selfishness, making work for others to clean up. They don’t show any skill other than sneakiness of getting it done. No one wants to see that junk. They are not good.

        That said, I’d still prefer crappy tags rather than ads. I hate the ads and the manipulative power of advertising. So if there was somehow a choice between crappy tags vs high-quality ads, I’d choose the tags. (But obviously, that’s all a moot point. Higher quality art / graffiti would be better than both other options. Obviously.)
