is this art or vandalism?
if you have been following this blog for a little while, you will have noticed that i am quite liberal on most things – particularly on anything artsy fartsy.
it breaks my heart when i see a good piece or throw-up on the rail lines being covered over with the ubiquitous brown paint that RailCorp so loves to use. It also bothered me when philjames emailed me to tell me that some of the work that he did that i photographed, had been ripped off the walls, leaving behind nothing more than ugly scars.
i have to say though, what is in this photo of the day is completely crap. it’s most likely the work of some dipshit COFA student trying to be profound. i think that this is crap for the following reasons:
1)your ‘art’ is just complete crap – total smega garbage and it says NOTHING;
2) it can’t be painted over or removed without doing more damage to a tree that has been there for over 100 year than what you have already done. Keep in mind, this is in a densely populated area, where it’s unlikely mature trees will be replaced at all.;
3) total disrespect for nature and neighbourhood (in which he/she probably studies in and is desperate to be accepted into);
4) whoever did this, you are a total cock who needs a good slap – get the fuck out of my neighborhood!
