I think this might be the same person who did this last time, it's very close to where I saw the last one. Which the city dealt with in a matter of days from when I saw it, so maybe this particular canvas of street art will also get cleaned/painted over.

(I'm not against street art - I'm rather fond of some of the prettier examples of it as an art form, and tagging is an interesting form of self expression - I just said that in that I'm curious how long it will take the city to do something about this tag, since the previous one I found on City property also caused it and nearby graffiti to be quickly cleaned when previously ignored, and graffiti on a trash receptacle is the ultimate "not worth cleaning".)

defacing public infrastructure isn't art. And all it takes to be creative is a pencil and paper. A lot easier to acquire and use than a spray pain can.

Lmao. You think taggers and graffiti artists don't do that already?

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

If taggers do that they apparently aren't sharing it with the world.

Lol yeah OK. I'll just post some concepts I've sketched out of my illegal activities on the internet. That's a very good idea.

~~twitter~~ Hexbear the only place where where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted. you can say I like pancakes and somebody will say so you so you hate waffles no that's a whole new sentence wtf is you talkin about

Most of the tagging in Seattle isn't even block lettering. It's some random scribbles. They probably aren't even in a normal mental state doing this stuff. People will go out of their way to draw a couple black lines on a random object. It baffles me.
