Awesome Graffiti in Toronto

[Gin]

The Grey Ghost was the name of a superhero that Adam West voiced in Batman: The Animated Series.

So the question is, which is worse: the graffiti or the Grey Ghost's big grey splotches? Most of the city thinks the latter is worse, but I'm not really sure.

So what you're asking is which is better: elaborate and colourful murals in places that people may or may not want them; or amorphous grey splotches in places where people may or may not want them.

GEE.

I DUNNO.

Well, the reason I'm not really sure is that I hate all the tags around. If he just stuck to tags, everything would be fine. I would much prefer to see a big grey splotch than a stupid name signature or something. But you're right about the murals.

My town has graffiti. It's all crap. It deserves some street art.

[Kelso]

he sounds like a comic book villain, if the hero was a graffiti artist.

Spray King?

If he just stuck to tags he'd be a complete hypocrite (more so), who gets to judge whats creative and nice to look at and what isn't? It's completly subjective.

That's true, but tags still suck balls.

Tags still trump the alternative.

I would rather see the blank metal back of a seat or a clean window than one covered in ugly and idiotic tags.

Y'see, that's the thing. Everyone on the planet (except the people that put it there in the first place I suppose) think tags are icky. So perhaps he wouldn't be hypocritical since it's a unanimously agreed thing.

I like this Grey Ghost fellow, though! Keep up the good work.

Depends on how well the tag is done, I know a few people at my school who actually got into the art program (which isn't something to scoff at) because of some of their tag-work.

As I said earlier: if you want to draw, get a piece of paper.

Yea but where do you think some of that work is? And if it looks anything like what they have on the paper, I don't think I'd mind seeing it.

I should take a picture of the mural in the Student Center here, I think you guys (Wolf) might like it.

Knight isn't against graffiti she just really hates trees.

That's a pretty narrowminded view to be honest.
You can't just say "Use a peice of paper" because the medium is a pretty important part of any peice of art.

The problem with art is anyone can do literally anything and claim it's art.

Some dude in some latin country I forget the name of had chained a dog up and starved it to death, and called it art.

And I'm sure whoever owns the house or building is being vandalized doesn't appreciate the "art" of their building being ruined, whether it's with a very pretty picture or a retarded tag.

If it wasn't a crime, it'd be fine. But it is, and people don't appreciate it, so I guess graffiti is just the most artistic way to be an asshole =/
