Graffiti - Art or Vandalism?
Down the hill from us is a trail that goes along the Speed River and passes by an apartment building. The wall adjacent to the path is the side of the underground parking, and is not pretty, to say the least. Lots of "kids" (read ne'er-do-wells) hang out down there at night, letting off fireworks and getting up to other mischief, including spray-painting the wall. Recently, after some years of some quite interesting painting and scrawling, the owners of the building painted the whole "canvas" grey. Well, it wasn't long before some creative types set to work making the bland, grey canvas into their own studio. Sure, there are some tags and other ugly bits of work, but I'm intrigued by the "stencillers", who clearly have put some time and effort into their work. I thought I'd share some examples with you.
