Very cool

....though I'm kind of anit-graffiti personally. You want to express yourself? Go for it, but don't vandalize.

well, I guess I was a grumpy young man. When I was a freshman in college, I had friends who 'tagged' or did graffiti art on some of the buildings on campus; pissed me off big time.

cool... plus, he's painting the walls white after all anyway. And some of it over existing graffiti.
What more cities/towns have to do is have more "commissioned graffiti".

This I agree with 100% because much of it is amazing. Establish a medium for the artists to do their work.

That said, many of these artists prefer to deface people's private property; almost a rebellious type thing. Those individuals should be prosecuted without vengeance in my opinion.

Andy Warhol said that graffiti was the best thing that happened to the subways. Ed.
