Graffiti

[Bill Walker]

I worked with a lad who was into this about 20 years ago. The Police went around to his house and found all his paint but also he had took videos of himself tagging different public spaces, which were there with his paint, so they had a load of evidence. Apparently the Police found it quite amusing that he had recorded himself and provided them with all the evidence. Not the brightest move.

And then the Magistrate let him off.

No, I'm much older and better looking. (But not richer)

If ever Bez can somehow display the level of genius of Michael and is then requested by the powers that be to apply his paint to adorn the Chapel then I'm sure all will be well.

Mr Angelo had to start somewhere, for all you know he also started on bus stops.

Tagging is horrible.

But with the government saying it's going to get tough on graffiti, even our local councillors are standing on this theme.

Who decides what is graffiti and what isnt ?

Banksy did some graffiti on the side of a house. The wall gets removed ! Yet we have been sent to jet wash graffiti of the side of another house because it wasnt done by banksy but still looked good.

So who decides which graffiti stays and which is jet washed ? How can a young up and coming new banksy make their way into art if the council keep cleaning it of !

Wasn't there a woman in London who painted over the Banksy piece on the side of her house and knocked a few quid off the houses value?
