Comments on 71st St Vs. Argentina: Graffiti Wars
Now that's wall art!
Can we post the home addresses of Stranger staffers so we can tag them?
After all, it's art ...
that was amazing!
The artist must have destroyed half the remaining ozone layer with all that spraypaint
Or you could go to a free wall and see some really nice street art. Of course the art on the streets here isn't as elaborate because people can't spend a great deal of time on it. The second the spray can comes out they'd probably be busted.
fuck your graffiti.
First one's better.

Stop it, Will. You're embarrassing yourself.
Sorry Kelly; I even sent it along to someone else at The Stranger before posting it, and he didn't flag it as a repost, either. Hat tip to YOU!
That's actually way above average for a Seattle tagger. We have the lowest-wattage graffiti artists in the world.
not to worry - that video's so nice, we posted it twice!
Sadly, I have to say that @12 wins, which is why I posted @2.
Seattle taggers are the lowest scum of the earth. Bastards, the whole lot of them. I would love to catch one of those guys some day and beat the living shit out of them
the only place they seem to have the time to do good work is on the express lanes on sunday night.
otherwise, if they tried that buenos aires stuff, in broad daylight, they wouldn't get the first 10 seconds of animation done.
No, @14 - because what you say makes no sense.
--in the comment, in the comment. The comment makes no sense.
Anybody who has been to any non-sterile urban environment knows how glorious graffiti can be. There are stencils in Barcelona that would blow your mind; tags in Tokyo that would take your breath away; murals in Mexico City that would make you cry. Graffiti doesn't flourish in Seattle because of the abundant idiots who equate cleanliness with culture. Writers here have little chance to hone their skills when know-nothings like Will call the authorities at the first sign of art outside the lines.
However, I'm heartened by the amount of graf I'm seeing recently. Tags and cool images seem to be popping up (and sticking!) in Seattle for the first time in recent memory, and it bodes well for a colorful future.
how is it a coincidence?
@18 - he who lives by the atrocious "art" that passes for Graffiti here in Seattle, "dyes" by the "tag".
It's called comeuppance.
Or payback.
You choose.
i have seen a few of FNARF'S tags on walls in local bars, they look remarkably similar to the tag in this post; he's right very low wattage indeed.
The only thing I ever write on barroom toilet walls is "this gum tastes terrible" on the condom machines, or "I'll wash my own goddamn hands, you bastards" on the "employees must wash hands" sign.
Cool video and all, but would you let a tagger do that on your building? What if somebody did it without your knowledge or permission? Still okay with that?
Problem is that this is not an example of wall art, but rather video art. in the end you have a wall and sidewalk with white paint sploches.

I noticed that. T_T
He should stick to music. He's really a sub-par gamer.
