There's a big difference between that(Ian's pic) & folk tagging their names/tags all over the place.That's decorative & good to look at-name tags are not.

In fact I think any urban art is a hugely positive thing. But the majority of most so-called 'art' is just mindless vandalism, nothing more.

As for the description of taggers I come under the "fucking cunt" section. I would have gone with 'arsehole'.

No, he/it is a twat. Probably too middle class and knows not how to escape from the mindset.

Banksy's work is very politicised, something that rarely sits well with good art. Its a shame that the most interesting placement of art in the community is essentially an illegal act.

I sometimes wonder if the very fact it is illegal is what brings out the natural talent in the artists.
I was given a copy of "Subway Art" when I was about 13 and was very impressed by some of the quality.
Obviously there is loads of crap about as well but a properly constructed piece is a nice thing to look at.
Certainly better than a blank wall or a mural which has been intricately planned.
If I had a blank surface I would prefer a class act illegal piece on it to a contract job any day of the week.

The funniest news story for ages was about three kids who were killed by a train while out vandalising a bridge one evening. Taggers are scum. I remember this coming under discussion on here at the time and the general consensus was that while graffiti painting was an activity to be condemned, people do tend to engage in foolish activities in their youth and a person revelling in the deaths of three people for what is a fairly victimless crime in comparison to many others undoubtedly has mental health issues.
