Ha funny you mention the tires and no go with councils. Fellow got 3 semi loads of used tyres dumped on his farm as extra income as tyre changing places have to pay to get rid of them.
Neat pile out the way on private property. Council fined him few thousand dollars as that is verboten. Apparently…
Another beautiful day in WA as usual, but the wind is quite strong and already submarined the boat twice on its first run.
So brought a screwdriver with me today and waiting for the wind and chop to hopefully die down while giving these a run in the
Depleted all my battery packs fighting the big chop and submarining for the afternoon, and has just turned into a Millpond 20 minutes after my last battery ran out!
As an Artist, Illustrator, Signwriter, Cartoonist etc. myself, I used to absolutely hate Graffiti… but then got to appreciate the Art Form when it was applied by REAL Graffiti Artists.
But there’s still a HUGE difference between Graffiti “Art” and just mindless Vandalism.
Unfortunately 90% of what we have to see and deal with is nothing more than straight out Vandalism.
Heck, even had a crack at it myself as part of the “Medium Studies” section of my Certificate in Art and Design…but wasn’t the fine detail sort of stuff that I am into personally.
Graffiti is art and can be quite cool. It’s very rare though…
Tags are shit, and people who tag are shit people. End of.
There used to be some very good graffiti on side walls of a few businesses where I live, proper art that was allowed to be done by the local businesses and shop owners… then the tagging twats ruined it and now it’s covered by normal paint and gone… like you @Maiphut , they got their walls painted for free
The brick wall we see from our back deck is the rear of an engineering business across the train tracks.
10% of the time it’s painted green, very unobtrusive and blends nicely with the trees in our backyard. No problem.
The other 90% of the time it’s covered with shitty tags from the local Morayfield eshay boneheads. Nothing artisit about it, looks like a can of black spray paint copped a dodgy kebab and threw up all over the wall. It gets repainted green about once a month, not sure if Queensland Rail or the engineering mob foot the bill for that.
We’ve sat on the back deck in the dark and watched the little f*ckers go at it… you can hear them rattling their cans in the dark. They light up with torches, then when a train comes along they shut down the torches and go prone until it’s passed.
Our back fence is only about 20 metres away from them… you don’t know how many times I’ve felt like going prone myself and unloading on the little shits with a gel blaster… but I know what the repercussions of that little mission would be.
That’s the stuff, can’t they see it makes it look like a ghetto slum. Some of the proper graffiti does look good if in the right place and nicely done, but that aint it.
You could always buy a six pack of cans and follow them home and tag shit out of their mums home. What are you doin? Just returning the favour
Got any Red Dot Laser Pointers laying around?
If they’ve watched enough Hollywood movies, a few Red Dots waving around on the wall in front of them might scare them off!
