No offence Patrick actually no, I don't mean that. Tagging is the stupidest type of graffiti. If you have to vandalise someone's property, at least make it artistic or thought-provoking.

If you want to do graffiti, make sure you put what you want, instead of forcing yourself to come up with something someone else considers artistic or thought provoking. Art isn't there to be aesthetically pleasing, and it doesn't need to be deeply philosophical. You don't need any talents or skills to be an artist, you just need to do it.
The Seldom Killer:
Barmy- I agree. You see tags thrown up everywhere and at that density it renders itself meaningless. I can appreciate when places that are really difficult to access are tagged but that's about it. At least you can respect the challenge to acheive that.
Other than that it just seems to be a matter of saying "I was here". Great, but on a bus shelter or a junction box or the same wall that everyone else has hit, is that really the best you can come up with. Sure, art doesn't need to be aesthetic, philosophical or anything else really, but art is a two way street and challenging the artist is a valid response, even if nothing should come of it.

So I guess I'm gonna be a brother. Mom leaves for Nepal in two weeks, probably comes home after tree weeks after that with three years old Maldavi. It's a first for me, so it's pretty exciting.
