What I have always found funny is when people say shit like, ohh I don't like the tagging but I like the street art... which is fair enough... but they don't understand that when they are giving praise to an artist doing a commission or a gallery or whatever.. chances are that same person will go out that night and paint a train, or a track side, or whatever... except for certain losers who never got up but take all the glory for the effort put in by real writers
Yeah but there's a difference between art and vandalism.
Scribbling letters and shit all over the place is just being a ****... no two ways about it. It's not art, it's vandalism.
But a nice murial (and I can appreciate that), has artistic value and is nice to look at.
To give you an example nearby where I live there is heaps of new development. One of the estates has a brick wall that faces the street and protects the homes that back onto the road from noise. It's been up probably 6 months at most, and some dickhead has already scrawled shit all over it. If that was the back of my place I'd be insanely fucked off about that.
On the flipside a few streets away there is a big development with panelled fencing all the way around. It's probably been there 12-18 months, and they had local graf artists do some pretty cool murials along it. That looked quite nice, but in blank sections and over some of the murials some stupid ***** vandalised/tagged shit over them.
Complete lack of respect for others properties.
Maybe the Premier could spend her millions on bringing back country trains instead of building tunnels under Sydney, Glenn Innes first up.
Little demand or industry up there to demand train services. Far more in Sydney to get commuters around.
