minister_for_hardship Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) If you're going to deface something, at least do it legibly. Like what is it supposed to be? Edited May 23, 2012 by Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 If you're going to deface something, at least do it legibly. Like what is it supposed to be? I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that. I once repainted an isolated urban bird-hide which was covered in graffiti, most of which was similar rubbish, but there was one very good bit that I painted round. I was heavily criticised for not obliterating that bit as well, but there was no new graffiti for most of a year afterwards. I'm sure that if I'd painted it all out, then it would have restarted straight away. I like to feel that I was in tune with Banksy before I'd even heard of him..

Shinkansen Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'd have to say I'm a fan of 'street art'. But only when it's executed well, say in Brighton in the UK or in the back streets of the CBD in Melbourne. That 'tagging' nonsence shown above on the Plasser is quiet s#!t. Banksy need not worry about ths lot! I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that.

Garfield Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 is she not stored inside the shed there? Nope, the RPSI locos are stabled at the end of the carraige/railcar sidings at the back of the station, beside the car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Christ that's shameful. I'm a fan of good graffiti, but mindless tagging like that baffles me. They should be taken out and be beaten with a fish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinner75 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Dirt bags! Hopefully it'll be able to be removed easily enough with chemicals & not leave a trace, and not require a repaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this part of the world taggers tend to be gang wanabees and tagging is a way of marking out the gangs territory in much the same way as other animules.

Glenderg Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Are the Irish graffeti crews associated with street gangs or is it a separate thing?John Not so much street gangs as groups vying for power. UEK and ICN are two groups that target places that attract danger. Railways and very tall grain silos are perfect for this. Goons in the crews risk life and limb to tag, but mostly they're stuff has an element of artwork about it. Grift is also ICN affiliated but seems to be another group, one of the most prolific on the IE Dublin network. There are other banksy wannabees like 1up from sheriff street who've had it tough and get off in tagging anything - houses, rail stuff, sleeping dogs nearly - just to get one over on "the man", got bless his "if there was work in the bed, he'd sleep on the floor" cotton socks. There would be more Artwork in a tramps underpants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
