I am perfectly fine with well done graffiti; things that are actually aesthetically well done. But the taggers that just scribble a dumbass alias similar to how this was done suck and just make things look even uglier.
This particular image is only okay with me because it is artistic with the message and the canvas itself. But if some teenager just came and scribbled “Blorbo” on it, fuck that.
I’ll try and remember this for the what would you to with fuck you money question. I’d rent or buy all ad space and make it art space or put plants on it.
I also dislike scrawled low-effort tags. They’re an act of selfishness, making work for others to clean up. They don’t show any skill other than sneakiness of getting it done. No one wants to see that junk. They are not good.
That said, I’d still prefer crappy tags rather than ads. I hate the ads and the manipulative power of advertising. So if there was somehow a choice between crappy tags vs high-quality ads, I’d choose the tags. (But obviously, that’s all a moot point. Higher quality art / graffiti would be better than both other options. Obviously.)
