“Graffiti on a support wall under an overpass that reads:

“‘What kind of paint are you using to paint over this? Because if it is latex, it’s probably way too cold for it. You want good adhesion, you need like at least 40°-45°. Maybe wait till it warms up a little. I mean, what’s the big rush? Like, I’m in a rush now, but our situations are different.’

“You can tell from the photo that previous graffiti was painted over many time with slightly different colors of grey with the latest cover up (that was written over with the above text) showing bubbles and ripples in the paint from using the wrong paint at the wrong temperature.”

    Some of the graffiti looks good and is actual art, but most of it is just trash tagging.

      I dont see the need for such negativity regarding a specific style of graffiti in a community that celebrates graffiti and other forms of vandalism.

        It celebrates sweet graffiti.

        Gnarly graffiti. Radical graffiti.

        Ken Was Here has to at least use an interesting font to make the cut, no?

          Sweet graffiti etc. is the topic and of course the main focus, but as the mod I would be very disappointed if this turns into a judgy, tag hating and only artsy graffiti approving community.

          So for sure, posts should be on topic. Discussions dont have to be on topic all the time, but I would prefer to not have this kind of negativity around parts of graffiti culture.
