Graffiti

[Helenalexandra1]

I've just noticed that someone's scrawled something in black paint on my front wall. Annoying but just wondered whether there was a procedure of reporting it to the police or council or shall I just get scrubbing?!

Thanks

[keekybreeks]

if nits done by a balck kid in a hoodie, report it to the police and get him incarcerated

If its a white kid with a beanie, then call dulwich gallery who will make him famous

Call the council, environmental services have a "graffiti removal squad"

How stupid.

You don't know much about art, do you?

Jean-Michel Basquiat was a very famous black graffiti artist, to name just one.

Hello Fellow Graffiti Sufferer

Good on you for getting straight to the scrubbing. Leaving it there too long always seems to encourage more. When you have finished, if you haven't decided we should immediately bring back hanging for vandalism, then you have managed your sense of humour much better than I!

You can file a report online with the Met Police, if it's the first time.

On one occasion I came home to too much graffiti for me to deal with myself, so I used Southwark Council's online form to request their cleaning service. I think that fell into an online black hole, so I had to phone and deal with a lady who wasn't sure whether the service is free (it is, if the graffiti faces the road). I must say they did a great job, within 48 hours of my call.

I hope your quick cleaning action has discouraged repeat tagging!

I've got the image of someone typing "famous black grafitti artist" into a Google search engine here

Yeah...coz Basquiat is so obscure you couldn't possibly have heard of him otherwise.

you really are a clever b~+*ard aren't you ?

[keekybreeks]

only comparatively

[uncleglen]

There is a world of difference between graffiti and 'tagging'. The latter being the mindless scrawls that certain individuals spread around much like cats spraying territory. The council used to have a removal service for it

[keekybreeks]

i would dispute that and would argue that in a world of sanitised bourgeois approved *street art* (urg) tagging and etching on windows is the only real work that has not been appriopriated by the chin stroking i dont know how she does it chattering classes. you will disagree obvs.

[uncleglen]

Half the time taggers don't even have the foresight and organisational skills to procure enough raw material and it peters out in a most unattractive manner.....imvho

Is it, and if it was would that be such a horrible thing? Does anyone own culture, so that it may be taken from them? When idiot savants like Rousseau or Mark E Smith wow the public and produce a myriad followers do we really think they're better than the occasional lucid words of a street drunk or are we just heaping meaning on them? Is the ineptly scrawled tag on a bus window really that vital? What happens when no artist learns a craft anymore, and it's all just concepts and lights switching off and on in a room? For answers to these and more, send an SAE to "Thanks EDF, I'm out" and see if I respond.

[keekybreeks]

SAE is so 2 hours ago bro' # is where its at. that and myspace.

[Jeremy]

Who can we contact to arrange some window etching street art along Lordship Lane? Who are the prominent artists of this exciting new genre?

[Seabag]

Canoeing along the canal today in Kent and what do I see

Boringly derivative stencil/graffiti/streetart on a wall

Go fuck yourself

I blame that DPG woman

[Overhere]

You can report graffiti online to Southwark Council and they will remove it if on public property or on your own property and facing the street. The service is quite good. Just go online and report it (can be done anonymously).

Just google Southwark Council and Graffiti.

Who was that tedious 'street artist' w4nker who'd put his endlessly tedious stuff on here, along with shots of himself picnicking at the roadside on the TDF

He had some kind of play on words with his daubing so, eventually spraying a blue nun on the Nun's Head. That 'work' alone has stopped me ever entering that place

I blame wasser name, the gallery woman
