Graffiti Artists to Peter Vallone: F-U!

Looks like Peter Vallone is in danger of losing the graffiti vote! Makes sense, given the hard-on he's had for busting graffiti artists all year. [Spotted near the Manhattan Bridge, by UntitledName's Will. Thanks, buddy!]

It's def. news. Whether or not its reported or relayed is the question. But seriously, how is not news that a someone actually took the time and risk of life to tell Vallone what a dick he is. Since he really is a dick!

I'll tell you this: Vallone isn't the only one who wouldn't give a damn about the "graffiti vote." Graffiti "artists" are nothing but a highly vocal (or visible) minority. Most New Yorkers would cheer if every last bit of graffiti disappeared from the city tomorrow, no matter how often the "artists" claim they "enrich" city life.

I would like to go an tag up all the property of graffitti "artists" and see how they like their property destroyed.

"you never see graffitti idiots tag there own property"

Yeah, yeah you do. My living room has a huge piece on one wall that myself and a couple local writers painted one night. I get compliments on it by just about everyone who comes in. My basement is my lab, it's where I test new tags and work on my shit. Just because you don't like or respect the work and balls it takes to bomb a billboard, doesn't make it wrong.

Oh, and if you're going to call people idiots, be sure that you know how to spell the topic you're discussing, and knowing the proper time to use "there" and "their" helps. It would have made you seem at least a little less ignorant, and trust me man, you need every advantage you can get.

Cheers,

Amp
