Susan from Artcrimes emailed me this story. A new trend in New York is to vandalize, vandals. Once popular, successful graffiti artists are being attacked as tools of the system and subsequent vandals are “splashing” over their works that have become customarily accepted.
Also, you might have noticed that some of my old posts in the graffiti category have gone missing. They’re still on the net but not logged in the blog. I don’t know why and I don’t know how to fix it. So here are some favorite links on the subject:
