I don't think it's even mostly used that way, unless territory staking is malicious. Sure, the owners of the property don't like it, but I don't like it when my cat sprays the furniture, either, but he's not being malicious. Not to compare graffiti to cat spray, which I just did. All of which is to say that graffiti is not ALWAYS intended as vandalism.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-85254915515447608852018-03-28T18:16:25.649-07:002018-03-28T18:16:25.649-07:00TAS: I think those trees think they look snazzy.TAS: I think those trees think they look snazzy.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-1927225715463454672018-03-28T16:08:59.343-07:002018-03-28T16:08:59.343-07:00They're obviously California trees who complai...They're obviously California trees who complained about how cold the fifty degree weather was.J E Oneilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780097298061829471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-32733362562570380082018-03-28T11:21:29.072-07:002018-03-28T11:21:29.072-07:00It's odd to hear you compare yarn bombing and ...It's odd to hear you compare yarn bombing and graffiti. Graffiti is used maliciously as a warning to others who understand it to stay out of a particular territory. The intent behind it has nothing to do with thought toward environment or art. It's to send a message that is loud and clear and essentially permanent. Yard-bombing is not malicious at all, which is exactly WHY it neither harms the environment or is difficult to remove. I can imagine someone explaining this to a person who does actual graffiti and they would respond, "Wait...but I need it to harm the environment and be difficult to remove. That's the whole point!"Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-80653836229453666772018-03-28T11:18:36.232-07:002018-03-28T11:18:36.232-07:00We have some areas around here that have been yard...We have some areas around here that have been yard-bombed.
