It turned out beautifully. <br /><br />Like SB, I have mixed feelings on graffiti as well. <br /><br />One thing that comes to mind to defend it, though is how when you see it and it's not just mindless and random, even if it isn't all that excellent, what it triggers for me is how strong the need for public self-expression is.<br /><br />Cities and towns around the world make decisions about what will or will not constitute public art. Are they any better at it than a regular person? I may think that some graffiti is garbage but I may also not like the rusty sculpture in front of a public building. Worse yet, a canon or a missile like the photo the cunning runt posted the other day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296223961815248113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618685271512418876.post-18721694363728357652010-02-24T12:55:15.824-05:002010-02-24T12:55:15.824-05:00I love to see young people getting involved and I ...I love to see young people getting involved and I didn't read your blog in 2008, so it was all new to me Bobbie....<br /><br /> I am moving Thinking Green to my main blog so that I can just have one blog to take care....Michelle<br /><br /><a href="http://ramblingwoods.com/" rel="nofollow">Ramblingwoods Main Blog</a>Rambling Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080120317890707767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618685271512418876.post-21916851919283890842010-02-24T04:56:59.117-05:002010-02-24T04:56:59.117-05:00Very lovely stuff.

Some argue for particular spaces to be set aside for it but, for me, that seems to be too much an act of control by 'the powers that be'. Maybe we have to put up with the bad stuff to enjoy the good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618685271512418876.post-24619964179123355662010-02-23T21:31:33.170-05:002010-02-23T21:31:33.170-05:00such a beautiful mural. & definitely worth the...such a beautiful mural. & definitely worth the repost because it is such a great story.<br />I always appreciate your visits & comments about my posts Bobbie.
