I'll judge it however I want, like I'd judge any other piece of art. To me ugly scrawl is just that and tags are boring and uninspired and if that's the artist's intention to put piss people off or stoke his own ego, then he could at least have the common courtesy to draw on his own wall or buy his own billboard to put forward his negative crap. Sure Public advertisement is a blight, but at least they paid for the spot and went through proper bylaws to post it. Otherwise he's just intentionally stirring the pot, which is something I would expect from a 12 year old vandal.

Now I can understand if the intention was to put something beautiful, but and artist needs to be both innovative and understand the taste of audience and scrawl and tags which are the overwhelming norm in graffiti I see show neither.

Still waiting for the Randle Reef mess to get cleaned up, but hopefully not much longer!
