    Graffiti is a spectrum: on one hand, you get beautiful murals that add something to the structure, making it more than what it was.

    On the other hand, you get dicks and swastikas.

    Tattoos are the same way. There’s a difference between someone having a beautiful sleeve done and someone who has TRUMP tattooed on their forehead.

      An example to further your point: I have an album of these I took earlier this year. It was exciting to stumble across.

        When I click the image, it flips over the X-axis. That’s weird as hell.

                    Ah, New Glenn is the Rocket built by Blue Origin. They were supposed to hit certain milestones before the end of 2024 to ensure they got contracts/funding I believe. I believe it is currently rolling back and forth on a launch pad near Cape Carnival / Kennedy Space Station.
                    It was trying to perform hot fire tests I believe, but they held due to ice the other day I think

      I was stuck at some train tracks in my area, and some of the graffiti on the trains left a gap around the safety information about weight limits and such.

      Not all of them did. Those that didn’t had to be painted over and re-written, but only the safety section. They left the rest alone.

      There was some mutual acceptance happening on both sides of the effort that warmed my heart.

        As a graffiti enthusiast, I can say that is definitely part of “the rules”. Graffiti has a code of conduct, depite it appearing like anarchy. Many new writers are ignorant of it. Don’t tag:

        • Personal property
        • Places of religion
        • Memorials
        • Shipping or cargo data (like those train cars)
        • Places that are kept clean/painted (it’s going to get covered frequently)
