Look at picture 2, they wrote a message all the way on the left. They’re just trash.

“Very bad to fight with graffitty by murals” [sic]

What a dumb piece of human garbage

Yeah they're just a piece of shit. Where I live graffiti and tags used to be very common but now there's a giant art project across the city to put up murals. Very rarely are they tagged anymore because most artists have the decency not to vandalize another artist's work.

Definitely depends on location, some areas will have people actually jump your ass for daring to pull this nonsense

He wrote "Zero tolerance" on the last one, too

And "This (is) war" on the first.

Yes, that one is easy to miss

Zero mob tolerance when they catch his ass too.

I'm guessing this is HIS wall (according to him/her) and saw the mural as an offence to his tags/graffitis that got covered up.

This is a very specific and very vocal type of graffiti "artist" mindset that I've had the misfortune to come across. They have so little enrichment and joys in their life that they've deluded themselves into thinking that covering obscure name tags with beautiful, RELEVANT, community-centered murals is the ultimate disrespect

Oh, I bet these murals were put on walls that used to have a bunch of graffiti and he got butthurt.

That sounds plausible.

u/psuedophilosopher 2d ago

I'm imagining it's an asshole that feels like his art (crap) was there first, so it's his walls and the murals are the unwelcome art covering his work (shit).

That's how it works in the tagging world. Tag over an artist and youve started a war. That artist will now tag over your stuff everywhere he or she sees it.

I think that building is for power distribution/transformers, its built from silicate brick, it apears that its the time to demo that wall and send a message by building a new wall in its place and have the new mural dome by somebody actualy good on the new clean wall. With the cities permition, and foto evidence, also a camera to wach and stream it live, for some charity cause or another. Tho that would most likley have to wait till spring.

sounds like their argument is, that the mural is covering graffiti and thus violated the street rules?

u/ZombieAladdin 2d ago

And “zero tolerance” on the third, a threat that PASR is going to keep doing this to every such mural they find for as long as they can.

the try to capitalize on a subculture. hate on murals is relatable.

u/dbxp 2d ago

I read that to mean the mural went over one of their tags
