It is a brute fact that graffiti is art. I think what you are reporting here is that you don't like it. But.....it is art. It is expression.

From my perspective, there is a great deal of graffiti that is ugly. Much of it fails to please the eye. But some of it is stunning.

Maybe it's both?

I know a few homies from my hood I can send up to your place if you'd like. Seeing as you appreciate their artistic sensibility and all...

A line of purple shows that manganese and titanium atoms are mixing across their boundary, a problem that needs to be fixed to make the material useful. (Credit: Robert Muller)

Good idea, Lets get them to put their art all over Superman's fences and house. Maybe on his car too. He obviously appreciates it more than we do.

Police investigate scene where East Jefferson Levee District officer's vehicle struck and killed a graffiti artist

A graffiti artist who was struck and killed by a police vehicle on Kenner's West Return Canal levee has been identified as a 16-year-old boy who was visiting his father on the West Bank.

Victor Montano from Houston had been in the New Orleans area for about two weeks, Kenner Police Chief Steve Caraway said Friday.

An East Jefferson Levee District police officer caught the boy spraying graffiti on the floodwall Thursday about 4 p.m. along the floodwall south of Vintage Drive.

"When he saw the police officer approaching, the male took off running," Kenner Police Chief Steve Caraway said Thursday.

The officer followed in his Levee District sport utility vehicle, and it appeared that the youth was going to jump a fence, Caraway said.

As the officer's vehicle followed, the youth tripped and fell in front of the truck, which hit him.

Now that's a shame.

Perhaps. One thing people need to understand about art and artists is that they are trying to elicit an emotion. They are trying to make you "feel" something. Anger is, at times, the goal. Some art makes us feel uneasy. Some soothes. The artist is trying to mess with you.

You are not listening. Still.

Nice. Police officer kills a sixteen year-old with a can of spray paint and perhaps you are glad this child is dead? Most of the time I respect and enjoy the ideological banter here but this is WAY WAY outside those boundaries. It would be a huge understatement to say I find this offensive.

True. Sometimes it is destructive. No quarrel there. I was responding to someone's factually incorrect definition of "art."
