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.
