" makes me cringe. Why can't the NY1 author of the piece just take it hed on and say "jeez someone really wanted to epress themselves!" and then talk about how someone took initiative to convey or communicate. I guess they're just as dumb as Vallone, taking the opportunity to slam public expression and jump to the angle of criminalization. No discussion on public space, no dialogue about bogus restrictions on instruments of graffiti. Just the typical, "whoa, pissed off designer" and "hey isn't that illegal" debate. Wow I just realized they were talking about all of the things I wanted, only with the spectrum as big as a needlehead. Props to whomever took the time to make this. The biggest point that NO ONE should miss, is that YOU can do this to. Use your head the next time your sitting in front of your computer staring at VR, or craigslist, or whatever you do, and make something! Anything that starts out with
