Default Art critics

Serious bidness.

Being told you can't have art on YOUR OWN PROPERTY in America.

What? You complied with the complaint by removing the "offending word"? [sic]

We'll just charge you with something else! Who the fuck do you think you are; a free citizen, living in a free country?

Ha!

Everyone's a fucking art critic...

Wait, what?

Black, who lives on a fixed income, used a donation from her church to pay the $360 fine and had a half-dozen young artists repaint parts of the mural, eliminating the offensive word — "like."
And from what I can see, that sure looks like public property to me.

commissioned the artwork to brighten an alley next to her home.
Doesn't seem like it was her property. Need more facts

Yep, her property.

If I were her, I'd get the kids to paint my fucking house. That'll teach the fucking cunts.

Let them try to find an ordinance to fuck her with then...(they will, but by then, public opinion will have taken away all their jobs).

Law means shit anymore. Battles are won in the press.

I have nothing to add other than my step mom recently took up painting (in the last year.) She sold 2 pieces a few weeks ago for $200 a piece! How cool is that???

Don't get me wrong, I think it looks like fucking shit, and like fucking graffiti. If I lived across from it, I'd fucking hate it. I'd also know that it's someone else's fucking shit, and it's none of my fucking business.

Default Wrong, douchenozzle.

I'm guessing that in an alley, large expanses of fence tend to get covered in graffiti, and she was just trying to make things look a bit nicer.

It's a common strategy. Hire the little spraycan wielding fucks that would otherwise randomly tag the fucking shit outta yer fence, and have them do a complete art mural.

At least then they tend to "respect" it, and don't make it fucking worse.

Her tastes? I don't recall reading that she painted it...

Try to think a little harder, and I think you'll realize it's just a woman's attempt at making things look a bit better. Do you REALLY think that the blank painted-over fence is gonna stay that way...in an alley in LA?

You're funny!
