nick2 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 A while ago I was walking through the underpass near St Marys church (it goes from outside Staples to the church) and someone had "redecorated" the tunnels with large posters of sea creatures and changed the sign post to point to "Undersea world" and "Sheffield Sea Life Centre" etc. The posters were realy good, done in a 3-D "magic eye" kind of mosaic effect, and the whole effect was realy impressive. It's all gone now and the bare walls are back, I think the council have removed all the posters. Â I'm not sure who did this, but does it count as vandalism/graffiti when it improves the environment?

Â This is the sort of thing that the council should be doing to make the city a nicer and more welcoming place, not wasting money tearing it down. I've seen things like this in other big cities (although admitedly not in this country) and i think they really add character to a place, it just seems that other cities have more imagination.

pberry Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 What about the mural on the side of that large bulding on the corner of William Street and Broomhall Road? I believe it may soon be covered up by a new bulding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t020 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Originally posted by kilauea Try reading the thread patchy. Â The "proposal" I agreed to, put forward by t020 was that anyone could spray what they wanted on anyones house in a "free for all" <- his words not mine. Â I wouldn't like my house covered in graffiti though, and it certainly wasn't a proposal. If you support the idea of a graffiti "free for all" though then you should welcome your house being covered in graffiti, so thanks for your address via PM, I will go about it shortly.

Â OK retard - just for you here is what YOU said... Â "So you'd support a free for all where everyone and anyone can have their say and paint it anywhere they like without any regard for other people?" Â I think the key word in there is EVERYONE. Not just YOU. I didin't say I would LIKE my property painting on - just that I would welcome a free for all such as you described. Â However if you really feel you must paint my place then crack on and make it witty. I'll be waiting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't mind it, think it looks nice, so long as it's not in YOUR neighbourhood. Â I've known a few "talented taggers" and "artists" in my time, and as nice as they may have been, they weren't in it for any social or political reasons. They were bored and liked the infamy of it. Â It's a loppy habit for teenagers. No wonder they carry on if they have supposedly intellegent adults encouraging them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
