I suppose they might have been concerned it might have encouraged more and over spilling into inappropriate areas. I think that may well happen as it always does.<br />I think someone was very creative using these Laneways in the city centre... they have brought in tourists who will then spend money in the shops, restaurants and bars. <br />I haven't seen the Banksy movie... must put it on my list.

My opinion about graffiti - it can be great art and there are great artists out there doing it (like you show us here), but then there are vandals = no art. I guess there is a fine or not so fine line between art and vandalism in this case.Claudia W | ImagesByCWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02474283479949846922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-12062833418284334772016-07-15T22:37:50.357+01:002016-07-15T22:37:50.357+01:00I say its art (unless of course they're arting...I say its art (unless of course they're arting up my property). I think the canvas makes for a fine photo, it has a funky texture I like.

Instead of working with the kids to create something beautiful in an appropriate designated place they squashed any idea of that! All spray paint is locked up at Micheals too! Have you seen the Banksy movie? It's just another form of artistic expression. I only have a problem with it when it destroys property. For the most part I think it enhances so many ugly parts of town!
