Feedback

IMG_4070.JPG

This piece at BC Silver School has been labelled "Toy" by a critic. One definition of "Toy" would be "An inexperienced or incompetent writer. Someone whose writing is either wack, who uses sucker tips, or whose style is just plain cheesy".

Presumably this is the message that has been left in paint for the writer.

Boing-boing recently offered up a less destructive way to give feedback. Originating in San Francisco, the creator wanted to give feedback to local taggers

According to the creator, Brandon Thomas Baunach - "It’s a project I started a couple of months ago after seeing my neighborhood (The Mission District of San Francisco) receive an amazing amount of ugly, large, and talentless graffiti. I wanted a way to combat the ugly graffiti while at the same time give praise to the talented graffiti writers who I feel make the streets more beautiful. It occurred to me, that many of our local taggers don’t realize how ugly and talentless their graffiti is, so I wanted to give them some feedback."
