Nicked his whole thing from Blek le Rat

I'll do it this afternoon
Yep there's the total Blek rip off, the 6th form politics "war is bad!" bollocks.... I heard he gives a lot of money to charity which is really good, but he's still a cunt. To be honest, I used to like some of his funnier stuff in the beginning but...nah, he's a cunt!
That's true I reckon. I've been told that if a train company allows a train to run with graffiti on it they get a fine from the transport authority. And the cost of that fine is included in the cost of the "damage". Dunno if it's true, but it's what I've heard.

WRT to wanksy, that's all that needs to be said.
- were was a TV doc about him going away first time

How long does that naked bloke spend in prison ?
I just checked - 53 years old, six years spent inside.

Damien Hirst pays others to do his 'art' though. So he would be an accessory to the crime or charged with planning it.
I don't know why people bother spray painting trains. The stuff used to remove it from tube trains is extremely efficient and strips the carriage down to metal. They then apply a vinyl covering (so not a lengthy paint job) that can be ripped off and replaced rapidly should it get tagged again. Seems an awful lot of work and risk for something nobody apart from cleaners is going to get to see.

Not all train carriages are treated that way, though. I see quite a few cargo trains carrying gravel or something like that and it's not uncommon to see them with graffiti on.

Most graffiti is shit. Ugly, moronic drivle vomited by ego-centric kids with their heads up their arses, shit that covers ugly urban architecture bereft of creativity, humanity or art. It contributes nothing to art and everything to alienation. The world has seen more aesthetic times. Fucking shoot the cunts.

Here it is, isn't it cool, isn't it hip, yeah, wow. Passengers are loving that cool view out the window, (Lol, they can't see the rest of this animal's work all along the whole fucking route). We live in the fucking age of aquarius, we do. Everything is just so way out. Stick that train in the fuckin Louvre, right now. Charge 20 quid to see it. Please graffiti artist, COME AND DO this to my street. I want to see this every day!

Then why don't you decorate your house like that, hip one. Here's another cute design for you.

You gotta be really square, as in 4 simetric sides, not to love this amazing work of hipster art. Phew, I nearly came in my pants thinking of the artistic transcendence of this master work.

Because I don't have the skills or materials, can't be arsed to learn/acquire them and don't know anyone with same who's willing to do it for free or at a low cost (like a couple of joints and a meal).
If the presence of graffiti in public trololols people like you then it's at worst a minor inconvenience that's well worth it in my book.

You obviously don't live near any of it. Graffiti is like noise pollution, only it assaults you visually. Look at the picture above. Your type of hood?
My favorite graffiti, is of course, the stuff they do to enhance natural landscapes, which after all would be so uncool if left alone.

I do, actually.
What nonsense, sounds like you've had quite a sheltered upbringing. Do large, unfamiliar animals scare you? They can actually hurt you, you know. As can noise pollution if it interferes with sleep.
Not really, but for reasons that have nothing to do with graffiti.
That's actually the first time I've seen it outside of an urban environment, so it gets points for sheer novelty value.

You see loads of Bloodaxe pieces around the railway line into Sheffield from Leeds. They're pretty shit, not that quality should have any bearing in how the law operates.
Tagging is just the same as animals pissing to mark the boundaries of their territories. It's pretty ugly but not as bad as that glass scratching shit that spoils the view out of bus windows. I'd be on firmer ground making such criticism if I hadn't (like many of my peers) left my squiggle on the back of road signs all over the place when hitching in the 90s. It was kind of nice seeing the mark left by friends too and knowing that they'd once spent three hours stuck at that same Bromsgrove junction, I kind of get the motivation.

Love the idea that graffers should do community service cleaning graffiti. What will he do that night, knowing there's a shiny, clean wall out there..?

18 months is too much, cleaning what he's sprayed would be fairer. There is a place for graffiti, I mean good graffiti, and it's not anywhere and everywhere you bloody like. At the end of the day, it's an imposition forced on everyone by self indulgent sociopaths. Bit like most modern architects, really.

Hardly getting over it.
But who gives a shit about freight? It's all about not upsetting passenger sensibilities, or managing 'ambience' in network lingo. Freight has no such image to uphold.
So yeah, they'd be better off doing those. But passenger ones are still done with regularity.

I remember watching a grafitti docu from the 80s where some New York kids said the biggest buzz was watching a train with your burn on it pulling into service. I guess there isn't the same kick with photies in the blogosphere. Might as well be a gallery.

I wasn't aware that graffiti was done purely or primarily to disrupt the brand image of passenger rail companies. I thought the potential audience was more a more salient consideration, and freight carriages do get around a fair bit.
Yes, sorry, I started that post having misunderstanding what you were saying, but rather than delete/correct I just bolted a new paragraph on the bottom acknowledging your point.
The original point I made is specific to tube trains. (I love graffiti btw).

Freight often goes at night, so not many people will see it, other than those bombing other trains 
The UK train companies take trains out of service if the windows get covered up, which is fine, less it affects ME, in which case the scumbags what done it should be shot.

You do get to see some through the day especially at stations and crossings further out in the sticks.
