Hi Michael,

Very good of you to get this, with the strewn cans especially. I totally agree with Murray and yourself...its a pretty pathetic way to communicate to society I feel. There are many ways for people who have the creative ability to be recognised, so there is really no need for this. What I especially hate is "tagging"....they might as well sign it "idiot".

Saying this, many years ago, there was a huge regeneration project in my home town. The local council held a competition for people to come and make their statement I suppose. You see, the area was cordoned off and they had wooden panels up for them to do this. They had some excellent "art" which served as a really interesting view along a popular long road near the university. Unfortunately, I was only a nipper at the time, but I remember thinking how good it was. Anyhow, I feel there is a place for this "art" and it has no place if it is offensive. Then, one can argue that pictures of half-naked women splattered across billboards in the name of advertising could be offensive?!?

Just a few humble thoughts!
