Is this kind of chain link fence art common elsewhere? I've noticed quite a bit over the years here in Toronto, but I don't recall ever seeing it on sites like Wooster.
I saw this on Wooster years ago (click image to see next):

These are great! Chain-link fences are so ugly, I can't imagine anyone arguing "vandalism."
These are garbage! This chain-link fence belongs to the school, I can't imagine anyone being so disrespectful that they'd thoughtlessly damage it like this.
There - fixed it for you.
Also - answer sets a great example for the kids. What an asshole.
Another mindless tag.
It's a well maintained fence that has been vandalized, there's a good reason this is illegal.
It's not a tag, in fact.
It appears to be anser's signature which is dashed off in seconds - somewhat taglike?
Calling it a 'signature' is a bit of a stretch. Blek's 'signature' is rats, but that doesn't make him a tagger.
I think it's really lovely...it's hardly vulgar and reminiscent of the STILL LIFE art wall on the 401 westbound past the airport...sheesh...lighten up Svend...and no, it's not a tag...
What's wrong with having a dissenting opinion here?
I'll lighten up only if anser darkens down.
I think it should be mandatory for schools to spend a certain amount of time each week cleaning graffiti and litter in the community, so that children grow up learning the value of clean public space. This is key to creating a culture of cleanliness in the city which rejects graffiti and litter.
My mother made me clean my room as a kid. Now I'm a slob. And my bedroom is covered in litter and graffiti. Are you sure you want to go there.
Japan doesn't have a litter problem, so maybe the solution is we should force kids to be Shinto-Buddhists.
how is that 'destroying' or even 'damaging' the fence? I think that face looks incredible! Teaching kids about symbolism, helping them learn to look critically and creatively at the spce around them. :) Keep it up anser!
" a well maintained fence" HAHAHA svend
