    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.”

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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 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!
