There are those who create, and those who destroy. Like my Dad use to say anyone can destroy, but it takes someone special to create!

Valparaiso is a city in Chile where they have murals decorating almost a big part of the place which is extended all the way to the slums and the paint are a beautiful piece of art painted by local and international artist and if they catch a tagger he or she will not live to tell. The people from the slums will make sure that it will not happen again. Those murals are protected by the city and moreover by the people. I just do not understand how ignorant someone can be by not recognized what is art and talent and just tagging. Look at it A2M, SORK and 10MK that's what I was able to read. These taggers will die in misery, mentally poor. Their actions defined who they are and how they going to end.

Or i hope they get a karma soon. ...... As an artist myself, yes. Its really hurt when people ruins your art or even destroyed or tagging like that. It took ages to making that art mural, tradisional art, digital art, etc. What we can do is, telling people dont do that, or fixing the art, or giving a watermark. Even, tho it not enough.
