I think this might be the same person who did this last time, it's very close to where I saw the last one. Which the city dealt with in a matter of days from when I saw it, so maybe this particular canvas of street art will also get cleaned/painted over.
(I'm not against street art - I'm rather fond of some of the prettier examples of it as an art form, and tagging is an interesting form of self expression - I just said that in that I'm curious how long it will take the city to do something about this tag, since the previous one I found on City property also caused it and nearby graffiti to be quickly cleaned when previously ignored, and graffiti on a trash receptacle is the ultimate "not worth cleaning".)

Lol sorry, are you anti graffiti? On the bear site? Its one of the most basic forms of resistance against the concept of private property there is! Street art is often the expression of the creative who lacks the tools, resources, and space to be creative. Its a form of radical reclamation in the face of the enclosure of public spaces. It is the art of the oppressed and marginalized. Hobos created entire forms of language expressed through graffiti to communicate to other travelers if places where hostile or safe, if they had food or would provide lodging.
It is proletarian through and through!
I'm not against street art, I think it's really cool. I'm mostly just wondering what will happen next and keeping my favourite bears updated on what the taggers do and what the city does in relation to these DPRK tags.

i dont think they're against it, look at the last post, they just posted because of the DPRK tag
Why is street art in quotes then? Seems to imply it's not art.
defacing public infrastructure isn't art. And all it takes to be creative is a pencil and paper. A lot easier to acquire and use than a spray pain can.
Lmao. You think taggers and graffiti artists don't do that already?
If taggers do that they apparently aren't sharing it with the world.
lol
