Since just about everyone carries some kind of digital camera around with them 24/7 these days thought it would be interesting to have a thread for folks to post pictures taken from two wheels.

I think there would be more stories about how much of a jerk you would be and that the police need to respond to "other" types of crimes.

I can see the headline now in "The Daily Mail"- "Officer Vernon Brainwashed by American Football Supporters Group" or "They made me do it."

:lol:

Does he pick on the widow next door or does he go for government type buildings?

I have never seen a story on this........

I hate "taggers". Ok its cool if you tag an old wall or if you get commissioned to do a nice mural, but to deface someone's private property is cowardly and if someone ever did it to something I own I would be the living piss out of them. In the SS you walk around and see people just spray paint their stupid name on the side of people's brick home and it infuriates me. You aren't an artist when you do shit like that, you are just a pure douche bag.

Agreed Pitt.

Tags in general = wrong. Awesome stencil work pretty much anywhere = awesome!

I'd be happy to wake up and find this on the driveway side of my house!

My sister's block on the South Side has major problems with taggers. It was so bad the police had an unmarked car planted in front of the taggers house and yes they knew who it was. I have to ask her what the latest problem is.

She even has to bolt her plants down.

He would certainly get nicked for that one... I like his work, but it portrays social decline and an unfair public perception of violence and crime in the area, buy a fucking wall and put it in a gallery then you don't create work for me and no one can have any complaints.

Looks like MFONE is going to the pokey for a while. I don't feel bad for him considering he has been arrested before and the amount of damages he caused.

Wasted talent on bullshit graffiti. Now he can tag the prison walls in exchange for cigarrettes. Or tag the back of your next license plate. Hah!

I'm assuming Hot Metal Bridge.

Seemed shorter than 2.5 miles.

I've always loved this sign at the Point.

Makes me wonder how long trout or goldfish could live in the fountain.
