Doug isn't naïve. He understands that graffiti does not cause bad neighborhoods; bad neighborhoods cause graffiti. Therefore targeting the graffiti artist will never solve the underlying causes of vandalism.



Plus, on a personal note, I see graffiti as beautiful. Beautiful like a dandelion growing and thriving in the middle of a cracked, abandoned parking lot.

The reason that you see see graffiti primarily in bad neighborhoods is that the residents aren't aggressive in responding to the graffiti (i.e., removing the graffiti ASAP). Allowing graffiti to remain visible is a sign of apathy and a signal that a neighborhood is going down.

How does somebody know that Ed Boxx was killed if it wasn't in the news or anything??

The flood walls are designated zones for graffiti. Perhaps owners of buildings that want artists to paint a mural/graffiti, I'm all for it. There are plenty of blank walls around the city that could be good spots.
Spray painting all over property that isn't yours isn't legal. Yes, sometimes it can be sort of cool, like Powell on chouteaus landing or that famous old factory in Detroit, but for the most part it's not an improvement to the city or various neighborhoods. Did Super ever tag his own house? I doubt it. Tagging....seriously how scummy do you have to be to think that's cool... :roll:

I'm sure Mr Coxs family did not appreciate having their business so prominently displayed on his chest in the mug shot. I know who will not be fixing my roof the next time I need repair.

Yes, I see Davey Cox, 33, is on Facebook and lists Duose Cto-Eso as one of his friends on Facebook. And the profile picture for Duose Cto-Eso is a graffiti picture of the word SUPER. Duose Cto-Eso, aka Super, has 3,266 friends, one of which is Davey Cox. And Duose Cto-Eso has Facebook posts back to 2003 featuring graffiti.

I see on his profile that he went to Mizzou from 2001 to 2008. It reminded me of this scene from Tommy Boy.

I'll be curious to learn what his defense will be, and how much he may be fined to restore all the walls he's defaced, if found guilty.

For a project called Tag Clouds, street artist Mathieu Tremblin paints over graffiti tags and makes them more legible.
