Well said Iso, nothing like an untouched placeiso wrote: ↑02 May 2017, 2:20 pmI don't mind graffiti in drains (as long as it's not on redbrick/features/old tags) but graffiti in topsides is usually the death knell for most locations.
I'm one of those people that think that a location's got the most character when it's pristine. It still has most of the atmosphere of when it was operating.
As soon as the writers/copper scabs/trashers move in, a location soon turns into a homogenous mess of paint and tatters. All the unique aspects of a location are usually lost and one topside becomes pretty much the same as the next.
I've seen rather nice locations leaked to writers and the whole place goes from being intact to a wrecked shell in a matter of months. There are dozens of those wrecked shells already, I'm not sure why people find them so enticing (once you've seen one totally trashed building you've pretty much seen them all in my experience).
Depends on the advertising for me, but yeah leave the little milk man's billboards alone he's gotta feed his family goddamn it!Ritchie wrote: ↑04 May 2017, 6:36 pmI hate tagging, its for people scummy lads. Actual nice graffiti is good aslong as its not over someones advertising, signage etc, hate it when the little milk man whos trying to feed his family has someone climb the roof and cover his signage.
Graffiti on the side of train tracks actually gives you something to look at
Tagging is the bare bone of graffiti, nice looking graffiti is the glossy exterior. none of that would be possible without tagging, in my opinion you accept it as a whole or don't accept it at all.lostplaces wrote: ↑15 Jun 2017, 3:50 pmTotally agree here. Tags are very ugly and quite pointless but a good artwork strategically positioned in an abando looks great.
