Adelaide Now has a "gallery" as a tribute to a talented mind? I'm sorry, but this was just another vandal who took pride in defacing public (and probably also did private) property and infrastructure?
I understand the murals that are designated for them, but this bridge was not one. So why the need to glorify a juvenile criminal just because he "died doing what he loved"?

I've got to admit I agree ... yes a tragic event but he was commiting a crime at the time, one that pisses a lot of people off and costs a bit of coin to fix up.
His mates are bigger idiots than him to go back and tag the death site.

Sadly that's what the media does. They love nothing more than putting the worst up on pedestals...alcoholics, druggies, domestic abusers, racists, vandals. That's what's offered to kids as role models now and it kinda makes me glad I'll never have any.

And of course, the Facebook tribute where like minded individuals pay their respects to "one of them"
Yeah JAS, you can say that again. Agree with you for sure.

If we all spoke our mind, this thread would be shut down.
A waste of paint.

Tagging reminds me of a dog cocking it's leg or a tom cat spraying to mark their territory, either way it stinks!!

Show some compassion. graffiti is a form of self expfession as other kinds of mainstream art are.

Sorry can't agree. If it's art then they can put it on their own houses or buy/rent a wall to put it on otherwise it's nothing more than vandalism and defacing of other peoples property.

Years of reading obituaries and hearing eulogies has led me to one solid conclusion: death brings out the best in people.

There's graffiti and then there's street art. Personally I love stencil art.
In a city landscape perverted by corporate advertising, street art is on one side of the rope in the perpetual tug-o-war.
