mark & countermark, or peeing on the other guy's pee

In the post previous to this below, I featured some North Bank Park images I liked and this week I present the follow-up markings of another person expressing a rude disapproval of these images and demonstrating the intensity of passion involved in these exchanges.

This one is more of a local tag than an image, but "TOY GO HOME" is written over the name, perhaps making a play on 'goest'.




The spiral-eyed blue-man is an image I like but the magic-marker critic disagrees...

...isn't hate a bit of a strong response?

And for those who doubt the importance of punctuation and of the trivial mark, behold the dismissive power of quotation marks around "ART" for which we even have imitative hand gestures for use when we wish to dismiss something while speaking.

the text above cryptically reads:

Have the graffiti wars in Richmond gotten that bad???
