This reminds me: I miss BORF. When he was arrested a few weeks ago I couldn't believe the level of invective I saw about him. People were so glad he was arrested and so happy to think he would be going to jail. Call me whatever you like, but I enjoyed seeing his stuff around town. It was certainly of a higher quality than something like this (above), and while he didn't seem to have a highly coherent politics (at least not according to this “profile”), his stuff was generally on a different level than a lot of the random graffiti you commonly see. I know I wouldn't be too thrilled to see messages and stencils spray-painted on my car or something, but the only places I saw his stuff were on trash cans, electrical service boxes, sidewalks, and the backs of public street signs. Those items can all use some livening up if you ask me. It was public art with a message (albeit a confused one). What's wrong with that?
