Artist puts his yolk on city.I've heard about these eggs in Charleston. Someone went as far as to paint bacon with one. Oh-No is painting eggs. Everyone eats eggs... not too big... its brilliant. A good interview with the Artist in this.
The Herald Dispatch has an Editorial about punishing Graffiti offenders which boils down to this.
"In theft cases, that threshold is $1,000, meaning that if the value of the stolen property is $1,000 or more, the offense is a felony with more harsh penalties. It's not clear why the threshold for a felony destruction of property conviction is $2,500, when the loss to the property owner is just as real. That discrepancy should be fixed by lowering the threshold for a felony charge when people deface or destroy property"
They also published eleven photos of graffiti downtown. The 4th and 9th photos are my favorite. They both feature visitor or one of the other wheatpasters. squid, zombie, deadface. also make some appearances.
A lot of this backlash recently is because the influx of people to Huntington in the fall. Two artists were caught in September behind city hall. bad timing? or a heavier police influence?
As promised here is some graffiti. which is from neither Charleston or Huntington but Morgantown.
