That is absolutely amazing. Of course someone is not going to like what you do but any skill you teach can be used for good or bad. I agree with battle that once you give the skill the rest is up to the individual. By the way- ET - call home.

you know the local karate dojo will never have a controversial article written about them and that's a much more controversial topic. I taught an art class, they're just trying to make a big deal over it. If I taught the exact same thing but called it mural design I couldn't pay the paper to show up.

Personally, nine times out of ten, I see nothing wrong with graffiti artists engaging in activities that would be considere illegal acts of "vandalism."

The Law is good, as far as it goes, but when it gets things wrong, I don't think we are obligated to follow it (it is worth noting that this view on the Law can be traced, in philosophy, all that way back to Plato; and in Christianity, all the way back to Moses, himself the giver of the Law).

The corporations are allowed to purchase public space in order to inundate us with their products and the ideology of consumerism, I see nothing wrong with those who can't afford to purchase public space, reclaiming that space.
