When the vandals are paid by the City hall...

Crime scene 1 : Dooldedubz, originally uploaded by urbanhearts.

Some will say "it's the name of the game" : art thieves, angry people tearing the posters, and then the ultimate army of cleaners, masked, attacking the art like an enemy, pointing their water guns straight into the faces of the artists ! This is the real vandalism and should not be accepted as the rule of the game...artists spend their energy, passion into their work...the day I will find it "normal" to see people tearing, stealing or "cleaning" street art, is a day I do not wish to see...I feel deeply sadened by the stupidity of ignorants who destroy the essence of our dreams.

I realize that street art and vandalism are two very different things, but those people using the hoses are removing that art because apparently whomever owns the building did not give them permission to put it there. Whenever I see "art" that is pasted on a wall without permission I think what a waste, because it will come down. My neighborhood has been vandalized by so called artist many times and each time, it is removed because it is not their property. Why don't they put their "art" in their very pretty and clean neighborhoods? Or better yet what about putting it on their own family's houses?
