Overpainting  ... Great Graffiti ruined and the law of the Street Art Jungle 

Sometimes it is a just a good thing for change and then it's a wanton act of jealousy and mindless vandalism. Even established works by MISHA are just screwed by the "NOOBS"   ... by the NOOBS who have no real idea  ..   judge for yourself !

As some may know we document & record  Graffiti in Brighton  [ and elsewhere ] but yesterday its was shock to see good work ruined by noobs and then also some stupid taggers who  just vandalise good work .

If you belong to the old Heavy Artillery Crew and are local "street art names" like SNUB  AROE  MSK GARY   ... you might be safe but if you come and paint in Brighton .... [ its the same elsewhere ? ]...  you stand little chance sometimes of your work lasting more than a few weeks. The awesome" THATCHINATOR " lasted just two weeks in 2013...  

In  July I was watching and chatting with Nathan Evans just two weeks ago as he worked on a quick piece of work .. which has now been needlessly ruined by taggers and poor work ..

Sometimes [PHEW] you can see crews working thoughtfully and some of the good artists are alive to "cool" changes  but the idiot taggers needs help and guidance ... or shooting

Nice example here from TRAFALGAR LANE ....

Let's see how long this one stays [see below] and if the local " tag noobs"  repect good work
