Tiger Woods Says "Embarrassing" Accident Was His Fault
Looks like Ellis Gallagher, aka Ellis G, has made a giant leap from the fairly safe medium of chalk art, to the highly dangerous looking medium of fire art! Nylon Mag received a photo of the flammable tagging in progress, and their tipster noted that it's "a new obsession" of the artist's. Allegedly "the idea is to paint a tag and light it quickly before it dries," and we'd imagine a goal is to not set oneself or one's surroundings on fire. And people, let's keep a close eye on Natalie Shea, this chalk art thing could be a gateway to arson.

idiot.
And this will only get worse because people like Jake and his proxy, Jen Carlson, glorify this kind of garbage.
Ha, this is another one of those April Fools posts. I'm getting better at spotting them!
Something tells me this is not the first time he's set things on fire. Poster-size things. Poster-size things that he has yet to pick up from my house. Are you still in Cali, dude? Swing through when you get into town. One. Congrats on the new show.
Vandals and the Morons who support them.
I sincerely hope this guy accidently sets himself on fire and suffers server burns. It would serve him right.

OK, I just came up with the awesomest idea for a new tagging technique, and I'm just gonna put it up here in the public domain - bodily fluids. Experiment with the most extreme thing you can pass through your system - cranberry juice, food coloring, commercial dye, drink a bunch of it, and then whip it out and pee your tag. You'll be the king of avant-garde graf.
The bums already have this covered. In fact, there was an installation on my train this morning.
I'm just glad that bums don't have easy access to asparagus.

This is an artist that has been doing a really compelling and beautiful series of drawings made with smoke on paper.
These people are amatuers. And, that's being kind. Gothamist wastes too much time publishing drivel about graffiti "art", when all the while, they are couched in the world's art hub.
or Cai Guo-Qiang who uses gunpowder to make art since the late 80s
The Father's Day fire in 2001 which killed three firemen was started by graffiti artists who were burning their tags onto a wall. The fuel spilled and ran into the hardware store basement where it was ignited by the heating system.
all grafitti vandals should rot in jail
minimum 5 year sentence
and gothamist should stop pimping and promoting this garbage.
if this stuff is so cool, they should tag their homes.
Maybe their blowtorches will ignite the cans of paint in their backpacks and we can then be treated to the 'most extreme tagging': "self-immolation wall shadowing".
