graffiti

An iconic scene from the movie "Nacho Libre" appears on a wall in downtown Amarillo.

At least we have several gifted artists in town who put actual thought, planning, and talent into their art.

Our city parks are places where kids get to run and play. They are a place to take a walk and a place of innocence. However, it seems that is less and less as the world changes.

I haven’t been inside every restroom in Amarillo, but of the many I have been in, these two really stand out. They are not only clean, but incredibly unique.

Graffiti artist Konfused is suing Chris Brown for stealing his tag and profiting off it.

Graffiti artist SmugOne does things with cans of paint that we don't normally see on the sides of buildings.

Last night, I went out to my alley and noticed that somebody had left their mark on my neighbor's fence.  It was black spray paint and the message was difficult to make out.  My first thought was, 'how could someone destroy property of someone they don't know.'  But not all graffiti is ugly.  Do you think graffiti is art or vandalism?

So you might have read my recent story about the Amarillo Graffiti Ordinance that is about to be passed.  Well, the 2nd vote took place yesterday and, hold your breath, it's been passed!  I'm here with all the details to help you out and save you from being billed by the city of Amarillo so read on!

Are you distracted while driving by graffiti?  If so, you need to stop driving, because you have no business behind the wheel.  While I do consider graffiti in random places to be property damage, I don't think our Amarillo commissioners should be focusing so much of their time, energy and resources on this Graffiti Ordinance that is being pushed.

There are two sides to every story, especially when it comes to the story of graffiti.  Some say its art and other an eye sore.  Well Amarillo could be passing an ordinance to get rid of all graffiti, art or not.
