The Ethic of Graffiti Writing

"I love seeing graffiti and I love the scratch shit and I love the etch. What I don’t like is the fact that — being older and kind of understanding what it takes to run a business and have a window in front of your shop that costs thousands of dollars — and a 12 year old kid comes by and does an etch bath tag on it . . . It’s a little fucked up. I think there is some systems that can afford that — like Starbucks or Wal-Mart or a big business. But you go by a barbershop — some dude put 20 years of his life into buying that place — and a little kid, ignorant to what that took, comes and vandalizes it. I think it puts a bad thing out for graffiti."
