A friend of mine is a grafitti artist, in the artistic sense. He has been
painting, with and without permission, in the UK, Australia and a few
others along the same lines, with good success. If people see a blank
wall (read: canvas) they tend to do what they want with it. Once a piece
of work has gone up (in the case of my friend) people tend to leave it
alone.

So, has anyone seen Basquiat? It happens to be playing tonight at the
local rep theatre...
