Is it art, or is it vandalism? Or both? The argument rages on both sides and seems to only get more heated as taggers have become more creative and talented. Has it always been this way? Did the Cro-Magnons tag the caves of Neanderthals? And where does expression cross the line?

Whole books and at least one blog that I know of have been devoted to the works of graffiti artists. Probably the most notable of these goes by the name "Banksy" and is a personal favorite of Writing in Faith's Sandy Carlson, who is easily the most knowledgeable person I personally know on the subject.

But to answer the initial question... that's a matter of perspective.

(And no, this is not -- as far as I know -- Banksy's work.)

For his final year (or so) of college my son took an apartment with two other music students a few blocks from campus, and not so very far from the building that features this mural of comic book characters. I'm unsure of its origin or history, don't know how many artists may have contributed to it, but given the theme -- or at least the fact that it has an overarching theme -- I'd guess that it was sanctioned by the building's owners and whatever authorities govern this sort of thing. My favorite element? The "Jawa" from Star Wars hiding in the wrecked "T" car. Apparently even intergalactic munchkins realize that you just don't drive in Boston.
