#OCCUPY Update: DONT OCCUPY WALLS POSTER

A warning to Graffiti writers from the ANONYMOUS / Occupy Wall Street Movement / International Occupation Movements / Revolutionaries World Wide:


We will assume you are Rigth-Wing Tea Party haters, Anti-Labor operatives, Corporate Banking Thugs, or City Police disguised as Anarchists.


You will be dealt with if we have to turn you over to the Police ourselves.


We will not permit vandalism of city property during demonstrations or areas surrounding Occupation Camp Sites.


We will not allow our movement to be disenfrachised for your props.


We have invested our lives for the poor and disenfracnised everywhere who are counting on us.


Dont be jerks. Respect is a two-way road.

You are welcome to Join Us and paint signs with us.

What happens when you want Graffiti on your property

We agree with the Property Owners. It is their choice to allow it if they choose. Every city should have a designated place for street art of all kinds. When someone can take their time with it you get much better looking art every time.

After someone complained about the loud scribbles on Russell Johanson's property, the city told him in July he had to clean it up. Johanson ignored the warning. A graffiti patroller visited his building, on a small, weed-choked lot, three more times and found the tags still there.


The city sent more notices. It offered Johanson paint and volunteers to help him to clean things up. It threatened him with hefty fines.


All to no avail. In a decision published Friday, a hearing examiner declared Johanson's building a "graffiti nuisance property" and fined him $2,000. That represented $100 a day, from the time he got the civil-violation notice to the day of the hearing.

This week, Johanson, who runs his Ravenna Rare Books from the property, was still defiant.


"I would like to expose the absurdity of the code," he said. "It's not anybody's business but mine."


"This comes perilously close to the government saying, 'We get to tell you what color to paint your house. We tell you how to dress, what to do.'"


Seattle's graffiti ordinance requires property owners to paint out graffiti if someone has complained about it. But owners can escape the requirement if they say the graffiti is "authorized" on their building.


That loophole has led to arguably Seattle's most famous graffiti wall, the old Tubs building, a few blocks from Johanson. Once a hot tub business, the abandoned structure, at prominent corner of 50th and Roosevelt, is coated with layers of garish spraypaint.


But despite years of neighborhood complaints, the city is powerless to clean it up, because the owner says he likes the graffiti there. He called it an "evolving piece" of art. It has since become a well-known "freewall."

END LA. MURAL MORATORIUM PETITION

Uploaded by saberonecom on Sep 21, 2011

Los Angeles municipal code defines murals as signs and the permitting process constitutes an effective ban on this art. Art in the public space is necessary for a healthy visual environment, a counter balance to gray walls and endless advertising. Los Angeles was once the 'Mural Capital of the World' and this city should claim that title again!


Murals are not signs and art is not a crime!


Tell Mayor Villagaigosa and the L.A. City Attorney's office to end the mural moratorium now.

Sign the petition on change.org and #EndMuralMoratorium

PARK(ing) Project: Retaking the Streets for the People

Park(ing)
Valuable urban real estate, reprogrammed.


One of the more critical issues facing outdoor urban human habitat is the dearth of space for humans to rest, relax, or just do nothing. For example, more than 70% of San Francisco’s downtown outdoor space is dedicated to the private vehicle, while only a fraction of that space is allocated to the public realm.


Paying the meter of a parking space enables one to rent precious downtown real estate. What is the range of possible occupancy activities for this short-term lease? PARK(ing) is an investigation into reprogramming a typical unit of private vehicular space by leasing a metered parking spot for public recreational activity.
