Your Graffiti Is Too Cool For Me
Dear Neighborhood Graffiti Artists,
Lately you've been making me feel confused and uncool.
Yesterday I concluded that this is a depiction of modern motherhood: motor oil, baby vomit, and chairs on wheels.
Today I decided it's a depiction of our modern environment: toxic blue-green water, steel, and comfy chairs on wheels.
I have a sneaking suspicion I'm wrong on both fronts, and this has left me feeling like I'm no longer cool and avant garde enough for my super hipster Los Angeles neighborhood.
I am also losing cool points with my kids since I'm unable to answer, "Mommy, what's that on the wall over there?"
Since my self-esteem is really taking a beating due to yourvandalism artistic expression, how about you keep the graffiti to stuff I recognize, like tricked out Frankensteins and Yodas? Even the random words you used to draw in puffy letters, like "Bonk" and "Face" are cool with me. At least I can read those.
Your girl,
Los Angelista

I hear you. Some of it is really ugly. I tend to like graffiti that's more along the lines of wall murals. And in some ways it's better than the crap random taggers leave on the walls.
Yes! I think I can see the kidney!
