Graffiti on the Hermosa Strand

I was just reading the article in the Daily Breeze about the graffiti on the wall on the strand of Hermosa Beach. How dare they!! I believe those responsible are calling it Funsters. If it looks like duck, walks like a duck and swims like a duck it is a duck.

In other words by drawing on the walls in Hermosa, whether it be with calk or spray paint it is graffiti and the ones doing it should be accountable financially for it.

Last week, many city workers pressure-washed a chalk mural that began near 22nd Street and stretched a few blocks along The Strand. Supposedly, K.P. and several other Funism followers had planned to wash the drawings that they had done days before, but the city got there first.

So bill the “artists” for this and let them pay for the cleanup. The city, along with most residents and visitors consider it an eyesore. By allowing this and it continuing , you are inviting others to come in and add their graffetti. Let’s remember, that those who use spray paint and tag also consider their work “art”.
