Daze campaign slated by Glasgow City Council

Posted on 02 May 6:23 PM
Article in today's Evening Times about a flyposting campaign to get Daze's 28 month sentence reduced. As they usually do when writing about graffiti, they've got reactionary quotes from Councillor James Coleman. They've also used one of my photos without permission or letting me know in advance. I'll be invoicing them of course!

Daze jailed for 28 months

Daze graffiti

Graffiti writer Daze ER was jailed on Wednesday for 28 months at Ayr Sheriff Court for eight offences that supposedly caused £270,000 worth of damage.

The papers are reporting this as the longest sentence for vandalism in Scotland. However, the same Sheriff gave a 33 month sentence to someone for spraying anti-Semitic graffiti on the war memorial in Troon, just last December.

Sheriff Colin B. Miller (61), who's hobbies include "railways", was previously in the news last year for giving someone a 3 year suspended sentence and putting him on the sex offenders register for masturbating with his bike.

Graffiti news

Posted on 17 Mar 9:51 PM
Some more positive graffiti news articles than normal recently:

"Spraying Power" in the Sunday Herald talking about scottish graffiti. The author, Vicky Allan, was trawling around on the forums here looking for information a while ago. She refers to my site without actually naming it.
"Graffiti artists show off their style" in Birmingham.
"Rewritten graffiti law too heavy-handed"; a (Canadian) newspaper making the entirely reasonable point that the punishment for graffiti is much worse than say, drink driving.

Featured Book:

Some call it tagging, some call it writing, still others call it bombing--it's all graffiti. Whether it's art or not is another matter, but it's undeniably illegal. Tony Silver and Henry Chalfant's historic PBS documentary Style Wars tracks the rise and fall of subway graffiti in New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At the peak of its popularity, graffiti was as much a part of B-boy culture as rapping, scratching, and breaking. The filmmakers present a sympathetic, but well-rounded portrait of their subject through extensive interviews with taggers--notably Seen, Kase, and Dondi--art collectors, transit authorities, and even Mayor Ed Koch, who would eventually put the hammer down. Along the way, they documented the burgeoning breakdance scene, with a focus on the world-famous Rock Steady Crew. The soundtrack features selections from Grandmaster Flash, the Treacherous Three, and other tagger-approved icons of old-school hip-hop
