A reader explains:
Long-time local artist/muralist icon MATS!? (Mats Stromberg) attempted to repair his Clarion Alley mural yesterday. Later that same evening, this happened: http://j.mp/1mevTwl. (Why yes, that does say “Fuck your gay art”— a testament to the maturity of the tagger.)
As someone commented on Facebook: “I find it Ironic that this guy is targeted Mats Stromberg of all people…. His comics and art are all about the living at the bottom of the barrel…. and in clarion alley no less…” Indeed.
Sad shit. Mats!? rules!

This is why we can’t have nice things.
Another banal cliche.
Another banal cliche.
A vicious cycle begets itself yet again.
Artists should do what Jet Martínez does, clear coat.
Technically, the tagger is urging us to “fuck gay your art,” which sounds moderately more appealing.
Fuck technically!
Blake was such a nice boy
both are legit expressions.. both art..
i like the tag..
Not even close…tagging died in the late 80′s in NYC.
Tags by upwardly mobile white kids are lame. Yeah you BKF.
No, any artist with half an ounce of respect for their work doesn’t write some grade school nonsense over others’ work. This is a child’s work, either literally or mentally, there’s no art in defacing someone else’s art.
yeah, for 12-year-olds
Tagging is not the same as a mural, or even graffiti. It is vandalism, typically by someone with inferiority issues.

Yup. Basically just the equivalent of dogs pissing on every lamppost.
Just like your incessant mindless comments here, and on every other lame blog that hasn’t banned you.
Maybe he meant ‘gay’ as in happy and the tagger is asking for sad murals.
Fucking scumbag taggers. MrEric is right. This is why we can’t have nice things.
someone needs to pop that nigga in the gut with a .22
Clearly, this is the fault of people in the technology industry as we should stop shuttle busses to address this issue.
the victim complex in you is strong
Dude, he’s obviously joking
Dude, troll obviously knew it was a (weak) joke and he made a better one, making fun of Flanders.
Most of the douchbaggery in this city seems to be done by the Bridge and Tunnel crowd.
The world is yours, the world is ours. This is but a wall.
