It appears we have a graffiti artist on the loose in Pleasant Hill CA. I found this on my walk way a couple of days ago. I have a hunch that I know who the culprit might be. Do you think I should report him to the police? I do see some graffiti out here when I go cycling. But it's nothing like Oakland or Richmond. Do you have graffiti where you live?

@TheHorse The graffiti made me happy. So it should not be "cleaned".

Yes, I suspect that the "tagger" is not in a "gang" or "posse" yet.

I'd be ticked off too. Were you able to paint over it?

@scarlet_woman I'd shoot him in the ankle. Or take a picture of him.

If we could get more graffiti like that out here, oh gosh this would be a happier place. This is Los Angeles, so you know we've got some super duper graffiti that should be reported. What's sad is some of these taggers disrespect existing artwork by doing silly graffiti on them. No respect here, I tell ya!

@TheHorse "jive monkey graffiti" Oh yah, that happens a lot. Over famous artist murals too (along the freeway and elsewhere). Luckily they put some kind of clear coating over certain murals - so if it gets graffiti'd, they can come in and power wash it somehow without affecting the mural. But yah, it shouldn't happen to begin with.

You mean they put jive monkey graffiti on good art? That should not happen.

@TheHorse This is a small town so I don`t expect any.

Is that paint or chalk? We have some graffiti chalk artists in our apartment complex and I'm all for them enjoying being outside and drawing stuff but it's the ones with the paint I'm not to fond of.

This was done with paint. I suspect it was kid paint from Home Depot, so it should wash away with the next rain. We shall see.

@Bensen32 I kind of like seeing a smiley face on my way to my truck. I don't see it as a veiled threat. But you never know in CA.

I do not see much on buildings and sidewalks and such. Many freight cars that pass through have it though.

I wouldn’t turn him in. This is just harmless fun, especially if it washes off soon.

We shall see. I'm thinking of "turning him over my knees." Did you hear that expression when you were a child?

@TheHorse I think it is cute what they did. I have seen chalk marks where kids play hopscotch. This is cute. I would not report them. That is just me. You have to do what you think is best. Has he done other things that you think are not right and do not belong on the sidewalk or walkways.
