I had to laugh when I saw the Slant piece on the defacing of street artist Suspish’s art on the side of the (Eugene Weekly building, 8/11). Could you not see the irony and political statement?
When somebody paints something that is desired, somewhere appropriate, then it is art done by an artist. When somebody forces their graffiti that is not requested, and where it is not appreciated, then it is vandalism done by a criminal. Isn’t that obvious?
It only makes folks who want the paint happy. You glamorized vandalism, and this was a huckleberry result. Grammar is irrelevant to art or vandalism. And it doesn’t matter if it is a dude or dudette.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
