I like it, graffiti is art, and vandalism is vandalism, people need to be sure not to confuse the two, I enjoy the look of graffiti when it is properly showcased and I believe that in this case it is. For this particular piece, I don't like how dark it is but it does fit in with the Snoopy colors.

Now to the distinct difference between Graffiti and Vandalism, Vandalism is destroying something with out permission of the owner, it does not matter whether your write the name of a gang on a bridge or paint the Mona Lisa on the side of a truck, with out permission both are vandalism, however with permission both are art and forms of self expression. Sanddrag for you to jump down some ones throat and insult their art work I believe is being ignorant of their purpose, I believe that you are looking at this very narrow minded. For example I hate tattoos, I have never liked them for some reason, I can however watch a show like Miami ink and appreciate the work artistically. Please try to be open minded, one thing I like about chief Delphi and first is that the people come from small towns and big cities are split between liberal and conservative, yet it doesn't matter because every ones goal is common. Please in the future if you dislike something someone has spent time and energy on keep it to your self and don't assume what they did was wrong. I am sure the teacher received permission from the Principal and any other necessary administrators, unless you have proof other wise I believe you should assume the same.
