It seems that the rule of law is not the point of contention, only that the vandalism seems artsy.

How surprised am I that one of the movement's founders named her group Knitta Please? Not much.

Reminds me of when that artist put tu-tus over the bottom of light posts downtown about six years ago. That was funny.

Once again, you cannot stop the Spring.
@majohnson: Come to Figment on Belle Isle this summer [[Aug. 6) for knit-bombing fun and more. Don't get your panties in a bunch. This is city-authorized event. I'll buy you a sasparilla and we can flap jibs over merits/demerits of street art.

Figment, the 'leave no trace event'?
I will try to make it.

I am not against more art.
I personally think lots of this could be a source of culture and economic development.
Story telling events like The Moth are catching on around the country.
I believe people would pay $7-15 a pop in a to see grafitti styled art in a strolling art gallery/ wine setting if put in Midtown.
I would love to see that happen.
