From Tracie: Don't Forget The Copyright

Don't Forget The Copyright

I found some graffiti carefully marked with copyright symbols.

graffiti with copyright symbol

Because when you are illegally spray-painting graffiti on the side of a building, you want to make sure no one claims your stuff. Right? Maybe?

Have you ever used spray paint for side-of-the-building decorating?
(You can tell me. I promise not to turn you in to the cops.)

      Don't worry, Cindy, I felt very confused, too.

    I've never used spray paint for anything. I did however take a picture of graffiti in a bathroom stall at Barnes & Noble. Turns out the literary types leave some nice graffiti behind. LOL

      Ha! I want to see that picture.

      I used spray paint once for a school project when I had to make 50 American Flags to go around a Washington Monument I created, because the ones I found in the store weren't the correct scale. I painted all the little sticks silver. It was messy but fun.

    Too funny! I have never "decorated" the side of a building with spray paint.

    I've never used spray paint to decorate a wall! But I have seen some nice graffiti before. I don't think she uses spray paint though. http://www.alicepasquini.com/walls.html

    I've never done it myself, but I did enjoy a really cool day in New York City once wondering around looking at all the graffiti. I even found a few members of the Guardian Angels walking about and they explained some of the gang "tags" to me. it was quite informative and interesting in a strange way. no copyright marks were noted though.

    That is hilarious! Although I really question whether they intended to make the symbol. I have never done it, but sounds fun! Saw you on SITS! Have a great one! http://shaunellshair.blogspot.com

    That's so funny! I guess he didn't want it to end up on a tee-shirt or something. Hehe.

    HA! That's funny. Yeah, make sure no one copies your design (although, how could anyone? Sometimes I can't make sense of some of those graffiti designs!)

    Haha. This is really funny. I've never tagged anything. I don't think I've ever even had the need to cosmetically spray anything. But I guess, if it's yours...copyright it? Maybe? lol Dropping in from SITS.

    Follow back :)
