Ah, yes, the early succession growth… when you have a blank wall, the art will come. This had a short lifespan but made it into the archive.

Maybe a mural, part 12
I’d call this a tag, not a mural. It was on a vacant building, the former UA Plumbers & Steam Fitters Local No. 741 at 2475 E. Water, on December 8... and it was gone the next time I rode by, a few days later.
Of course, what’s graffiti to one person might be art to another. I thought of this as I read a couple of recent newspaper articles about tagging in Tucson. (Here’s the one from Tucson Weekly.) What if someone reports a piece of “urban art” as graffiti? I’d guess the company that cleans Tucson walls, Graffiti Protective Coatings, has experience with that.
What do you think about tagging? Other kinds of unsanctioned painting?
