    If it’s artistic, sure. Even if it said “penis man” in an artful way. But this is as close to art as a adult still drawing stick figures. It’s almost embarrassing we don’t have better vandals in the neighborhood.

      Oh, so a urinal is art, but Penis Man isn’t? So plebian. Scoff! I scoff at thee!

      In some respects the art is in the act itself, in the rebellion, in defiance, in the declaration that “I was here.” Even something as simple as a tag scrawled on a wall that seems illegible to the uninitiated but actually contains complex letterforms like Philly’s wickets, or even the simplicity from the great Cornbread himself.

      In some ways Penis Man here is more of an artist IMO than anyone who only paints legally, even Sofles level murals.

      And he went back over the buff too, props to Penis Man.
