Graffiti * Canada - 'Artists' rile truckers
Toronto,Ontario,Canada -National Post, by David Menzies -February 29, 2008: -- David Contant is a proponent of free speech and freedom of expression. And, like so many others, he appreciates fine art. But the Burlington, Ont.-based trucker was far from amused recently when he discovered that a budding artist/social activist/vandal decided his truck would be an ideal canvas for a cryptic message delivered via a can of spray paint... Contant is the latest trucker to be victimized by graffiti "artists" who have decided that trucks, cube vans and other large vehicles make for good targets when it comes to displaying their horrendous handiwork. Indeed, whereas graffiti was once confined to downtown back alleys and the odd railroad car, a growing trend has emerged wherein vandals are turning their attention to the world of wheels... Contant says he wouldn't have minded if his truck had been tagged by someone painting, say, a replica of the Mona Lisa on his rig. But, like the vast majority of urban graffiti blight, the supposed artwork is merely a mishmash of gibberish that could've been administered by a chimpanzee wearing a blindfold...
