Vandalism or art?


I rather like the new look that someone has given to some local postboxes. The Evening News article says it will cost the Post Office £1000 to correct the "vandalism" but I'm not convinced it IS vandalism. What do you think?

The size and style of the box tells us what it is, why does it have to be red?

I reckon because of convention. So many people will be looking out for red boxes to deposit letters and will fail to find them especially old people who still have this habit...I think it is vandalism.

i think it's great, It is vandalism, but that's part of the reason why its cool, the artist is challenging the stereotypes of vandals and showing that they can have intellegence and humour and aren't just mindless teenage thugs.

i love it
