"Art"

I literally lol (laughed out loud) and rotf (rolled on the floor). I thought I lmao (laughed my ass off) but I looked back and it was still there. Maybe I should have cried.

Yana told me that they are practicing how to spray paint in her art class. I say "practicing" because Yana was the only one who was learning. She was the only one who had never spray painted before. Actually, a few of the kids in her class are really good.

I guess I should not be surprised ... looking around the parks and buildings and walls and trash bins and postal boxes and bridges and sculptures and monuments. I've even seen bushes and dogs spray painted.

Spray painting is a very affordable and accessible "art." In Spain, anyone of any age can walk into a China store (kind of like our dollar stores) and buy a can of spray paint for a euro or two. Sometimes the spray paint display is in the front of the store, in the first aisle, or even next to the door so you don't forget it. And the surfaces are readily available ... unless they have been "claimed" by an artist with better talent than your own.

They need to learn some lessons from the Lemoi Ace Hardware on Davis and get that spray paint locked up!
