It's not art

Marc Ecko, the former graffiti artist and fashion designer, doesn’t think subway scratchiti is art.

“That is illegal vandalism, there is a distinction,” he said.

Today a Manhattan judge ruled in his favor that  the city can’t ban the sale and possession of spray paint and broad-tipped markers to anyone between the ages of 18 through 21. Etching acid is still off-limits.
