Isn’t that nice? It seems a local artist has been giving his art away in public places, and of course this has the city upset. They claim it’s dangerous, that it might confuse motorists. Let’s step back and view the context:

Confused? I didn’t find it so terribly hard to interpret this, but I’m not talking on a cellphone.

Some argue this is defacing the public landscape, but I let you be the judge. Is the piece below defacing the public space?

Or is it an improvement on the public sculpture it graces?

I applaud the artist on his work and generosity and hope the city keeps its grubby mitts off of free art in the future.
