Jen,
Boy, did that news disturb me when I read about it this morning. That was most contemptible behavior. I've been to the Tate. One of my favorite galleries featuring one of my favorite painters, William Hogarth. A lot of his work is there.

Still not a fan of the Black on Maroon paintings.

Now the painting actually has some impact. Good work, vandalizing mental case/art student.

It's also too bad the guy didn't paint:

"Plan ahea

That manifesto is hella dumb, but I'm still 100% pro-art vandalism. REPRESENTATIONAL SYMBOLISM OR NO SYMBOLISM AT ALL!
