This was on Sunrise on Seven yesterday.
I think it's quite amusing, in that if the vandals have their licence taken away that means they will have to catch public transport......
The suggestion that people caught vandalising property have their drivers license confiscated has found many supporters.
The problem of graffiti and vandalism in Sydney has grown to such disturbing proportions that the state Opposition Leader has released his plan to curb the epidemic.
Barry O'Farrell says his crackdown will see young offenders paying court-imposed fines and spending longer on their L-plates and P-plates.
O'Farrell's plan also recommends forcing vandals to clean up their mess.
Do you think these idea will work to reduce vandalism and graffiti?See the full article and video here
86 Creative Mural Spotlight: Dimesnional Elements
Here's some great examples of combining mural painting with sculptural 'dimensional' elements on a project. This was done at the Largs Bay RSL & Largs North Railway Station a few years ago.
This was an really interesting project to work on where interviews were done with war veterans who were able to offer some real life experiences that they went through, which were then added to the 'story line' of the mural.
The truck on the front is a real 'Blitz' Truck and added a great element to this project, there's also a plane propeller and the 'interpretive signs' were completed by painting real train wheels, which were extremely heavy! Once finished they were placed along the path and surrounded by all new landscaping, lighting and security which completely transformed this lane way and building.
All in all this was an outstanding project and actually won a National Council Award for best practice in Community Art and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design.
