What is the background of the Graffiti Report Card?

It’s a project I started a couple of months ago after seeing my neighborhood (The Mission District of San Francisco) receive an amazing amount of ugly, large, and talentless graffiti. I wanted a way to combat the ugly graffiti while at the same time give praise to the talented graffiti writers who I feel make the streets more beautiful. It occurred to me, that many of our local taggers don’t realize how ugly and talentless their graffiti is, so I wanted to give them some feedback.

jackv, I love the idea of the report card!  As a former writer, I can appreciate good and bad work (most of which is just plain terrible). By making the writers and taggers accountable to a greater audience, perhaps they will think twice when throwing up some nonesense.  Might I suggest fleshing out the story a little more?  Have you received feedback from anyone? Good stuff.
