Photo of the Day: Tagging St. Pete
July 29th, 2008 by Alex Pickett in Urban Explorations
Snapped a photo of this little piece of illegal art earlier today on Second Street North and Central Avenue. It’s allegedly a calling card left by the Southern California band OPM, who stopped by Jannus Landing last week on their tour with metalcore outfit Hed PE.
According to Ultimate-Guitar.com, this tag earned OPM frontman John Necro (aka John Charles Edney) an arrest by St. Petersburg Police. He spent a few hours in jail and was released on $1,000 bail (see mugshot here).
“I find it kind of ironic that Saint Petersburg, FL, home to the Salvador Dali museum, could be so insanely uptight about spray painting,” Necro says in the article. “In some areas Graffiti is regarded as a form of art worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions, but obviously the state of Florida feels differently.”
Yep, graffiti is against the law here. I thought that was half of the fun.
