For those looking to engage the street art debate in a less destructive fashion than the Splasher, consider the option created by artist Drew Heffron, whose 'Graffiti Critique' was appropriated and converted into the 'Graffiti Report Card' by the art blogger Brandon Thomas Baunach. '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,' Baunach writes. And now you can, too: The Graffiti Report Card can be downloaded, printed, and then pasted directly next to pieces of graffiti art to share your analysis of an artist's creativity, skill, and daring. Baunach also encourages users of the Graffiti Report Card to take pictures of the graffiti they've critiqued and post it to his Flickr group website.
