The destruction of graffiti canvases like 5Pointz and Boone Avenue in the Bronx's West Farms have aerosol artists wondering what's next for them in a city with fewer and fewer paintable walls. "The writers' community is concerned," says one artist. "A lot of the writers say they won't have the freedom to express themselves. People might take art into their own hands, like it was back in the '80s." Could that mean ... the subway? De Blasioooooo! *shakes fist at sky* [NYT; previously]
