You can't like graffiti anymore. Everyone is so angry. Landlords, big business, public transportation and government. They all have lowered their menacing eyebrows and think that every teenager with a felt pen is just as big a criminal as the leader of the biggest gang in the country. 

It is not even okay to talk about graffiti anymore. Once the word is uttered people will get angry and talk about damage and vandalism. It's as if we were to ban baseball. You could kill someone with a bat so therefore you should not play baseball at all. Zero tolerance for baseball bats. 

It is time to invent a new word so that we can start talking about the good side of public art again. It is time to create an option that people don't associate with criminal damage. A legal alternative to street art and graffiti. So that maybe the debate can pick up again in a few years. Maybe it needs fresh and moisturizing agents to bring down the threatening tone. 

I've done it before and I'll do it again. 

I'm talking about Sweet Art. 
Sweet Art is about finding creative new ways to make art and creative expressions in the public domain, but without breaking the law. It can be done in different ways: 

- You can find loopholes in the law. Places where it's okay to paint or do street art. 

- One can find methods that doesn't destroy buildings, surfaces or objects. 

- You can find materials that don't create rubbish or destroy nature.
