Getting rid of ‘eyesores’

To the editor:

(re: “Meet Riverdale’s reverse-graffiti artist,” May 18)

Thank you to John Provetto and all the volunteers who artfully restore property with reverse-graffiti brush strokes.

Art is in the eye of the beholder, and some graffiti can be amazing. But anything placed on public or private property without permission is vandalism.

Most graffiti in the neighborhood is tagging — not an art — and is destructive and a damage to property.

So many thanks for helping to restore the beauty that which is otherwise an “eyesore of the beholder.”
