My brutally honest opinion, and mostly just me rambling before my coffee kicks in:

At least it actually resembles art and is not tagging. I have mixed feelings about this sort of stuff now, and I'm no boomer, I'm in my early 30s. When I was younger I was a street rat and got into tagging, thought it was cool and something to do with friends, a lot of kids in the druggie lifestyle did it. Not gang related, just street rat kids killing time really.

My feedback: at least it actually resembles art and isn't just tagging your name or brand on something. Is that a bird on the trash bin? I dig that, assuming it wasn't outside a person's house. It has a discernable positive message, and punk vibe to it. I like vandalizing corporations or other power hungry/oppressive institutions. These days, I do not like seeing this kind of stuff on random people's property, small businesses (unless they're assholes), or anywhere average people go to enjoy themselves, such as nature trails, parks, or walkways/bike paths. It starts to lose it's meaning and just because crude and pointless vandalism at that point. Street art should never degrade mother nature's art, places innocent people go to relax, or other people's enjoyment of that.

Some of these just look like meaningless doodles, except the bird. When tagging becomes meaningless without a message, it becomes trivial and juvenile in my millennial boomer opinion. I don't like seeing graffiti in certain places now, when I was 18 I didn't care, but do now.

I encourage your hobby, but maybe practice a bit more or have some more directional purpose/meaning before tagging public nature/recreational areas, or any area that does not directly represent oppression or corporatocracy/theocracy evils.

If I saw some random and crude (no offense) alien smiley face while jogging in down that path, or in a public park, I'd just roll my eyes.

Went on a bit of tangent ramble... Thanks for listening to my boomer TED Talk.
