This is a great example of mindless graffiti. Tagging a graffiti piece which is now over 10 years old (painted 2005) is plain stupid. There's absolutely no logical reason. I understand some people's mission to not follow any rules, but really? The general saying "don't cap what you can't burn" isn't even a rule, its what writers do as a sign of respect to other writers and the broader culture. Respect your elders, and don't bring misogyny into graffiti.

Belgrave Line Beef
Cevor and Sider have started a battle around the Belgrave-Lilydale train lines. Cevor deliberately wrote over one of Sider's most prominent pieces and said "You wanted it." Since this happened many of cevor's pieces have been capped in retaliation, including at Croydon, Ferntree Gully and Upwey train stations.

Hugh Dunit
Renowned Melbourne artist from 1980's. Using the moniker Hugh Dunnit to say who done it (graffiti)? Known as a king from his era. Some pieces remain, but many have been painted over. He was a pioneer, making use of high accessible walls, inaccessible to buffers to produce heavens (pieces above ground, usually on rooftops or buildings).
