yea good graffiti is cool, but when I look around most of it is crappy tagging with just black spray paint of kids tagging their spot. Or stupid gangs in my area tagging everything they can from trash cans to fences. Most are not talented in any way.Sucks they ruin it for the artists, but thats why its illegal and should stay so.


just my opinion

I don't like it when people don't step back to appreciate 'street' art like hip hop music and graffiti. Honestly, hip hop is one of the greatest forms of art that has come out of this shithole of a country. It comes from jazz, and alongside jazz it is one of very few things that we can call completely American.

These people make no money from their work, their work would be rejected from fine art museums, yet it is "art" to photograph this graffiti, frame it, and stick it in a museum exhibit on the perils and challenges of inner city living? Sickening.



Word man. Graffiti IS ART. Period. I think anyone who truly gets what art is about should be able to appreciate graffiti to some degree.

i agree johnny, i think all of the tags (one colour line scribbles) and bombs (two colour usually cloudy looking rush pieces) should be illegal and stay illegal. No one wants to see just this pieces of crap that just dmg peoples fences and shop fronts etc.

But what i do think should be legalized and encouraged is the artistic side of graffiti. The giant murals, colourful pieces, pictures of commonly known characters, all the good stuff. Even amazing patterns and whatnot, that stuff to me is gold.
