Graffiti..Your Opinion?

[Cristian]

I was wondering what everybodys opinion on Grafitti is
i personally think its beatieful and if not on houses but on walls who otherwise would just be gery and sad and on trains is only nice and gives you a happy feeling.


anyway if you want to look up on some real grafitti go to
www.Cazter.com

Yeah, pretty pictures done right are fine. If spray-paint artists are willing to do this, the cities should allow them, IMO.

HOwever, most graffiti is just ugly -- a blight. Plus, since it carries gang symbols it is quite dangerous. In Chicago, an attorney in my office has this problem often in his building. And, the City absolutely must come round and sandblast the crap off the buildings, else a turf war start up. Very frustrating.

yeah timber loftis i agree the things they mostly do on teh walls are called Tags and are just some ugly words that we must stop!
but as a goooood grafitti painter says Tags is fo Pussys!^_^

I loving going bombing, hitting trains or abandoned warehouses. I hate tagging but putting up a good piece i think is great.

cool do you have any photos of your work?

I like artistic graffiti (a group/or maybe just one person getting together to make a piece on a wall), I hate when gangs start putting their insignias and stuff up. Examples of this are "SK8 & DESTROY!" and "I DID [insertnamehere] LAST NIGHT!".
