Graffiti... Vandalism or art?

[Occured]

Graffiti is vandalism. If they wanted to paint some art on walls they could ask a shop owner or pay for a wall themselves. Instead they decide to go the illegal route; and for that, it is vandalism.

I don't think you've read the posts at all

keep it in 1 small area kinda like a gallery instead of it ruining the image of a whole town

Graffiti is best done in public view.

That's part of the fun, you don't get caught.

The Ice people can take ages on a piece depending where it is, there's one under the motorway bridge near me and is pretty good, must have took 20 mins or so.

KottonMouth, i'll colour it for you if you like, what colours you want? Still got the paper i did it on somewhere lol

 

[KottonmouthKing4200]

i think its art and vandilsm. if you post it on trains, buildings then its not art. but if you do it legally then its definitely art.

I didn't think NYs graffiti was all that after seeing it, sure it's amazing how someone climbed 50ft onto a spire to do a piece. The best graffiti i've seen was in San Juan.

I don't care really, but if you're gonna call it art, do it on your own canvas.
