I don't do graffiti, but like looking at it when it's had some effort put in. The colourful tags on the trackside brighten up a dull train trip to London

There's a fantastic graffiti wall in an underpass near Southampton Common, you can tell it's a commissioned piece from the sheer size of it and the fact that several artists worked on it. I can't get any photos so youtube will have to do (link). Awesome stuff.

Next time I'm on the subway with a camera, I'll be sure to grab some pics.
Like Moots said, there's a lot in Toronto that's amazing.

I have many pictures of the urban murals on Rush Lane Alley in downtown Toronto. I just have to find them and upload them. I took those pictures for a project and an essay I did. I wrote an essay saying that graffiti is a style of art.

And don't anyone bother convincing me if graffiti is art or not, because I've already convinced myself. I would argue back with my essay I typed up 2 years ago.. if I can find it lol. I'll just say that art can be performed in many ways. Graffiti is a way where people, although they sometimes illegaly do it on private properties, express themselves.

yeah i am still quite inexperienced but getting better. i wanna do a coarse in fine arts: street art at university when i leave school.

 

[dEC0DED]

omg don't do a course in street art....

go out in the streets and just make something of your paint and express yourself however you want too.

keep in mind that "public area" isn't public because billboards and advert spacing goes to those who have that funding.... no real PUBLIC people have that so we write on the walls to express ourselves openly. right there in your face.

fuck what anybody thinks about it. do it for yourself. just like i don't give a fuck bout the newest mcdonalds billboards... that i bomb.....

Graffiti is not Art. Its a crime.

Graffiti is different from Vandalism. Thought I don't really care for either one.
