It becomes vandalism when its hateful or distasteful, or not in a spot that compliments it. I think graffiti is a great inner city art when done in a proper fashion.fredamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445217103291725907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-3646612469525813662012-03-12T08:41:52.167-04:002012-03-12T08:41:52.167-04:00Well, I suppose it’s art ....until someone does it...Well, I suppose it’s art ....until someone does it on the lovely white painted walls of the houses in Lanzarote, where I live - then it’s vandalism! The old lighthouse here has been desecrated in just such a way, and I have to say, I don’t like it!Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-88614741505167089112012-03-11T19:15:40.022-04:002012-03-11T19:15:40.022-04:00In my book there are no quotes around the word art...In my book there are no quotes around the word artist in reference to graffiti..I think the ones who do add quotes are laying judgment or are afraid to admit that graffiti is art.. Have u ever noticed that the one who can take an aerosol can and just create free hand is the most creative? I know I couldn't do it.. Graffiti has gotten a bad rap and we all know its because so called gangs would leave their tag.. I will say that even the tags left are quite artistic.. The style of lettering, angle.. Some even have a 3-D effect , creativity comes in so many flavors- so-to-speak.Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.com
