 "for those of you that view it as art would you welcome that so called art on your house or personal property?" it's getting tiresome repeating myself to people who are too lazy to read previous posts and just jump in the middle of a discussion.. so i'll repost my response to this. "i never said it was okay to deface private property, i said that graffiti, whether you like it or not is art, look at some of the trains i posted, those are amazing works of art, yes they are done illegally and it is vandalism, but graffiti by defintion is doing art without permission and it won't stop, now here me out.. i don't think that it should be accepted, graffiti artists wouldn't want it to be accepted, that's part of the risk they take, but any which way you approach this argument, graffiti for the most part is art if the graffiti artist had taken time to sketch something out before hand, fabricate a colour scheme and then paint the piece.. if that's not art i don't know what is... i certainly know that art isn't contingent on getting permission... so i don't want to hear this "so if i painted your car or house that would be okay".. it is certainly not okay, but if i woke up and saw a character and lettering on my garage, i wouldn't deny it's artistic merits"
