Graffiti That Made Me Look Twice (Pictures)

[CNW 6000]

Yes graffitti can be good art work. But it is still being done to property that does not belong to the painter.

+1.  Still vandalism and trespassing.

Its not because its white, its because its the flattest and one of the bigger freight cars. Plus.....getting to them is as easy as walkin down the street.

....It's not necessarily important "how" I look at it....Bottom line:  It's breaking the law.

So is spying on the American people without a warrant.... but apparently you can get away with that too in this country.

Sort of.... Many artists are now in art museums and have recieved many awards for their artwork. Some artists have had their own shoe or other type of clothing produced with their name and style. Sorry....The only way for a graffiti artist to work their way up to this type of fame is years of painting freights and becoming well known for it. Its because of the trains and the places they travel in the USA that gets an artist famous. Ive never heard of any graffiti artist becoming famous without paintin trains or wall/buildings for years and years. An artist that uses spray paint legally is just refered to as a aerosal paint artist which is different than a graffiti artist ......and quite frankly is disregarded and hated by real graffiti artists.
