Graffiti is not "landscape terrorism". Graffiti is ink on a wall; and, more often than not, an eyesore - nothing more.

Seriously, grow up.

the only anti gov graffing ive ever seen would have to be BANKSY. hes really cool. but other than that your better off looking on google for stuff than here. good luck with that. i like good graffiti.

[S7@1T3D]

Random what about it being a waste of taxpayers money and just pure vandalism.

[darkside92]

graffiti is not just pure vandalism it is a form of art that the goverment cant see as art. we put hard work effort and time and money getting our piceses up jsut to have them buffed in a few weeks.

Graffiti can be art. That doesn't mean that it is art. The bullshit 3-second tags that you see sprayed across cities is not art. In many cities of the world, there are incredible works made in the style of graffiti - however, these works typically have the permission of the owner of the "canvas" (be it a council or local authority, or the private owner of a building).

Some graffiti is art. A lot isn't.

anti government is easy
just break shit that they will have to pay for

if you want to support the revolution ect. then you do what Hitler did. glamorize the fuck out of the life of a revolutionist

Random are you serious?? graffiti if done right is far more beautiful than any van go, or even that wacko Picasso.

[crazy white guy]

Look up the definition for graffiti, No where will it say 'art'. Graffiti is vandalism and nothing else. There are art styles that uncultured people associate with graffiti. But the fact that it is often painted illegally on walls does not make the art itself graffiti.

You should learn to listen / read more, before you speak...

[Anarkii]

just because you dont have permission to do graff doesnt mean its not art most graffiti is done anonymously and with out financial gain. making it in my opinion the "purest" form of art

ive been tagging for maybe 4 years now and depending on where your located id love to go bombing with you minutefighter

[crazy white guy]

i didn't say that something you paint on a wall cant be art. I've seen some great murals in downtown Vancouver. I've toured hastings with my friends and climbed buildings to get a glimpse of my friend's new piece (ghost). But the word graffiti does mean that its art. the word graffiti means its vandalism. calling it graffiti just makes your art less respectable.

[Squad 11 Kenpachi Zaraki]

Some graffiti is nice to look at as you pass by. And it is a form of vandalism. But the best use that i know of for graffiti is to mark gang terroritys. If you still want to use it for speaking against gov. go and do it. No one is stoping you.

Seriously, graffiti is more of an art, I'd say, then terrorism? If I'm wrong, please pull the broom stick out of your ass.

Way to read the rest of the thread, might take a look up your own ass for that broom.

Anyway,

/sigh.
I'm not even a big 'art' fan but trying to push your opinions on completely different people, over the internet no less, seems like a bit of dumb idea. Especially when art and taste are so hard to define.


As for OP. Upload some pictures if its good.

[bloodlusta]

graffiti is ok when it is some where like a skate park, but i am sick and tired of having to paint the road side of our wool shed every monday! what the hell does tPc and ImTR stand for any way???

[Draven]

Well graffeti is used in many urban areas for comunication between groups and to mark territory. But graffiti was used by the Nazi party to spread its political message, so can you use graffiti to spread a message yes, but will everyone get the message no. You'll reach a "ghetto-subculture" but your message will fall on dead ear with anyone of conventional academic education...

Well Random, Graffiti is mostly an eyesore because people who believe they are cool go and tag a wall once, then never do it again. That in mind they usually Tag with Vulgar and obnoxious wear as in Sexual Organs, Cursing, etc. While they think they are being cool they are ruining the Graffiti artists reputation, making them look wrong, which is a complete misconception. But as according to this members post, i must agree. I doubt you know what you are looking for, and should not just join in to someone else's work.

nuff said

[Fayle]

No actually, that is not enough said. That is a biased opinion your showing here Vallen. What so if one hundred people get together, and start a business creating murels for people, that is all destroyed because one person is a criminal? No it is not worth the argument. Also you must be illiterate and did not even look at the picture that is obviously Duc Tape and Black Marker. It is not Graffiti
