[QUOTE=Caulo32;24507804]So if someone walked up to your house and painted anime characters or dragons or whatever the fuck you people assume art is on the side of your house you'd just go "daww look he made arts"[/QUOTE]
thats why no artists do it on houses and instead do it on public places :downs:
Yeah, really, when was the time you went into a residential Neighborhood and saw someone tagging the side of some white picket fence house?
Ok maybe that was a poor example. But all those "public places" are owned by someone. Painting on the side of it isn't what they wanted unless they said "yes you can paint on the side of my building".
Graffiti in itself is great, the problem occurs when people draw stupid shit and act like it's cool. Graffiti should be covered under free expression but still have limitations on hate speech, indecency and plain old retarded ones.
I honestly love graffiti, it's like drawing, and marking your place in streotype gangs. I do it, but on designated property.
There's a big concrete skatepark in my hometown that was built a few years back. A lot of people wanted to do some graffiti style art on it to make it look nicer but everyone had such a hangup about it that they never bothered. It's just a concrete formation now instead of an awesome attraction.
[QUOTE=VeryNiceGuy;24505561]It doesn't destroy anything, and if you want to get rid of it just paint over it. Sometimes it's beautiful and attracts customers to your business.[/QUOTE]
Paint isn't free bro. They're costing you money.
according to the law, it's wrong
according to me, who gives a shit

Paint ain't free of the tagger, either.
Depends if the artist has the permission.
Short of replacing sections, there is no way of making a treated (non-painted) wooden fence look as it did before being screwed with by some punk.

My fence was tagged. Then the neighbourhood watch phoned us and issued us a fine if we were not to get rid of the graffiti. So then we had to go out and buy paint and brushes, just to paint a square over our fence. Now our fence has a ugly looking square of paint over it.
I know there's an unused train tunnel that everyone uses to paint their graffiti
:iia:
It's wrong because my mummy said so.
Fuck people, have some Independence.

Tiebreaker anyone?

Wow you're dumb.
Graf cunts piss me off.
it's illegal [I]and[/I] awesome. good graffiti anyway.
i'm tired of hearing about Banksy, though. Banksy isn't a graffiti artist anymore. His art is worth too much to be considered vandalism these days.
Banksy is awesome.
Shitty Graffiti however.. is not.
I don't care if it's on a piece of property the "artist" owns. But if it's on some other property, fuck them.
so you're saying the difference between a good piece of art is who owns the canvas?
Graffiti [U]is[/U] Art in my opinion.
Writing on a wall "HERP DERP MIKE LOVES SARAH" is NOT art.
Good graffiti, I find awesome, and it does brighten up some shit here.
Bad graffiti sucks.
I cant say that grafitti is ugly (except for all the gay tags)
The stuff by the car parks of the ASDA in Walsall is rather nice, and they've had permission to put it there. If it's a random drawing of a dick, then it doesn't need to be there.
call 464-3464 for a good time

That just happens to be where Garry lives.

and a few miles from me :smug:
What I think : Graffiti is vandalism on the streets, randomly scrawled names aren't really considered art in my opinion. There's a wall near where I live that has amazing pieces of art, but one of the gulleys near my house just contains, to put it bluntly, crap. And someone sprayed their name on the back of my wall in my back garden. To the person who did that : you can :fuckoff:
