I'm not a fan of graffiti, but I love street art far too much to ever be totally against it. Those inane taggers need to have their hands tied together, no doubt about it, but a colourful mural or a quirky little artwork left in the dead of night in an otherwise abandoned and grey part of the urban landscape... that's alright by me. I guess I will take the tags if losing them meant losing the good stuff.

When I was a high school student I used a permanent marker to write poems on the toilet walls... it's art baby!
Street art - love it, graffiti seems fairly talentless and generally rude and not thoughtfully placed - definitely a difference. Have you seen the movie 'Exit Through the Gift Shop'?
A bit like you, I like the murals and the street art, but I'm not a fan of tags and 'scribble'!
The grubby, rubbishy tags make me a bit sad. But fabulous street art out of the blue really makes my day!
snap to you. tagging is so dumb. I dont understand why people want to make their own neighbourhood more ugly. Its like crapping in your own front yard. But actual art is awesome and should be celebrated! this stuff is great :)
