Hello.
And i too agree that not all of this work is graffiti. These paintings are absoulutely spectacular. ITs just sad that these children would use their beautiful and talented art skills on public property. And I being an artist can see talent. And lots of it.

Someone failed to even look in the dictionary when they posted that graffiti was illegal…etc. This is the correct definition of graffiti:

plural noun sing. graffito -·fi?to (-?)

inscriptions, slogans, drawings, etc. scratched, scribbled, or drawn, often crudely, on a wall or other public surface
Etymology: It, scribblings < graffio, a scratch < L graphium: see graft

There is nothing illegal about graffiti..now maybe on trespasses or defaces public property and that is illegal…but graffiti in and of itself is not. In fact, I consider the subject as sending a message, or the picture as art. Someone needs to not be so close-minded…and accept graffiti for the message it is sending.

Great photos. All I usually see are train cars that have been tagged by the gangs…although at some of our parks they have some of the cement electricity casings and the outside walls of the public restrooms painted. And…some of the artists were paid to paint the graffiti for the publics enjoyment.

So…put that in your pipe and smoke it and do refer to a dictionary before you give a definition!

Hehehe… This is rare – I spot my home town while killing time on the internet? And here I thought we were too far from interesting things to be all that noteworthy out here in the big scary internet. XD

But yeah… that second one from the top is along the train line I have to take if I want to go, well, pretty much anywhere in this city… I always kinda absent-mindedly looked up from my book or whatever to see it as I went past. <3

You are correct Paige Filler, it is a blanket term whether it is illegal or not, but most of those pics are not legal. For instance, Bansky the 4th down is a stencil/graff artist and are not legal and he lives in europe and actually has a book of all his work and it is quite amazing! Take a look at some of his other work:

Just because it is not legal doesn’t mean it is not true art!
