When you are driving in your car or on the subway, you may notice when you look out on buildings or on walls you will see this art form. This art form is called Graffiti and is considered to be illegal if it is happened to be drawn on public or private buildings and walls. I remember two weeks ago taking the Amtrak from New Jersey to Delaware. Looking out to the left and right all I saw was this graffiti. Some of it vulgar and disgusting other times beautiful and enlightening. I saw gang signs drawn all the way to butterflies and everything between also. In this photo the man is drawing a beautiful colored image over some other graffiti that most likely was not as nice to look at. Lots of this art form is associated with gangs calming their territories by marking building with certain words or symbols to let others that they are not welcome. There is a graffiti cleanup team working all over mostly ever city in the United States trying to clean up the property damage that has occurred. I personally think the style of graffiti is amazing but not on buildings. It just looks tacky and unprofessional. When the art is done on a painting or done on a building for a cause, it always happens to look better. The worst and most vulgar graffiti always happens to take place in male restrooms I would assume over women restrooms. Almost every man’s restroom, even nice restaurants and upscale places will have some graffiti someplace in the bathroom. This is the type along with having stuff all over buildings is disgusting but it can be beautiful if used in the right way.
Graffiti happens everywhere what do you think about it?
