i think graf artists are some of the most talented artists in the world. graffiti is a work of art like no other... i LOVE it, the detail, the colors, and most of all the meaning/symbolization behind its works
Sincerely,

I'd rather look at graffiti than Budweiser billboards anyday.

I ride the train past the 5 Pointz building in Queens on my way to work, here's a couple pictures of it that don't really do it justice. There are always new pieces to look at.

One stops being a vandal and becomes a graffiti artist when one realizes that one is no longer a vandal but is now a graffiti aritst.

Anything can be art, some of it is dope, some sucks, thats it.

Even a person who goes around breaking windows could call it art.

People often say graffiti is not art just because it is illegal but if I paint Jesus under a bridge with Krylon and you paint Jesus in your church with a paint brush, my Jesus is just as much art as yours, mine is just unwanted art, art nonetheless.

To see some great local graffiti purchase a copy of Bomb the Fort from Jedi Glide, it contains a full color history in pictures of Fort Wayne graffiti, by the way, me and Glide used to go bombin back in the days,
