I've seen pictures that say graffiti is not a crime. That's bull, the main reason I do it is because it's a crime I can get away with. Yes it is also art, but it's illegal art. Legal pieces are art, but most of it is vandalism.
i think you said it best lol i dont think alot of us would be doing it if it was legal. i rarely do legal shit cuz its not worth paying for the paint
its vanalism, if you wanna get far in graffiti your gonna have to realise that, the moment its on a canvas or a legal wall, then it can be called art, but if your causing damage, then its vandalism.
If you're painting just for the purpose of destroying shit, then it's vandalism, but if you're doing a piece in a chill spot, then you're generally doing it for the sake of painting something dope, and not just destroying some walls.
its neither vandalism nor art, its something that artistic low lifes do to kill time in there sad lonely lives
i know, i didnt mean it like that though. i ment like you plan to paint when you got nothing to do in that day or w/e like that
graffiti is not vandalism unless it is all that bull shit like bongs and other pictures that dont even mean anything. there are people that take there time and do it good and that is art, but when someone writes "fuck you" on a wall that is not cool that there is vandalism.
bombing is straight up vandalism same with that gang graffiti bull shit that gang shit looks mad gross but them pieces, thats... i guess art but some say other, right?
i think its just a illegal way to get ur message across cuz fuck it not everybody's gonna write a book or some dumb shit like that to get a message across why not do it in a way u like which is bombing or straight graffitti i like doing that way anyway regardless if it was illegal or not... lol
