I agree with you Ceejache that some of them have talent but I wish it could be channelled in other directions and not encouraged as graffiti. I sort of suspect too that those with talent wouldn't be interested in a workshop because they probably feel there's nothing of benefit to them whereas it is more likely to attract kids who've never done any graffiti but once they are taught how they then might decide to give it a go in the "real world"

Another interesting point I noticed following up a link from that site - a website whose owner insists that graffiti "artists" should show respect for each other by not painting over someone else's work. What about showing respect for the owner of the wall who probably painted it plain white in the first place?
