Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"

The only grievance I have with karma is the limitations placed on it. For instance if I like something you said and want to give you karma but haven't given any to enough other people since I last...

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"

That's the nature of the Karma system. I lost points for appreciating the fact that we've still got free parking in Accy! (At the time nobody else could come up with anything they could praise the...

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"

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...

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"

Thanks for the website.

Funnily enough when I keyed that in, the title which appeared was "art crimes" which I think just about sums up what most people think of graffiti - criminal damage.

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"

If it was commissioned it doesn't qualify as graffiti.

In the infants yard of the old Springhill School a mural was commissioned for one wall in order to brighten up the dull andcrumbling...

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"

I can't help wondering if the owner of the wall in Cj's post was in favour of the decoration.

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"

Well it certainly doesn't help does it? Can you see it ever being thought of as an improvement?

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"

I don't say that artist hasn't got talent just that it should be put to use elsewhere other than on walls, unless specifically commissioned by the owner of a building as a mural.

Do you seriously...

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"

I said those very same words myself only this weekend.

The thing about graffiti is that it isn't commissioned art. It is painted where people don't want it by people who have no right to do so.

Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"
