I grafittied someone's car once with Christmas spray paint.

It was abandoned in the centre of the village because there was a warrant out for the owner's arrest after he hospitalised his wife.

I sprayed, "You can't beat a woman" down both sides and a big woman symbol on the bonnet and 4am in the morning, my daughter in the baby buggy and us both wearing balaclava's. giggle

It kind of caused a bit of a stir in the village the next day, which I could see whilst I was sitting on my front doorstep keeping an eye on the kids playing in the street. It gave me an understanding of the power grafitti can have and why people do it. Its a means of having a voice.

Done in the right place, looks good, like cover dirty cement walls with art. here, like probably many other countries they do it on the train carriages, just looks tacky.barf

Many men's bathrooms look similar to the pic. In lots of bathrooms here in th U.S., graffiti will say, "For a good time, call..." Yuk! That's just mean to post ladies' names and phone numbers in a bathroom stall.

I think it's a sign of neglected communities, lack of civic pride and an angry underclass.

I think it's what happens within a youth taught to aspire and who are desperate for recognition in a society saturated with oh so much stuff. If you are a bit creative or entrepreneurial then you're faced with the fact that everything has been before. And from this come noise. Graffiti is noise on the walls.

jono7: big difference between graffiti and vandalism.


Think a grafitti could be artistic and vandalic at the same time.

The unauthorized painting of another else's properties.

There is in the classical sense. But in the modern sense there is no difference. Under aesthetic relativism(beauty is in the eye of the beholder)art is all in the personal expression. If you can rationalise a concept for a picture of a steaming pile of dog turd(for example)then this is as valid as the Sistine Chapel according to modern art.
