Well you guys are losers.

The government is going to have to pay to have that sign cleaned. Therefore taking money from much more worthy places and increasing taxes.

Go get a life and try to amount to something other than trash, because painting over a street sign wont be something youll look back on where your older and be proud of.

Ive nothing against good graffiti art when permission is asked. Theres a tunnel near where I live with some awsome paintings in it. However you are just vandilising like an immature boy who thinks its cool.


Dude you just don't understand.

i think good graffiti looks hella sick, and can be done places where it doesn't matter.

and imo good graffiti makes what it is on look better.

Well like I said earlier; the thing is to get that good and to show off work like that you have to do it illegally just because it's practice. You wouldn't have anywhere else to do it.

Don't like graffiti at all. Maybe if I lived in a big city and it was some sort of subculture I would but I don't.

Yeah illegally destoying other peoples property is just a misunderstood field.

I understand fine. I think anyone who damages property that is not their own and thinks they are cool are losers. If someone graffiti'ed your stuff, you would be pissed. But its ok to go to it to others?

And Yes I think the op should go get a life. Your goal in life is to be a graffiti artist?

No I don't think so.

Why they do it on government property is to get their name out, to get famous within the scene.
With graffiti being one of the main elements of hip hop, along with emceeing, bboying, and DJing - it is an outlet for people for their creativity, stress, anything, etc. Expressing oneself. While some may do it 'just to impress', many do it to express ones opinions, views or feelings. (weather it'd be rebelling or supporting)
I know from another point of view they should just not do it, let the gov't spend money on something useful and whatnot but if not, it's just wasted talent. You work hard and master your craft and passion (whatever that may be) but if you can't get known for it (or somebody claims it's their own thing), then all the time you spent would be meaningless.

It's a topic that can be argued endlessly though.

lol dude as if you couldn't buy some piece of wood or something similar to practice with. Your just a fucking vandal and I hope you get caught and have to sell all your belongings to pay for cleansing and shit. Because I would prefer if my tax money is used to build a school to educate failures like u.

Failure? Funny how you're able to start judging with out knowing some one. First of all I'm actually in my 4th year of university and I'm studying Graphic Design. It's also funny that you say to "educate failures like me" because all I see is broken grammar and horrible spelling errors. Also a piece of wood isn't big enough to practice on; maybe just for throw ups and tags but that's about it.

I understand fine. I think anyone who damages property that is not their own and thinks they are cool are losers. If someone graffiti'ed your stuff, you would be pissed. But its ok to go to it to others?


I really wouldn't be pissed, because it's art. With out art this world would be a shit hole.

Everyone thinks graffiti is some form of gang shit when it's not. Probably gangs use graffiti to mark territory but not us graffiti artist. We use it to just express ourselves in the best way possible; it's our way of art. Illegal or not Illegal, it doesn't matter. We will express ourselves either way.

Yea haha. Amazing graffiti takes time, which is when we do it on legal walls, but the best kind of graffiti is when you do it on illegal walls. Reason why? Time wise, how well you're able to manage a throw up and on how well you can design it.


If you look at amazing, design skilled graffiti, it means they had time to do it which probably means it was legal. Like this one ---v

This is one he had time to spend on


This one isn't. This is when your true graffiti artist comes out and when your best work can be shown.

To do something like this on a train never knowing when they're going to come out and catch you is amazing.

By the way all the pictures are from the same graffiti artist.

Any claim of doing this for the art is lost right there.

lol uh no it can't

ya dudez i went to japanz i trained in da ninja wayz, how i get my name out if i don't throw throwing starz at policeman???

That's the dumbest fucking argument ever. Don't try to paint this shit as something it isn't. You're illegally painting over legitimate huge fucking highway signs that's gonna fuck up a bunch of people who don't know the area and cost the government thousands of dollars to repair and fix. Go graffitti somewhere where it isn't gonna fuck with other people, express it there douchebag, nobody but your other loser douchebag friends are gonna think it's sick or a form of expression. The side of a train car, the side of a bridge, that kind of shit is fine because the government does not HAVE to pay money to get it fixed. Painting over street signs is just plain old vandalism and is no different than me taking a sledgehammer and smashing it, because the end result of either is that the sign is now useless and unreadable. Yea I can take a shit in the middle of the street and call it a form of expression. Go express yourself somewhere else.

Also don't make the title of your blog "WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT" and then be a little bitch to everyone who says they don't like it.

No, because you have a certain time limit to do it. You have to try to do your best work before they come out and notice you're there. That is why I say illegal bombing is the best form of graffiti, cause that's when you're true graffiti artist shows. That's when amazing art is born.

Your arguments hold even less weight when you lie

There is no way in hell if you woke up one morning to some guy spray painting your car you would be cool with it.
