i think you can tell a lot about people and the issues they face in their hometowns by the graffiti that covers their city.

thought some folks may enjoy browsing through this - it's a link to a compilation of worldwide graffiti.

cheers,

Impressive work of art!

There used to be a time where graffiti found its unique signatures on trains inside and out in the UK. Now you will mainly find them on buildings.. Some may think this is a nuisance, but to some, its a masterpiece!

hey jazzy, so glad you liked it and i agree...i personally am very impressed with the skill of graffiti artists...i had the idea of hiring one and asking them to paint one wall in my living room...eventually i will. i like the urban feel to their work.

cheers,

I was shocked when I came out here. I didn't see any graffiti at all for the first couple of years.
I've seen quite a bit in the cities and some larger towns since then.

In the UK, I know some people who do this kind of stuff use it as a way of expressing themselves. On the other hand, some of these graffiti artists do this to create an identity for them within the graffiti domain and it becomes their signature.
