Graffiti Blog.

Graffiti.
Art or Shart? Graffiti is a much debated subject. When looking at the some of the pieces of art that are created by graffiti artists for this blog, it is hard to imagine how graffiti could be seen as anything but an art form. The problem rises from the places that this work is displayed, i.e private property which is in face being defaced and vandalized. The government have tried schemes in some areas, providing large boards in certain area, specifically for graffiti. But part of the thrill seems to come from 'tagging' the most dangerous of places. A 'tag' is left by the artist, something which assigns the work to them but is also anonymous to the authorities.
