Graffiti art or not?

[Matt,]

I was looking though the thread that Jackboy created and decided to post this

What are your views on graffiti art i don't meen just some-one's name written across a wall saying "i woz ere 06" i meen actuall graffiti art
Example:

Show Hide

If it isn't on some brand spanking new building or ruining a perfectly good scene im not too fussed.

I think it depends i don't think 'tags' are art but sometimes you see something thats been done and it looks amazing like that thing that was done on the Tate Mordern in london. They kept it for years and years because it was so amazing but it recently got painted over by accident.

some looks good.

it is art, but i don't think it should be done all over the streets.

aslong as its not on bus stops etc..

Graffiti in terms of Banksy's work etc is art, when idiots go around and write "Garion woz ere 2k7", which is also graffiti, it is not art.

I like some of it, council sometimes hires people to do it on certain walls don't they? .. They did on a local park near me, on the ramps etc.

I don't like that stuff "w0z ere '07 wiv mi krew" "chani iz a les"

..lol. But the art is pretty cool

Banksy is one of my idols. But it can only be art in that sense.

I think it is art when i was in holland there was some stunning graffiti on some walls.
