"Graffiti is not the lowest form of art. Despite having to creep about at night and lie to your mom, it's actually the most HONEST art form available. There's no elitism or hype, it is exhibited on some of the best walls a town has to offer, and nobody is put off by the price of admission.
A wall has always been the best place to publish your work.
The people that run our cities don't understand graffiti because they think that nothing has the right to exist unless it makes a profit. But if you just value money, then your opinion is worthless.
They say Graffiti frightens people and is symbolic of decline in society, but graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people; politicians, advertising executives, and graffiti writers.
The people who truly deface our neighborhoods are the companies that scrawl their giant slogans across buildings and busses, trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff. They expect to be able to shout their message in your face from every available surface without you ever being able to answer back. Well, they started the fight and a wall is the weapon of choice to hit them back with.
Some people become COPS to try and make the world a better place. Some people become "vandals" because they want to make the world a better looking place"
