Description
Graffiti can be found everywhere, from cities to suburbs with debates on whether graffiti is art, communication, personal expression or vandalism.
The question has been around longer than man. Well, maybe not.
Was the early cave drawings graffiti or a record of man's journey.
The add old question:
Another man's graffiti is another man's art.
Is tagging a wall, sign, fence, or any surface with tagging art, or a graffiti mural by taggers to express themselves?
Graffiti tagging is also used by gangs to mark their territory. It's not like a dog who can lift up their leg and pee leaving a scent for his fellow fur buddies.
The add old question:
Another man's graffiti is another man's art.
I will not give my opinion on this issue plaguing cities, and man.

Very interesting! Having just returned from Spain and Portugal, I was surprised to see so much graffiti in both countries. Much more so than what I am used to seeing in the U.S. Most of it, I would give the edge to it being art more so than anything else. I write a blog and graffiti is going to be an upcoming post.

My take is it depends upon a host of varying applications and environments. It runs the gamut from ART to defacement; creativity to stupidity. “…Rael, Imperial Aerosol Kid, hides his gun, he’s forgotten what he did, and the lamb, lies down, on Broadway.” Genesis: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
