I agree. I personally love graffiti, more on trains though. I know most people hate it and that's cool as well...
| yes sir. Different strokes for different folks. While I'm not personally a writer I follow graff a little closer than the average person and keep an eye out for the artists that stay up in my area. I love it as an art and having a freighter run very close to my house doesn't help either. If I ran in to artists inside I'd be asking for a tutorial. LOL Guys work in the OP is pretty tight. Check out "stomp down killaz" on youtube, them canadians throw up some wicked work. Sofles has a couple pretty badass timelapses up there too. Graff's not for everyone but those that "get it"… get it. Very much like exploring.

| | | I don't mind too much. Graffiti was what actually led me to urbex. A year and a half back, I took an interest in the nooks and cranies of cities- the alleys and the underside of bridges. Naturally, this was where graffiti could be found, so I got interested in it. Not MAKING it, mind you, but seeing it. I would look for it, memorize where it was, and try to imagine what it was saying. I found all sorts of places, too- tagger hangouts, hobo camps, homeless gathering places, etc. About nine months ago I was looking into graffiti art (Blanksky, Detroit, etc) when I stumbled across an urbex website. I looked around for more urbex information, and discovered that this was what I was looking for. Two weeks later, I went on my first abandonment exploration. What I was really looking for was the underside of the city, the desanitized and raw parts- the paint, the decay, the stuff that you never see unless you look for it. It's a whole new world, and that's what I was looking for- something new to explore.

| | | I know it's a matter of taste but when I see the piece in the first post I don't see any art! I see almost unreadable scribblings fucking up a nice wall. I know it takes skill but it's just not pleasing to the eye for me. It depends on the place too, when it's a factory or something boring there's often not much damage done but I've seen similar pieces on the walls of 100 year old churches that otherwise would've been perfect. That really makes me sad. In Belgium there is a boring and trashed school where two guys make beautiful art. That's the only way I like graffiti: See http://www.g2photo...affiti-school.html or http://jalbum.net/.../1328518/group/259
