| | | It's often said that graffiti communities have their own ethics, just like we do. The problem is, for every artist who won't tag a residential property, or tag over others' art, there are 10 who will, and you can guess which one is going to get more street cred going forward. A lot of people are quick to say they like some types of graffiti, but not others. The problem is graffiti begets graffiti. If you put up an interesting mural or whatever, it will usually soon be joined by other shittier stuff. In one case I know, a graffiti artist made an interesting wheatpaste on the face of a historic building (with permission); he also used every available space inside the building to practice his tag. Shortly after, others came there and did shittier graffiti on the exterior of the building. Years passed and the wheatpaste disappeared, while the other graffiti did not. And everyone, even the more ethical graffiti artists, seems to recognise that putting paint or whatever other material on a surface without permission is inherently a hostile act to whatever structure it's on. Sometimes that's not a bad thing, and I wish there were more graffiti artists punching up, and going after the powerful, rather than punching down, and hitting the low-hanging fruit of derelict buildings.
