Graffiti Artist?

[marki24]

Generalizing Graffiti with crime has not been proven. I have done graffiti in the past. I have done murals for stores and did a mural for 911. I had friends that did graffiti too. Most of them work constraction now and they dont associate with graffiti at all now and i have a partner in crime (Graffiti crime i mean) that is an CEO of his one company. it all depends some grow out of it and some stay with. You really dont see a 30 something old person tagging. Its a phase that most people go through. And Tony i think you are going extreme with your statements and i think you watched too much tv. Let me guess you probably saw "the Warriors" and think that. It does happen but thats in the extreme levels. And i really dont see how crime is associated with graffiti. Have you ever thought about this..... Most of the times you will see lots of graffiti in poor neighborhoods. Right? And in rich neighborhoods you will most likely not see it or very little. Right? Did you very bother to consider the fact that in rich neighborhoods if you tag most likely it will be gone the next day and in poor neighborhoods it stays on for months. Why? Neighborhood doesnt have money do deal with a cleanup crew.

There are still a few degenerates that are tagging in their late 30's. lol. Im sure you know of JA. I saw some new tags on the Van Wyck a few months ago. But I guess his case is an exception since his dad is a movie producer and he has $$$. A guy from the Bronx started tagging around the city by the name of BESTER.

One thing that I can say for sure about grafitti is that it does not discriminate. Had it not been for grafitti I probably would have had to wait until I got to college to meet the diversity of people that I met while tagging. Black, white, hispanic, asian, male, female, poor, middle class, wealthy, etc...you name it. We all shared one common denominator that bridged the racial and sex divide.

so clearly you admit that ppl dont want to see it, it is just a matter being able to afford to remove it.
do you see nothing wrong with vandalising private property forcing people to spend their hard earned money cleaning up?
