    Graffiti on private personal property is a no-no.
    On anything public, or corporate - bust it out.
    I love graf, even tags, even the 'bad; stuff - It looks alive to me, like another reality superimposed onto the canvas of the rest of the world - honestly it speaks to me and nourishes me in a way that those who do it and I have a beautiful jagged, desperate, naughty shared understanding of. I wouldn't have opened a photoshop, or picked up a pen and started trying to say and mean something with lines and shapes were it not for graffiti with all of it's multi-layered message, meanings, art and politics. It is something truly more alive and the sum of it's parts - its the most vital, energetic and honest window on the soul of a city and I think anywhere urban without it looks dead and lost.
