If you vandalized a graffiti, is it a crime?

i could spend hours debating this but i won't. I'll just say that art, design, and graffiti have all jumped in bed together. I dont care if you love it or hate it but get used to it. It sure as hell isn't going anywhere.

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.- *more alive THAN the sum of its parts. sry.mikotondria3

Oh wow.
I was watching channel 10 here in Sydney and a news preview came on, a face on the screen caught my attention and turns out one of those guys was in my year at school - haha.
Would definitely not label him "intelligent" as such.

When I bought a house my perspective on this changed. If I catch someone making "art" on the side of my house I will make art in the shape of foot prints all over their ass.

I really don't understand the comparison with billboards. That's the advertisers space. They own it.
You too can buy one and stick your tag on it all you want.
It's not a valid retort at all.

Hail Banksy, artful dodger.
The stencil is with you.
Blessed are these 6 young men,
and blessed is the fruit of their illegal activities,
Jesus fucking christ!.
Holy Banksy, Father of Graffiti,
pray for these 6,
now and when they get released for good behaviour.
Amen.
