What's your take on graffiti, tags and such?

Been in love with graffiti since a very young age, now'a days i don't paint much myself anymore but I lovebombing... the action of totally covering anarea in tags and so called throw ups (mostly hollow, larger letters)... I do it sometimes myself (not that frequently anymore tho). Love to see when others been very active. After a while you're almost able to read into the persons feelings, degree of alcohol in the body (or other drugs, or sober) and other patterns.

I know not everyone thinks very highly of this, what's your take on it? Are there any other writers around here?

I hate 99% of stupid street art tho, putting up stich works around lamp posts and stuff... yawn.

I honestly think it's cool to a certain degree

Eh, when its all over the place, probably not, but I like the sweet designs that come from it

Totally understnad you, I think the more you get deep into a subject you become more interested in parts that are not obvious from the start.

I mean, i can appreciate wild style pieces but they are quite... well, if done on a train you know the one who did it got mad skills because of time limits etc but to stand at an open/free wall for hours to get something extremely right... it looses something, imho.

My personal take on it is most who graffiti are extremely talented and could put said talents to something not as destructive to property...

graffiti pretty me look neuron activated

Varied ammount of comments and thoughts, that's good. It's not for everyone and for sure is a destructive behaviour in most eyes, even mine.

I find it sad that advertising is allowed everywhere but even legal walls for graffiti writers get throrn down... how can paint be such a focal point for anger but a big highway sign telling you to buy THIS otherwise THAT will happen... this and that can be anything ofc. Advertising often either frighten people into buying something or invite you to their cult... pay for play i guess.

I dont mind them at all. I like them. They look cool

it's an integral part of street culture. without it we wouldn't have a lot of streetwear brands
