    Graffiti is the best way for creative artists to express how they feel and express visions beyond the capacity of words. I love graff art in the aspects of murals or bombing. I curently spray 3-D wildstyle... something unique i created with cartoons cant forget them. Graffiti is definately not vandalism and should be considered art. if picasso painted a picture on the side of a building would it be vandalism? i'd say it was graffiti
