opinions on graffiti? im curious what artists think of it. i personally admire the flow and lettering, even in small tags
Most of the grafitti I see out in the wild is pretty lame, low effort stuff. It's pretty rare to see anything worthwhile, sadly.It's also mostly on neglected surfaces/vehicles so it's usually still an improvement on rusting garbage.
>>7865734I like it when it's more than just a scribbled scrawl, and comes closer to something one would consider art - even if it's just text. However, that's the rarity, and the vast majority looks hideous and makes a place feel less aesthetically nice than if there'd been no graffiti at all.I'm also thoroughly against graffiti being done on anything that could be considered private, or disruptive to another person. Graffiti on the side wall of a business = okay!Graffiti on the front of a business that needs to be immediately cleaned off = not okay!Graffiti on someone's car or home = I hope that vandal dies!Oh, and don't get me started on political graffiti, which is unwitty preachy crap. You're not Banksy, and even if you were, the vast majority of Banksy's stuff is eye roll worthy.
