Hi, my name is Philip.
I grew up with graffiti, here's the thing I started art when I was about 5, by the age of 10 I started sketching and by the age of 11 I started graffiti,........................ and still doing art and graff.

You have 3 types of graffiti artists:

1- Writers who really are in to graffiti, who maybe do some illegal stuff but only on old buildings or mostly on authorized buildings, people who demand it... And nowadays I would call it spray can art, or fine photorealistic graffiti, where you will not see as much names on a wall... just graphics and ART

2- Vandals, members of gangs like MS13 ones who just mark their turf or graffiti artists who want their name to be out there and sometimes people who just have money to bail out.

3- "False" graffiti writers: Artists who are great in fine arts and try out graffiti but don't have the feeling and *thing* to be a graffiti artist.

All 3 are ART related they are not, NOT ART... its like a carpenter its ART not wood carver, or musician its artistic

IT IS DEFINITELY A GOOD THING ( besides vandalism )
But hey vandals can see it as art in their eyes, like I did a photorealistic mocking bird on a wall,... or when you want people to know things like how many people die from tobacco each year you have Graffiti artists / vinylists who stick and spray Facts about tobacco.
it is ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
