	Art:21 . Forum: Is Graffiti Art? \| PBS
		I believe that graffiti is an art for street gangs wh go out to paint their name to be recognized.How can it not be an art is my question anyone that puts pen to paper is making art this is just the same but paint to wall or fence or door.
		Graffiti to me is and always will be a form of art.I am proud to say that I am an artist of this type of art.Through my eyes, Graffiti is very special and unique.When ever I draw,I never wonder that what I do is a bad influence in my community.For me it's the contrary.
		Graffiti is most definately art in my opinion i mean writers put there life on the line by tryin to get up i mean some people would wrather call the police and have them chase you than to realize your passion for what you do.

	graffiti - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		Graffiti artists would sign their "tags" for the sake of doing so and sometimes to increase their reputation and prestige as a "writer" or a graffiti artist.
		Graffiti is subject to different societal pressures from popularly-recognized art forms, since graffiti appears on walls, freeways, buildings, trains or any accessible surfaces that are not owned by the person who applies the graffiti.
		The developments of graffiti art which took place in art galleries and colleges as well as "on the street" or "underground", contributed to the resurfacing in the 1990s of a far more overtly politicized art form in the subvertising, culture jamming or tactical media movements.

	Graffiti
		Graffiti is a type of deliberately inscribed marking made by humans on surfaces, both private and public.
		Those who distinguish between tagging and graffiti generally accept tagging as gang-motivated or meant as vandalism (illegal) or viewed as too vulgar or controversial to have public value, while they can view graffiti as creative expression, whether charged with political meaning or not.
		One can view graffiti as a 'quality of life' issue, and many people suggest that the presence of graffiti contributes to a general sense of squalor and a heightened fear of crime.

	Graffiti Q & A
		Most artists do not spend enough time around paint for prolonged periods of time for this to really be a problem, but in situations where it is, most that I know wear masks (which can be purchased at most any hardware store).
		It is important to note that a lot of artists work indoors (either in their basements or inside abandoned buildings), but since it is unseen it is also unknown.
		Kairos: In general, no. Stencils in graffiti art are analogous to tracing paper in pad+pen art, that is, if the artist is not good enough to make it on his own then he should practice some more before trying to impress.

	M/C Journal: "Being in the Shadow of Hollywood"
		In a society where culture and capital are the dual poles which determine one’s social standing, the pursuit of notoriety is not simply a measure of masculinity – hijacking images is a way to assert one’s agency in spite of the diminished value of unskilled labor and the collective fear of underclass masculinities.
		Notably, Chaka was seen by those in the graffiti community as an everyman, who was responsible for two significant cultural achievements: he “open[ed] up the style of the New York-based tags and creat[ed] the phenomenon of the individual tagger” (Phillips 320).
		Far from the naïve and mean-spirited equations between graffiti writing and canine scent-marking as a primitive drive to mark territorial boundaries with undesirable substances (writers:paint::dogs:piss), Chaka’s all-city message is not so much a practice of creating exclusionary spaces as it is an assertion of one’s identity in a particular space.

		This provocative examination of urban graffiti culture's heyday suggests that "writing could have been promoted as a homegrown public art movement," but instead it was relegated, by authorities and much of the media, as vandalism.
		Austin adopts the perspective of those outside the power structure, using the graffiti artists' own writings, media accounts of the issue, and interviews to explore this topic.
		In this perspective, the graffiti writers' activities contribute not only to their own identity but also to the shared experience of city life.

		He loved Vulcans work from New York and he was especially obssesed with Michael Basquate and Keith Harring- I mean no disrespect to them, but their fame as real graffiti artists I don't agree with, since they did not do graffiti art in the hip-hop sense-with wildstyles or graff oriented charachters.
		Once again, put simply, they were not graffiti artists!
		Not all writers are genuine ghetto-spawned artists-many have these goals of commercial success wanting to use graffiti as a launch point.
