               Why Graffiti can be Good

                               The rush of adrenalin is pumping through your veins, the last ‘Tag’ you done still wet and is shining in the moon light, the sirens are sounding and the lights are flashing, you are gasping for air your lungs are burning your legs are aching plus you still don’t know weather or not you are going to get away with it or get busted, you head for an old abandoned warehouse, and lay low for awhile just until the police are gone then you race home open and slam the door behind you run up steers and close the door hop on you bed and fall asleep.

Graffiti has been around for thousands of years the earliest ever documented graffiti was in ancient Rome and were in letters and symbols. Graffiti is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti has been associated with gangs and if you do graffiti you are in a gang or an unsafe area, well in some cases it is true, but most of the time it is people who want to be noticed, and some times when you are good enough you could be famous.

Which leads me to my next point there is one famous graffiti artist I am going to name he is very famous in the United Kingdom his name is ‘Banksey’ he has done some very famous graffiti art all around the world, this information was found on a documentary called ‘Exit through the gift shop’.

In some cities and towns in the United Kingdom and America they have areas in some parks which people can do graffiti freely on there boards the public are aloud to look and watch them do there master pieces.

These are just some of my thoughts about and towards graffiti; I think it is a good thing only when it is legal, a as I said two or three times it is because it is an expression towards art.
