Talented Graffiti Artists Using Public Canvases For Artwork

I think that graffiti itself is a wonderful artwork created by some very talented individuals. I myself have bought some Banksy prints for the walls of my home.
I think graffiti gets a bad name simply because the method in which a lot of pieces are carried out. Many times, gangsters and punks will steal spray paint from local stores and go around town marking their areas on public property. This is wrong and I think it should be stopped. However, there are a large number of people who truly indulge in graffiti for the artistic aspect and I certainly enjoy it. I think it is very constructive for kids and teens especially to let their imaginations and creativity flow through such a beautiful medium. Perhaps in the future, graffiti artists will be hired to beautify dilapidated cities such as Detroit. By making old buildings and run down houses stand out, they are helping their city grow culturally. I also love going to the train yard and photographing the hoppers painted with graffiti from cities around the U.S. It really is like a trip around the country.
