How is graffiti looked upon in your country /int/?

Literally fucking trash covering our walls
If you're going to paint something for everyone to see at least make sure it doesn't looks like shit
>>
Our leftist media tries to push it as art kek

Not even regular art, they talk about is as if it were on par with Renaissance works.

In the United States it really depends on where you are. In certain culture hubs like New York, Chicago, LA, Seattle, and Portland (good) graffiti is celebrated, though still illegal. The modern graffiti movement started in the Bronx and Brooklyn in the 70s. So the east coast is graffiti ground zero and highly celebrated there.

I suppose it's looked upon just like everywhere else. Most people hate it and I can relate because most of it really is shit. It's getting better though. Lots of new school kids starting to put more thought into a piece and some old dogs are getting payed by cities to do large murals on public objects.

I always just stock to drain spots and easy stuff like that.

I hate dealing with police, a lot of people enjoy being chased but not me...

When I was a teenager I used to paint it around the neighbour hood, looking back at that I was kind of fucked..

Graffiti should be on the trains and abandoned buildings, not the suburbs.

it depends where you live.
in our city we had this old autistic dude who was well known for painting graffiti. in total he spend more than 8 years in prison for illegal graffiti. at the age of 64 he was hit by a train while doing tags. his death was reported in every newspaper. bild, spiegel...

pic related. this is how his pieces looked like. he was painting in the craziest spots. long ass pictures, just colors and patterns. he went on train lines at night and cut off trees and bushes that were covering up good walls so other graffiti writers could paint them.

Haha, that's cool :DD

The first guy who started doing graffiti here around ~1980 was actually mentally ill. His graffiti was about the treatment of illnesses and his messages to "humankind" became progressively paranoid and obscure to the point of losing all literal meaning. He was caught for stealing paint and committed suicide.

>Haiguste ravi. Kontrollitud. 1. Üksindus – magamistuba vaikuse, pimeduse, raadioga 2. Selts – elukoht kellegi juures 3. Priisöökla. Nendes tingimustes teatud biol. ajal avastab inimene “tee” tervisele. Au ja rikkus sellele kes avaldab selle tõe ajalehtedes.
>Treatment of illnesses. Checked. 1. Loneliness - bedroom of silence, darkness, with radio 2. Company - living space at someone 3. Free diner. These circumstances at certain biol. time human discovers "road" to health. Honour and wealth to who publishes this truth in newspapers.

The public are shit cunts though....

They listen to shit music, shit art, shit films and shit things in general.

The public are starting to accept graffiti and thats why we have so much hipster trash art in melbourne lane ways these days..

However public acceptance gives you lighter sentences in court and more opportunities to paint legally and even get paid to paint.

Kind of sucks how we can't have it both ways.
