I’ve talked about street art in my previous blog. Now I want to say some words about graffiti.

I have to say that it is illegal. It’s a bad thing in many countries (if not all of them) and getting cought at painting always forces you to cover the cost. Sometimes it puts you up in jail, mainly in America but still, it’s just a painting. Actually graffiti is not only making big letters and some background. It’s also about tagging. Tags are treated even more as vandalism than making big pieces. They are simply names or slogans written on (if possible) on everything you can. The whole idea of drawing on walls comes from tagging. When I say it comes from it I mean it. First sight of graffiti was when soldiers of world war two painted ‘Kilroy was here’. Then it transformed to commonly seen ‘I love Jane’ and not long after that Into requiring skill pieces of art. It all happened, in America, to be more specific – New York. Most respected and popular places to draw are suburban and long-distance trains.
