Re: grafitti in school....legal style

Good job. Do you have a higher resolution picture?

I think graffiti is great. It's a more... liberal, think-outside-the-box type of artwork. Why limit yourself to a 8.5x11 piece of white paper, when you can have a huge wall... with different textures and angles. Associating graffiti artists with gangs is also wrong. If gangs started using oil pants to communicate, does that make Van Gogh a gang member?

As far as graffiti causing gangs/shootings, that's just pure FUD. Correlation does not equal causation. If graffiti wasn't available it would just be some other medium.

Didn't they say that about jazz, rock and roll, hip hop, rap, etc. etc?

Also, I don't believe bringing up his user title was truly necessary. This could be discussed in a PM. Please don't attempt to bring attention away from the discussion at hand.
