The walkway under the parkway to Norton College used to be pretty bad.

But is graffiti always necessarily "bad"? What about Basquiat? Perhaps a more open mind would mean a better study. :)

I think there is a difference between writing 'someone woz 'ere' and art on the wall?

Yeah i agree, some of the stuff on the sides of train lines on the london overground system are really highly skilled, but theres always the usual 'tagging' scum. Wow that was harsh!

Which is why I followed it with question marks, because I don't fully know what you're on about.

 

In my opinion, any graffiti is bad, whether it is "artistic" or just tagging. It looks unsightly, and should be more severely punished and cleaned up more promptly.

"Graffiti" : A drawing or inscription made on a wall or other surface, usually so as to be seen by the public."

 

Right. Let's get rid of all those cave paintings. What were those cavemen thinking?
