Response to Katy's post on graffiti.

"I don't think all types of graffiti fall into one category. You've got the irrelevant scribble you see sprayed on bus stops and under bridges ... but then there is graffiti that looks more like expressive art."

I do agree, random scribbles of graffiti are completely unnecessary, not to mention not very nice to look at. I once went to the pyramids and there were even people's names scribbled in there. I think thats completely disrespectful.

But then some graffiti, like the work of Banksy, is more like art. The pieces you see are incredible and look amazing. But does the beauty of the picture make up for the act?
