Comment on Karen's blog 6th April.I agree with Karen that some of the graffiti you see these days are amazing pieces of art. For a lot of youngsters doing the graffiti, this is their only way of showing their talent. Yet, to others they do it wherever they want just to get attention - they think they are being 'bad' and 'cool'. This is especially true of those who deface public property, they are not creating art, they are simply vandalising. In these cases you find that it is mostly mindless crap scrawled over bus shelters, buses, trains etc. It is these kind of so called 'artists' who give the term graffiti a bad name. It is a shame because their are people out there who truely do have talent, it would be good to maybe see the government do some kind of scheme to channel this talent into something useful. In some areas it would be nice to see some genuine art on walls instead of filth and dirt.
