exigeracer, you say that your art would be pleasant for everyone, but I'm sure that the person who spraypaints "Heroin loves Willow" all over the University District feels the same way.
This is where I would draw the line between good graffiti and bad graffiti, which is stubjective and a matter of opinion.
Then you admit it's wrong, yet you still do it. Like I said, you can find legal way's of doing it, if you want to. It takes a bit more effort than just going out with a spray can though.
As odd as it is sounding, that is exactly the truth. It's not that I am too lazy to find legal ways to do it, in fact I am in the midst of writing letters to the city hall of my municipaility to start up a legal wall preferably close to my home. The idea sprung up a couple months ago when I realised how stressful illegal graffiti is. I'm talking extreme stress, nothing I have ever had to deal with in my entire life, the kind of stress that makes you sick and depressed the next day. I'll also be starting a petition presenting it as a way of taking graffiti off of private property and onto public property for permanent exhibition.
Well here's an idea, rather than you doing something illegal why don't you let the other guy do it instead, that way no one get's pissed at you.
I'm not going to quit because people don't like me. I live my life for myself and not for others. I do what makes me happy and I'm not going to get wound up because people think what I do is different or wrong.

Heres a question, exigeracer does every wall (canvas) in your house and all your property have your art on it? (not posted on the wall but actual painted)
I don't understand your question. If I paint someone else's house with my work, would I consider it all to be art? Visual art is visual. I don't know if it is the going definition, but I see art as being solely a visual experience. I look at something and consider it beautiful, regardless of what it's on or how it came about. I don't care how it was done, if it looks nice, it is art. The way it was done should be considered, but it is purely a visual things.

[fancy colours]Out of interest, have you ever watched The Thomas Crowne Affair, Gone in Sixty Seconds, The Italian Job or Ocean's Eleven?[/colours]
I have seen all of them. I do not knowif that's how things work in real life or not, but it still doesn't change my opinion.

I don't see a point in discussing any of this anymore, we aren't getting anywhere with it, everything has been touched upon. Mine and L4S's last few posts have been saying the same things over and over again.
Like I said, please don't judge me or get mad at me or look at me different because of what I think or said here. I'm just the only person who can contribute with first-hand experiences with graffiti and decided to speak up about the original topic.
