Here's an episode of This American Life done by the National Public Radio entitled Cat & Mouse documenting the lives of New York writers such as Earsnot and the NYPD vandal squad. It gives a pretty good look into the graffiti culture from both sides of the fence. At one point in the video they mention an artist named Lee and display a piece he did of a daffy duck like character with the words "Graffiti is an art and if art is a crime let god forgive all" which can describe the mindset of most street artists throughout the world. So appreciate the art around you, fight this gray scale society , and if you suck at graffiti stay off our walls.
