“Despite what they say graffiti is not the lowest form of art. Although you might have to creep about at night and lie to your mum it’s actually one of the more honest art forms available. There is no elitism of hype, it exhibits on the best walls a town has to offer and nobody is put off by the prices of admissions.” – Banksy

You r awesome. Great photos
Graffiti can be stunning – I’m not talking about the tags scrawled like vandalism, but the walls of street art that take time and effort to create. It can make the dullest surroundings bright and cheery and, provided it is not causing any harm or offence, then it should be celebrated! 🙂
Couldn’t agree more! Thats why I am doing this series to celebrate the unknown artists and the streets they work upon
Excellent! 🙂
Great series James, I hunted down space invaders in Newcastle last year:
