graffiti is art but art has its place. that place is in galleries not on public buildings/trains.

Then please, enlighten us &amp; explain the difference. Do you have permits to put your artwork in the locations you choose? Or at least the consent of the owners? The railroad cars do in fact belong to someone too. Alot of companies use the sides if them to advertise their products

i explained the difference other artist explained and for your information, we dont do houses. i dont do rail cars unless its blank. and also, i dont give a da** about what you say theres nothing i have to prove to you, cause theres haters n lovers out in the world, and theres no point of talking to any hater, which right now is you so get off my topic forum.

I, WE Artists dont need your drama or your &quot;haters&quot;

Simply because I don't agree with your putting your &quot;graf&quot; up where you haven't gotten permission, doesn't mean I don't appreciate the quality of the work. I'm trying to understand why it's so important to you for your name to be unknown, &amp; your work to be in places you haven't gotten permission to put it. Doesn't it frustrate you when the owners paint it over? By all appearances a lot of thought &amp; planning go into the work I've seen. SO why put it where it will be destroyed?<br><br>Post edited by: Jennifer, at: 2007/02/14 15:36

have you seen it at the parks in tracy? i have. i've also seen it on railroad cars mainly as well as street signs in southern california.
why get so defensive if you're not doing anything wrong?
i don't think that you understand that the real difference between graffiti and art is the location as i pointed out to you but you ignored. if you can't have an intelligent conversation than don't open yourself up to one.
i'm not hating either i did some graffiti art in high school but it's not really my style.
one of my good friends actually sells his pieces in galleries. why not try this approach and keep your art and your image positive and permanent?
