From Walls to Windows...

Graffiti has been considered a public nuisance since the day the first person scribbled something on a park bench.  What people don't realize is that, true graffiti artist look at some of the graffiti thats currently out there and shake their heads too.  Graffiti is more than just scribbling something on a wall or bench.

Here are some examples of some of my favorite artists.

As graffiti grows, so do its artists.  A lot of former graffiti artists are making their way into business through clothing lines, live painting, etc.  Mark Ecko is a former graffiti artist and is now CEO of one of the major urban clothing lines.  Locally, former graffiti artists are starting to make their way into the mainstream.  Here is a couple pictures of murals created by former or current artists.
