graffiti vandalism

In my personal opinion, graffiti is a crime. But just because I think its a crime doesn't mean I believe its bad. To me, graffiti can be beautiful, and also ugly. People who just spray bad language or rediculous material give graffiti a whole worse name than it actually is. See, people who create an artwork and spend time in making it look amazing isnt a bad thing. I think of it as decorating haha. But the problem is, when someone picks up a can and sprays a beautiful piece, others think they can do the same. When really they shouldn't be near a spray can because they just give graffiti a bad name. Graffiti is an artform, and although many others have frowned upon it and labeled it as a crime, I believe it creates an escape for me from reality. Its what calms me down.
