About Graffiti

Defacing property without the owner's consent is considered to be vandalism, which is punishable by U.S. law. Sometimes graffiti is used to display social and political issues but more often than not it is merely vandalism. Graffiti is also used to mark gang territories in urban areas and is often associated with underground hip hop music and b-boying. One of the most world renowned graffitists or 'street artist' is the London, England based Banksy who mainly paints political satire on streetside walls and buildings.
