Is it art?
In my opinion art is something aesthetically pleasing made based on your own personal feeling or experiences. So, yes, it is art. The type of of material that you use to make or make it upon has nothing to do with whether or not it is art. Personally, I like to see some skill involved in art, which this particular type of art has, thats why I don't consider myself an artist or anything I have created art.

Stallion, besides having a witty screen name, you bring up an interesting point about marking territory--also known as a tag, or tagging. Once again, when I see an artistic tag, it makes me think about the artist and his/her crew. Is he/she in a gang, or just a graffiti artist who likes to take chances? Does marking territory have to be gang related, and do we all, in some way or another, have to mark our territory? Some cities (like Chicago) are actually hiring graffiti artists to paint buildings in an attempt to beautify them. What do you think about that?
