Graffiti



Graffiti. What is graffiti? It is basically writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place. It is a crime, because it is done without permission from the owners. But in many countries many different styles of graffiti have evolved. Nowadays graffiti ranges from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. Honestly speaking graffiti is one of the rapidly spreading and evolving form of ART. The history of graffiti is quite controversial, it has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to ancient roman and greek civilizations. In those days graffiti was done on walls as advertisements, whether positive or negative it is difficult to say. Noww.. Coming back to the modern world, and leaving its negativities behind, about it being illegal, graffiti styles are very unique and beautiful. In my opinion if this form of art is given a legal platform, it will become quite successful.. I have been trying out various of its fonts (on paper though, am not intending to doing something illegal)... here I've shared some of them..
