Graffiti Creators

Graffiti is a form of art that is used to express the artist’s feeling and emotions, whether that be of some kind of social discontent or otherwise, serious or wrapped in a sense of humor or creative design.

Just like pouring out your feelings in a diary.

Although many people see this form of expression as a nuisance and also see it as vandalism, it is hard to not be interested in it’s unique style and free expression.

Graffiti is a social expression, a voice of the community, of our youth and is part of the urban world around us.

It is generally harmless, vibrant and creative and brightens up walls and buildings.

There are many different styles but the two most common types are tagging and hip hop graffiti.

Different styles of work fall into different categories.

Hip hop graffiti pieces are usually very large and are created using aerosol spray paints. They usually are a complex mix of letters or a cartoon. Hip hop graffiti usually takes longer to achieve than simple graffiti characters as it takes a lot of planning and designing.

Tagging graffiti using graffiti letters is used as a means to ‘mark territory’. This type of  is used as a way to mark their presence ‘so and so was here’. Some of it is racially motivated or sometimes even politically motivated.

Commercial Graffiti is seen as a big problem. This involves private organisations paying graff artists to spray paint advertising logos on walkways and buildings so that they can promote their product. This is a very illegal form of advertising.

Graffiti is amazing and its a great way to expression yourself through colours and pictures. It can mean everything to an artist so they use it as means of expressing their feelings if they have a lot kept in. It is a stress relief and it is fun painting a wall. People express their feelings by writing them down, speaking to someone but others choose words in fierce, vibrant colours, that come across as a message in a piece of art.
