Like I said, no shortage of interesting graffiti. Maybe I should go over and start a Parisian Graffiti walking tour?
Tell me, do you find graffiti a nuisance? Attractive? Interesting? Scary? I found most of the art to be innocent and interesting in Paris. There was relatively little that was obscene or gang related. So, for the most part I enjoyed it unless it was over top something I felt had a lot of history that was ruined. In many ways it provided interest to areas that were relatively uninteresting. In other places, it seemed to just be everywhere and if I lived there I imagine I would get tired of it. What do you think?

I am so impressed by the graffiti! The boy revealing a rainbow, what a great statement on an otherwise blank wall. Maybe if I saw more of the context of the setting I would see that the art is out of place. But, compared to gang tagging I seen on every wall, sign, light post, fence, or building, I would take Parisian graffiti any day.

It was certainly an interesting site everywhere I walked in an otherwise spectacular city. It added a really fun component I wasn’t expecting.

It’s an interesting subject that gives a sense of place and, when I think of New York in the seventies, time. New perspectives, the joy of traveling.

I don’t like graffiti but I would call your pictures street art which can be good. My least favourite graffiti is love locks on bridges and I have always wondered why bad language graffiti wherever you are is almost always in English. Perhaps we just have the best swear words?

Maybe so. Sad that we can take credit for that one. Normally it is an honor to have people speak English throughout the world but not in that case. 😉 I am on the fence about the lovelocks. I suppose like anything else it got carried away. What started as a sweet sentiment turned in to something that can be damaging and expensive to rectify.

The “Paris, Paris, Paris” piece is really powerful. Hard to think of it as graffiti. Maybe we need a new definition or name for the work that is so obviously up from tagging. –Curt

I suppose people are calling it street art which it most certainly is. However, I would argue it is street art when it is sanctioned by the property owner. When it is not allowed by the property owner it is probably graffiti no matter how good the work is, right? Interesting question I suppose.

Graffiti with an element of class?

Some more great graffiti and street art- thanks for sharing it! You asked how we find graffiti. For me, graffiti is interesting, challenging, fun, inspiring, beautiful, and in some cases disturbing. I love its variety and creativity. I look for it all over New York City, and it’s always a treat to see posts like this featuring street art from other parts of the world.

Street Art is fascinating. There is plenty of Street Art to be found in Brooklyn.
