Graffiti - Art or Vandalism?

These were taken in a washroom with my HTC G1 (before I got my Desire) using the Camera 360 App.

It was done with non-permanent ink on Halloween. Is this art or is it just the destruction of property?

By the way, right in front of that stall was the washroom mirror, and when you looked into the mirror the word "REDRUM" spelled "MURDER". I believe this is from a movie.

  6. It's freedom of expression that might infringe of other people's right. Personally I enjoy graffiti, then again I don't have to fit the bill to have the walls repainted

  11. I love the pictures man. I think graffiti is artwork. Always. But when it comes down to it, there are certainly places that graffiti shouldn't go.

  12. For those interested this was actually done with kid's paint markers that wipe cleanly off with a wet paper towel.

    However, time and time again the janitors here use paint thinner, which results in a big mess with the inks smudging and actually staying permanently on.. facepalm :(
