Define This..

Today I overheard a conversation about whether graffiti should be considered art or simple vandalism turned legal... 
The dictionary defines the word Graffiti as "writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in public" 
Personally, I believe graffiti to be just another outlet for a creative mind to express itself, just like all other forms of art. Though it may be easily covered with a simple coat of paint and not cherished in a historical art museum, many still see graffiti as an unusual and valuable form of art. 
What do you think?



Here are a few images of graffiti during Art Basel weekend.
