Shot these from the train coming back from the Bronx. What was once just defacement has become, at least in the eyes of some, art. I think the guilty should have to remove it all, with toothbrushes, in the heat of the day in August. But, that's just me.

IF that is illegal there then my question is how does the police not catch them? I mean come on...they would need scaffolding and lights if done at night...

Don't know. Saw all that from the subway train and just shot it. I'd never seen such a sight before.

This doesn't look like your average tagging to me. This looks a little more like planned painting.

Yeah I agree..this was planed and I would thing the building owner allowed it.

I agree, some people call what we see in your pictures art. Los Angeles encourages art of this type in some areas...

There is a British Grafitti artist who goes by the name of Banksy who has become very famous.. his "work" actually increases the value of the buildings he has painted on by thousands

I guess the eye is in the beauty of the beholder as they say. In each individual 'tag' there may be some artistic abilities. However, as a whole, I see urban decay. I would not want to live near there or own property there. To each his own...
