It is not vandalism to write graffiti on something you own, especially something small and mobile! Writing graffiti-style art on paper or a skateboard can be an alternative to writing on someone else's building.

juliejohnsongold---- well some people appreciate graffiti...graffiti tends to show the reality of our society more than most things, since there is no bias in art. to be honest i dont really feel bad for the people rich enough to own buildings like those downtown in my city, who have to deal with people that graffiti on them. Graffiti is a statement...id say putting up urban art on a cathedral is a pretty bold statement...props to that

The three parts of Hip Hop culture are defined as Rap music, Hip Hop Dance and Grafitti. Encouraging grafitti of any kind encourages grafitti on buildings and private property..the young man mentioned buildings. I've been in Europe and seen grafitti on cathedrals, shrines scenic locations and historic buildings. It is vandalism, pure and simple. Zukiman
