    1980s East Village. NYC. It was this type of graffiti and its artists that were seen as obscene and offensive. The complaints were that it dragged the city down. When Rudi Giuliani took over as mayor in NY mid eighties it was spray artists that were his first target. Handing out hefty prison terms to anyone caught. Crazy as the place was already a * hole.

    Banksy’s mural before Christmas was an early gift for Port Tolbot man Ian Lewis. It had been put under watchful eye by fencing and security over Christmas to save it from vandals. This was paid by actor Michael Sheen who hails from the area. Now Mr Lewis has complained that he is struggling to cope with the amount of tourists that visit daily. Sometimes up to a thousand per day which includes full bus runs.:88:

    Just came across this picture of a B-Boy outside Faneuil Hall in Boston. Notice the guy in the background wearing the hoops from 1999-2001.

    Was in Sao Paulo and Rio for World Cup in '14 and they have some great graffiti and some were near the top of really high buildings that defy logical safety to tag there, I bought a book on it when I got back and will post some photos from it when I get home in next few days. The Banksy stuff is really thought provoking art and and though the prices his art commands doesn't sit right with me when compared to contemporary art it's a bargain

    Some amazing graffiti in South America. The artists have such a real vibrant colourful slant to their work. Wouldn’t mind seeing the pics you’ve mentioned.
