CrystleClear: thanks jawsh!! this category is totally my style, i live i brooklyn ny - theres inspirational graffiti everywhere and some of it is remarkable! i dont like street graffiti, so i came up with this idea to see where else there is some awesome graffiti / murals!

kyricom: Hrmmmmm... we had some graffiti on a barn around here once... but they misspelled their insult ( 5 years and 3152 days ago )
jawshoewhah: I have so much pro graffiti to choose from, it's going to take hours to decide. Salt Lake City is such an oppressively religious town, it really makes for a great great graffiti murals. ( 5 years and 3152 days ago )
friiskiwi: What is graffiti? Something painted illegally on a wall? or anything painted on a wall.
Please Mods, give us a ruling. ( 5 years and 3151 days ago )

rbsgrl: PXL, You can't provide the artist's name on illegal artwork. It's not like they sign it with their name. ( 5 years and 3151 days ago )
MnMCarta: Well this is what I found on it... " for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings."
And I took it as there r legal and illegal types but this contest said "graffiti pros" so I took it as legal artistic graffiti as opposed to the types that the ghetto put all over stuff that doesn't look like anything but a mess. But that's just me ( 5 years and 3150 days ago )
rbsgrl: LOL MnM!! ( 5 years and 3149 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Actually in the case of illegal artwork, you'll find that their name IS the artwork. At least, that's the way it is in SLC. Every tagger decorates his name.
( 5 years and 3149 days ago )
rbsgrl: That's true Josh, still makes it impossible to give them "credit" for their work as suggested though. ( 5 years and 3148 days ago )
Contest Moderator: As long as it is professional looking artwork painted on a wall it will be considered on topic. ( 5 years and 3148 days ago )

The spirit of a mystery artist known only as Urban Cake Lady, who has attracted a cult-following in Melbourne, has now etched a presence in …….
River Critters – in the form of Red Riding Hood placing a calming hand on a wild cat while caressing the nose of a timid hare-like creature – has appeared on a footbridge along the Maitai's Riverside Drive.
The piece of street art, described by urban art movement promoter George Shaw as "just awesome", is signed by the Urban Cake Lady.
