30 Great Examples of Graffiti Writing and Graffiti Street Art
Graffiti writing dates back many centuries, even back to Roman times when art work was scratched in and painted on to walls. In modern time graffiti writing and graffiti street art became much more than just decoration. Graffiti writing became an outlet for political activists to express themselves and also as a way for every day people and artists to express themselves.
It turned decrepit walls into beautiful pieces of artwork and quickly ingrained itself in many subcultures, eventually becoming a world wide art form. Many modern artists have roots in graffiti and the art form has worked its way into many other areas such as graphic design and digital photography.
Graffiti writing and graffiti street art have become one of the most popular subjects for photographers to shoot, as seen below in these 30 great examples.

Wow I usually don’t like graffiti, but this is pretty good. Same comment as PinkPetrol: no Banksy?
Gino - May 22nd, 2008
Hey I’m glad you all liked this inspiration post!
Kaiserlino – Yeah its hard to pinpoint a lot of the authors
Mirko and PinkPetrol – Yeah Banksy is amazing, but I wasn’t really looking for famous people per say, I was just randomly browsing around for stuff that really caught my eye. I just didn’t happen to stumble across any of his work. Maybe in the next post I will include some, because it is great!

These are such cool photos. If you are into Urban art and Graffiti you should check out Alexander Austin. He is slowly making a name for himself in KC doing huge wall murals on the side of buildings. The Pitch actually just did a cool article about him, kind of a rags to riches story. Check it out at http://www.pitch.com.
