First, let's review my experience with graffiti.
For anyone from my class reading this, this is the tobacco barn I mentioned. For people, from Lake City, you know what I'm talking about. For everyone else, well, look at it! It's the just the ugliest thing. This is what I grew up knowing as graffiti, and this is the reason why I've always had a bad opinion of it. This side of graffiti is what I don't like. Then, I took this, literally less than a block from my apartment complex:
It's on the back side of a business, and it's just so ugly. I can't even read it and I can't even begin to understand why someone put this here. The most horrible graffiti I saw in Tallahassee, though, was a tag on a sculpture. It's so rude to deface someone else's art with your own. I was offended and it wasn't even mine! The lecture on graffiti was one of the hardest for me, but I did see some things I liked, things that didn't harm the buildings they went up on. That's the stuff I like.
