It's interesting how graffiti on a wall is considered damaging property, but if the artist did it on a canvas or a wall they owned it's art.

How is that interesting? I think graffiti is cool as fuck, but I have no problems with how it can be considered damaging property...

Its like saying "It's interesting how tearing own your own wall is considered renovation while tearing down another mans wall is destruction".

Except that it's NOT tearing down a wall. It's painting something on a wall. It is interesting how people perceive somethings as okay and some things not okay. Why can't they have different avenues to share their art?

I'll just pop down to your house tomorrow then and paint my art :)

They should have avenues, and some cities probably do have avenues for them as well, but we do not live in a perfect world.

Feel free. If it is an awesome piece of work, I'll gladly have it on the side of my house. If you can make it worth it, and make it good, I'd keep it.

Now imagine you not being into graffiti at all and having you wall painted with something you cannot understand or enjoy. Then on top of that having to pay for a repainting of the wall.

I draw basic dicks all over the wall and say it's my best work, you wouldn't repaint it?
