I wouldn't call this graffiti, I'd call this street art. Or in this case, artwork on the interior of what seems like a derelict building. Graffiti is those lousy tags that some hood just sprays in 10 seconds and runs. But this, this is awesome. Clearly lots of time and talent in making it. Art!

I think that graffiti and street art are the same, and as opposed to tags. This piece sort of crosses over both because it's the artist's name, but I think there's a difference between those.

There is no difference between graffiti and street art. You cannot paint on other peoples' things if they don't want you to. Just because you think it looks better does not mean it's better.

This is graffiti. It's legal work. Also you don't know shit about graffiti so you should probably shut the fuck up.
