"Graf is Graf. If u want to make art, be an artist. Don't confuse that!! Art can be inspired by Graff but it ain't Graff-Simple!!
AND KEEP IT REAL, DAMMIT !!"

"We "vandalize" to get noticed, that's why it works.  It's just something that I do to keep my flame going-Keep me on my toes and get those one of a kind rushes flowin' in my veins.  I never got--in my life but I don't need sh*t, I got my Krylon. Graffiti shouldn't be taught in school because that beats the point...well sh*t, graffiti! "

"Graffiti can't be taught in school because all the haters if it was taught in school would be Rockin' and terrorizing wit style.  Of course G-Artists like us would say its art but not like others who hate.  We are trying hardest 2 keep this culture alive, allot don't appreciate it."

"Because it's Graffiti doesn't mean that its not Art.  When I do Graffiti I do it on paper or buildings but I feel like my Graffiti is a expression of all the built-up hatred."
DJ H*E*A*T

"Who said illegal "vandalism" can't be Art. To get my emotions out like Poetry, writing a book or some other form of Art.  Check it GraffArt is Art.  If U wanna debate email me I'll change ur mind even if ur a close-minded fool who can't see it as Art."

"I write to express myself, to get the natural high (adrenalin) for fame, because I love to do it.  I love the culture. Graffiti is Art depending on how you express it.  Crossing crews out is vandalism."

"I write cuz that's what I do!"

"Some writers talk better through their Art than through their mouths."

"...don't care about da protesters b cus you know where they can stik their views about Graffiti !!!  Graffiti is a form of communication 4 da artist out there.  It shows their feelings on walls like an artist paints on canvas i.e.: Van Gogh ! If u think Graffiti is a mess on walls, well look at Jackson Pollock's work (no wot I mean).

"Graffiti is one of the only ways to properly express yourself and I have so much respect 4 all u artists."

"I do all kinds of writin'.  I like doin' blockbustas mostly.  I think Graffing is a misunderstood Art form.  My dream is to find the perfect wall and to be paid to do a huge mural on it and without any problems."
Winz Oner

"I write cause I love it! I can express myself in any manner I want basically.  Writing is an outlet for me."
Chuck Cost

"I write cause writings dope and that its all about getting known by all them writers.  Its all about getting up and staying up.  So all u writers who read this. 'Stay up.'  "

"Yo I think Graf is the Sh*t.  However all ya bombers that bomb in school are considered -------herbs.  So please when you go bombing, go alone or with someone else no more.  2 people is good, 3 is a crew, got it! And another thing, don't ever and I mean ever carry a book bag when u going street bombing...only on the tracks."
Skep Oner

"Well actually I'm from a krew so I have a couple of different reasons why I do it.  I write so my krew can be up and people will be able to know who we are and sometimes for fun...but mostly when I do it, I do it just to be known."
Melissa

"Graffiti is Art but it can be a positive or a negative thing! This is our own little world away from society.  Graffiti is a way of life for me.  Don't take that away...or I have nothing ! True we are no Van Gogh's or Picasso's but we express ourselves just the way they do.  For some writers they do it for Art and some will do it for the stupidity and destruction of private property...which makes us Graf Artists look bad in society.  That's one of the reason's why Graf won't be acknowledged in society...because of ignorant people."

"Graffiti Rocks! No doubt about it. I do it cuz its a cool way of expressin' urself."

"Well...when I started writin' way back in '83, when I was brand new in Europe...I was a lonely, lonely kid.  Overnight I was a sub-culture hero!  I think young kids get a real sense of self when they start to write.  When you're the talk of the town...you are somebody.  You exist!"
Che' L'ecossais

"Blah blah blah...People don't understand that Graf Art is changing.  It's not just those underground heads in big cities doing this.  Now that middle class suburban white kids are painting in their back yards (and their sh*t looks phat.) Graff isn't some underground culture anymore (just like MTV made music a trend).  This art-form is the next trend.  So...what do you do about this? Who fu*kin' cares? Just keep doin the stuff that comes out of your mind.  Try to be original.  If you are constantly original, then a trend cannot be formed."
Cebzer-Opst

"I think that Graffiti is a form of art that can be mastered if you know how to do it.  It does not really have to be vandalism!  If you don't offend anyone or anything, I like it and think that you should keep it up."
Urban Elmo

"I enjoy photographing' my hometown grafs.  The grafs are the colonized and governed peoples word.  Since we have no other voice/medium...graffiti is killah important."

"I write because it gives me a chance to express myself and I think Graffiti is great and I'm planning to stay with it."

"Graffiti is not meant to be taught; it's a natural occurrence."
Cans One

"If Art can be taught in school, so can Graffiti....As a girl I do Graffiti to bring yourself up, to be known as a good writer.  But for the most part, I love Art.  I have a very creative sense and I do it for fun.  I enjoy writing."

"I write my tag "Fixation" because that's a key element in my life and in the life of all those who succeed in realizing their goals.  If I want to be something, I fixate on it and become that!  I learn through that intensity."
Dawn

"I obviously feel that Graffiti is and should be a legal form of self expression and Art.  I also think that people should open their minds more and learn about the hip-hop culture and Graffiti before they criticize."

"We are artists, not vandals or criminals!"

"People have their views on Graffiti but it lives in silence.  It grows in darkness. It redefines itself and shows me there's more to life than we all think we know."
