I don't know where you are trying to go with that question but you can walk that way over there with it buddy. I just happen to have had a real intense life with a lot of stress. Painting hapens to be my outlet unfortunately. I've quit painting illegal pieces here so lets relax people and focus on big ish instead of crying over who's paiinting.

You showed up here. It's our space. You can walk away.
Here's and idea. Stop putting your graffiti on areas that don't belong to you. Someone is actually paying for that stuff. My guess is you definitely aren't and could care less about what someone else works so hard for. It's selfish and disrespectful. You aren't the only one with problems. Adapt.

I respect your opinion for sure.
My guess is opinion, but it's a fact that someone pays for it and doesn't want it defaced. I've had my property defaced before. If it's not yours don't paint on it without permission. Not beating you up, but you know it's not right.
I appreciate art and even enjoy graffiti art, but I *do not support any defacing of someone else's property.* If painting is your outlet, buy material that you can paint in or set up a studio that you can paint large pieces in. Either that or visit places that have legal graffiti walls (a lot of colleges have these around) and do it there.
Everyone has stress they need to relieve, but that is never an excuse for defacing something that someone else owns and causing them to spend money to fix it.
It is crucial that this stuff be cleaned off as soon as possible. Vandals get their thrills from seeing their work and having others see it. When it is immediately removed, their work goes in vain and it frustrates them.
Here, in Las Vegas, $30 million is spent every year "cleaning up" graffiti.
The problem: the clean-up crew goes around the city with whatever paint they have that day, no matter what color, and paint over it.
Go drive around this city, with our hundreds of miles of cinder block walls, and see the results!
A beige-colored wall with splotches of grey, light blue, white, different shades of beige!
There's a grey wall across from my house, tagged many times, "cleaned-up" several times, and the results? Now after all these "clean-ups" it would have been best to leave the tagging in the first place!
What color of cover-up will they use next time? Pink? Green? I'm tempted to go over there some day, with a 5-gallon jug of paint, and paint it all one color!

I would prefer a hundred beige-splotches-over-grey-concrete spots to a single ugly name spraypainted on a bridge. There is nothing uglier than graffiti.
Of course, it would be better to powerwash the paint off or paint it over in the proper color. The piece of graffiti on the side of 385 that I first mentioned in this thread was cleaned off and looks like it was never there. So, it looks like whoever is responsible for that knows what they are doing and cares enough to do it right.
