    The title pretty much says it all. It'd be nice to see some graf enthusiasts or artists themselves dump photos of their pieces here.

    Unless you're Banksy, I'd have though this would be an excellent way to get your local police knocking on your door.

    I'm interested in painting everything with omniphobic coating to troll people.



    Does that count?

    Haha no, I was talking more about words than 'art'. I'm from Melbourne and find lads retarded, but I'm interested if anyone who plays PA writes...

    I'm confused.

    Graffiti definition:
    "writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place."

    You're asking for photos of what, exactly?

    Melbourne is somewhat famous for its street art. You can even get tours.

    photos of precisely that. It's not like you have to say its yours or not, theyre just going to be photos of what you find cool in your area. I'm interested whats going on in different cities globally.

    Oh - you confused me when you asked for artists to dump their work here, is all - I thought you were just looking for 'in the style of'.

    Have to say I'm not a big fan of graffiti myself - 'street art' (i.e. graffiti with permission) is one thing, but clearing up unwanted spray paint costs councils far too much IMO. My local council is currently turning off street lights at midnight to try and save money - which I'm not a fan of.

    It's ok, unlike the NSA, ASIO doesn't really care unless it's actually serious.



    I guess solar panels and batteries are a completely alien concept to your council.

    The only graffiti which I can recall were only two words on a wall, roughly translated: "Just painted?"
    Pretty mean but tbh I had to smile... xD

    Here's something I pass by almost every day. The face is cool, but I enjoy that green piece on the side a lot more. Unfortunately, can't find a decent picture of it online.

    I guess it wouldn't really count as graffiti though, since those artists most likely got permission

    We have some neat pieces here in my town under some bridges but nothing worth sharing.
