'If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain'Try a bit of Google research. I'm sure you will find links to various other relevant links, webpages, and websites herehttp://www.google.co.uk/images?q=leeds+grafitt ... 03&bih=516

I am an utter loss .......... what is great about any graffiti?Once in a blue moon, graffiti artists produce a "work" of some note and interest ........... but 99.9999% of graffiti is nothing more than a poisionous expensive and ugly blight on communities, industry and infrastructure!

Take a look at thishttp://www.dailycognition.com/index.php/2008/1 ... ti.htmlI'm dead against the wilful scrawling and defacing of places myself. But in certain situations, and places some of it can be very talented. But it does all depend on how, where and why it is done.
