The move by Bristol council in the west of England follows a sell-out Banksy exhibition in the city that attracted 300,000 visitors and boosted the local economy by an estimated 10 million pounds ($17 million). Councilors are expected to formally adopt the policy in coming weeks, breaking ranks with other authorities in Britain that adopt a no-tolerance attitude to graffiti. "The policy we had inherited was basically scrub ... Read Full Story

The difference between art and graffiti is that art is done on property with the permission of the property owner. Art is a creative and productive form of expression.  Graffiti is a crime. To create graffiti, vandals use a variety of materials, such as automotive car paint, spray paint, crayons and permanent ink. Etching surfaces is another way vandals destroy property. The word ‘Graffiti’ refers to images or pictures that are drawn in public places without securing the appropriate permissions. Although most people would associate graffiti with rowdy city youngsters, the truth is that graffiti originated in ancient Greece and Rome. Pictures of graffiti ... Read Full Story

Light graffiti is the art of combining long-exposure photographs with high-intensity light sources waved around in thin air to create an image when the shutter closes. Very cool. Even cooler when you're drawing some seriously spectacular cars. We'll admit to a perverse lust for the Morgan Aero 8 so any time we get to run pics of that car for any reason is a plus, however, the other cars on created in this set aren't too shabby either. They're...

Grafitti Artist Bansky Unmasked

Internationally Acclaimed Grafitti Artists
Making graffiti letters doesn't exactly come easily to everyone. It takes time and practice, but most importantly, it's key for the artist to develop their own style. The only way to do that is to start simple, and work your way up, discovering your style along the way.

Here's a simple tutorial to give you a place to start:

1. Write a word in big letters, maybe a nickname or your own name. Use a big piece of paper, and keep extras handy.

2. Take a thick marker and go over the letters multiple times until they are thick and fat and blend into each other.

3. Place a thin sheet of paper over your letters and trace the outline of the letters.

4. Ta-da, you have some basic bubble letters to get you started.

Obviously this is not a method that can always be used, and it's not the best type of method, but it gives you an idea of how to start. Pay attention to how the letters blend into each other and how they overlap. Also pay attention to local graffiti you find and figure out what style and what types of letters spark your interest.

Develop your basic skills first, then start slowly mimicking the styles you like. Try a variety of different words and letters, eventually you'll get better, just be persistent.
