I am a 20 year since retired graffiti artist. Now as a business & home owner, I have been on both sides of the issue of criminal graffiti. I believe that there is a solution to the problem and that it is possible to prevent criminal graffiti with community involvement and developing a "legal" means to encourage public art.
I don't pretend to be an expert, but I do have first hand experience and have observed graffiti activities for decades.
I have created my blog to demonstrate the benefit of public art and to produce ideas or solutions that may help to remove illegal graffiti quickly and to provide a program that would turn potential illegal vandals into creative, productive, and contributing members of society BEFORE illigal graffiti hits the walls.
This is only a possible solution, so your input is valued wether you are a concerned citizen, or consider yourself as a graffiti artist.
