Despite the number of negative purposes graffiti may serve and how the law tends to treat artists who make graffiti, this form of public art is still very interesting and can effectively disturb the "plain-ness" of a large, blanks wall or other structure into a mural. Graffiti styles vary from area to area, and graffiti itself is most often found in large cities. Often times the messages of graffiti are either gang related or reflect on the challenges an area poses upon its inhabitants. In other cases, some people just get crazy with a spray can and start making all sorts of cryptic looking symbols and images.I myself have encountered a very large amount of graffiti in Atlanta, most of it coats older buildings, bridges and retainment walls (going towards Little Five Points, graffiti becomes much more common).
