It is my personal opinion that graffiti definitely IS art – and, people of Melbourne are realizing it. I can’t say that I approve of destroying other people’s property (which graffiti often does), but I could name you a few buildings that would look much better with a layer of spray paint, thrown on by some young, talented graffiti artist.

Apparently, you haven’t seen graffiti til you’ve been to Melbourne. In fact, graffiti is such an important part of Melbourne’s landscape that it is being considered for a national heritage listing. I look forward to seeing them in person, but for now, here are some cool ones I found.
