Graffiti Art

I know to a lot of people out there graffiti is not something to be encouraged and to tell you the truth some of it is pretty lame but then there are pictures like this...







these are the murals that I think are cool and they're actually quite detailed.... I found these pics on the internet, I think that they're amazing
what do you think?

Introducting....

What's in a name?
Is mine that important?
Is it worth remembering?
Or is it just another label to add,
To the ever growing list?
Fat, lazy, selfish,
Condescending tagging,
With undeserving lies,

I am who God made me,
So why should I listen to this?
Accept me for who I am,
As an artist, daughter, friend,
Niece, cousin,
A person with hopes and dreams,
Yet the lies of a jealous world,
Tell me that all I dream to be,
Is too far fetched,
Just a pipe dream,
An apparition,
Never meant to be,

My name,
You may not remember
It is my one and only label
Child of God
Now and forever

Now after all that I suppose that your going to think that I'm going to contradict myself, which I probably will from time to time. options change... anyway My name is Erin, I'm Australian and love anything to do with books (fiction mainly fantasy and sci-fi) to painting pictures, and sometimes they end up quite abstract... I'm an amateur, not necessarily a beginner since I've been drawing since i was ...well old enough to hold a pen, played piano since i was seven , poetry about 12.... I love music and will probably post stuff about my favorite musicians, sometime review Cds and whatnot's that i think are kinda cool :)
