Most people have the impression that graffiti was started by young vandals trying to “make a statement”, however graffiti has been known to go as far back as 30 000BC. The Ancient Romans and Ancient Greeks, used to scribble on their walls, descriptions of their current day events. Then, in the 1900′s, graffiti in the form of vandalism, started appearing all of the world. With pointless scribbles of “crew” names being tainted all over cities, it’s not surprising that for a long while graffiti had such a negative connotation associated with it.

However, as the years have passed on, a few people have taken graffiti to the next level. Taking it from something that people generally frown at, to something that makes people go WOW! Most people are even going as far as calling graffiti street art. The truth is, that there is a sense of beauty in a lot of the graffiti being created today. Beautiful portraits of people, or abstract art that makes you look twice. A graffiti artist is, essentially, a modern day artist, his choice of canvas is just different, unique and grabs the attention of a myriad of people.

To honour the true graffiti artists, we have found a collection of some of the most stunning, creative graffiti pieces across the world, so join us in being wow-ed over and over again as we unveil our collection.

Graffiti and graffito are from the Italian word graffiato ("scratched").

Some nice work. No 15 (the pig.man) - was that the original, or was it a copy of this? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__kwF9vKRmNg/SGT7JI9daKI/AAAAAAAAEqo/0x6WCksNAY8/s1600-h/j4rs200852014052ast.jpg
Or vice-versa?

Nice collection, but 80% of these are stencils and paste-ups that have nothing to do with graffiti art... :P

This is no graffiti, this is streetart, and that is the mentally defected little son of graffiti and art.

This is art for the people which has no opinion and has no clue what art should be

Some cool graffiti showcased here at PelFusion.com !! Yep... graffiti has gotten a bum rap over the years due to "gang" graffiti and other non artistic types... just "spraying away" without permission !! But through the years in my travels throughout the USA.... I have seen some really great pieces of art... all done with permission from the owners of buildings !! These owners would let young people paint what they wanted... as long as it wasn't "porn"... giving these kids something to do that was creative... dressed up the old buildings... and kept these young artists away from gangs and drugs !! Thanks Pelfusion for this post... and I thank Brukhar for sending this to me !!
