Basquiat, who's paintings are some of the most valuable, started off as a graffiti artist. One of my favourite artists, Kaws, started off as a graffiti artist. In fact a lot of companies liked Kaws' vandalism of their ads.

One of my fraternity brothers has an album full of pictures of all the places he travelled in the world and did some graffiti. It is so cool.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't like graffiti, but I also think we should "enforce" the law so that not every part of the city gets plastered in graffiti. I think the appeal of seeing graffiti in grungy, underground places is a lot more authentic.
