If you're gonna vandalize something, why not do it in style? Graffiti artists are some of the most talented individuals on the face of the earth.
1.] They typically strike at night, where there is little to no light to work by
2.] They have to work quickly, because the fog and smell the paint produces tends to draw attention
3.] They have to keep every color they need with them, which can be dozens of cans
4.] THEY ARE USING SPRAYPAINT. I'm sorry, but the last time I tried to use spray paint as a medium, I failed miserably. This stuff takes some serious skill to master. These people are getting clean lines AND soft blends all at once. How they do it is news to me
5.] They are risking their final masterpieces to be covered up with other, typically sloppy graffiti.
I have to give the deviants credit here. They have their color theory down, as well as the abilities to layer, blend, and design. Even their obscure font choices are astounding. Half the time I can't even read it, it looks like a foreign alphabet... but that's what makes it truly amazing. The art and design in itself can be appreciated without being able to read the words. Its like psychedelic style on crack.
I actually found these images on a graffiti gallery website. Go figure.
