Grafitti is amazing and is real art

To take full advantage of the bank holiday, hubby and I took a couple of extra days off, and had several days out doing the touristy stuff that we never bother to do normally.
After two days meandering around London and sampling the delights of Borough market, we decided to head back to Brighton on the Sunday. We have only moved away from there last year, but are both missing it a lot. So we acted like tourists for the day we walked the Laines, and sat on the beach as the rain came in. Well i am British after all, and it is the summer so i will be damned if the weather will stop us sitting on the beach!! ;-). Then the next day we headed off to Poole, that i consider a 2nd home, and love it so much.
Here are some of the photos from our outings. More to follow shortly.
When in Brighton, I found loads of breath-taking wall art. Now people call it graffiti but i just don't think that is right. because when you hear that you think of someone scrawling a pointless ugly 'tag' onto the wall. but this is art, incredible skilled, bright beautiful art. What is so frustrating is that you have no idea who created it, so you cant let them know how much you loved their work, and look out for new stuff. these guys should be celebrated as the artists they are.
incredible tones and colour
love it!
breath-taking art, that stretched over two buildings. the small chess figures were nearly as big as a person!
this is just amazing stuff!
mods are back in Brighton

so non authorised grafitti is ok then?!
