While making my way around Europe, I was impressed by some of the graf work that has been done in some of the countries I’ve visited. I find it to be one of the more unappreciated forms of hip hop artistry that there is.

This is a work in progress, but check it out. If you got some nice Tag work, send it to us!

I love these bold, engaging shots. Read a NYTimes piece about a book that explores graffiti is an art form. The author, Gregory Snyder says:

“You don’t need money, or special knowledge, or the right outfit, or a car, or an ID to see it. This is why the graffiti subculture has inspired such a diversity of young people.”

Do you agree? Would love to find out if the graffiti you saw in Europe was very different from that found in the US.
