"It took me a year to complete,all at night.I used almost 500 liters of paint.It was the biggest illegal graffiti(涂鸦)piece ever.

These are the words of a man named Saber from the United States.Saber is talking about a piece of colourful graffiti that he painted in Los Angeles.Saber did not have permission for this painting.It was on city property.Was the graffiti a piece of art?Or was Saber a criminal because he painted it illegally?

Abdal Ullah,a councilor in London,told TIMES magazine,"Graffiti is a crime.It ruins the environment.It makes our neighborhoods feel less safe.And it costs thousands of pounds each year to clean."

Graffiti artists often use high technology paint.This is hard to remove or paint over.Large cities spend millions of.dollars a year to remove graffiti.Graffiti is also often done in places where other criminal behaviour takes place, including violence and the use of illegal drugs.

Some people say that some kinds of graffiti can be considered art.Saber from Los Angeles said,"My painting shows 22 years of intense art making.And I think art is the number one goal for myself.Graffiti is the way I learn.Art gets a bad name because it is considered something only for a few people in society.It is seen as something only a rich or highly educated person can understand.And that is not true.Every single child in the world drew a picture once and had that excitement."

Luckily,there is a group called Writerz Blok in San Diego,California.They set up 12 walls where people can legally paint graffiti.Marcus Tufono,who works at Writerz Blok,explains,"Our goal is to move the illegal graffiti to a legal wall,and then put it on a computer screen and some software,so hat they can take their art and use it around the community.Then graffiti artists have a chance to succeed through their art."
