Graffiti (singular: graffito; the plural is used as a mass noun) is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings.

From Wikipedia.

Others might say that graffiti are the ultimate form of street art. However you define the term, and whatever you think about if it’s right or wrong to spray them, they are often quite elaborate and interesting works of art. This gallery has the aim to preserve some of them before they get painted over again.
