Graffiti is nothing more than putting your art on places other than paper!.
So, Sharpie-ing your name on a wall, is graffiti!.

Just search for graffiti online, and look at other people work!.
Be inspired!.

Congratulations for feeding your artistic curiosity!

You can graffiti with spray paint, markers and paper cutouts with wheat paste!. I'm not sure if I missed anything

You can go to a department store or a hardware store and get those things above!. You'll have to go to a grocery store to get wheat and make paste out of it though if you chose to do cut outs!.

If you can't draw, practice!.

If you can't paint with a spray paint can, practice cause it's not easy!
You could always make stencils and just spray paint them directly on almost any surface and will almost always look really amazing!.

Plan what you want your message or image to be!.

Find a good spot and do it when no ones looking if you can!.

Then you can start thinking about your next piece!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

graffiti or vandalism!? graffiti can be beautiful and respectful as long as it isn't vandalism!. when you graffiti over something that isn't yours, you're pretty much taking someone elses hard work or even their masterpiece and just spitting on it!. so think twice whether you're trying to look cool or to create artwork!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would study a couple of art books that I know you can find in any Arts section of Borders, etc!. Graffiti can be beautiful if done properly!. You need to understand the aesthetic before going straight in!. If done wrong it just looks silly!.

Make sure you have permission before spray painting anything!. You can get hit with a misdemeanor!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
