When it comes to art everybody has a different opinion is what good art is, what great art is, and what just plain bad is. Unfortunately, for some art, those boundaries keep changing. Take a look at graffiti. There was a time when all graffiti was just an ugly mess made by disenfranchised youth…..or bums with nothing better to do we would hear said. Yet some of those graffiti spray painting bums escaped arrest and ended up being asked to pain murals in their city. Suddenly, pop culture had turned what was once considered only garbage into an art form.

Truth is, some graffiti is still nothing but displays of angst from angry teens, but some of it is…..well, it is really good! And it has gone mainstream. You don't have to have kids in your home to see 'graffiti art' everywhere. It is on t-shirts, skate boards, school bags, book covers, bill boards…..it is everywhere.
