Though often considered the work of vandals, graffiti is also recognised as a form of urban art. While popular with many young people, it is still illegal to paint on someone else's property without their permission.

Using The Gimp and a computer wall of your own, you can have lots of fun designing and creating your own graffiti, without fear of being caught.

Start by browsing some of the graffiti at Art Crimes  The Writing on the Wall

Use the skills you have learned in The Gimp to create your own graffiti.  You can download some blank walls and get some more ideas from http://www.actden.com/grap_den/clipart/lesson1.htm
