" Graffiti Art, is Art first! "Graffiti" in itself is a label applied to the Aerosol Art Culture,
and usually carries the negative connotation that Graffiti Art is not a viable Art Form.
However, to define Graffiti or Aerosol Art as scribbling or scrawling on a wall, or for an artist to let his tool dictates his or her style of work, is detrimental to the idea of being an artist in this Art Form. I'm an artist, that's all! My medium of choice for the past fifteen years has been spray paint, though I can rock with markers, watercolors, pen, pencil, acrylics, airbrush, or on a computer, whatever. " -SANO, Graffiti Artist / Instructor GV4
"Graffiti found typically, but not exclusively on the walls of our urban cities, clearly unveils the angst driven drama that exists within the psyche of the Graffiti Writer, as well as, in our conflicted egocentric society. Graffiti dares to show us what we've become !! For many people this is a very difficult reality to come to grips with, especially if you're in denial of any complicity!
Graffiti Art mirrors the best and worst elements of our society, period. Folks are ignorant about Graffiti Arts’ history and power. Graffiti Art is a direct expression of societies' psychological state of mind , it's an 'in-your-face' sign of our times and deserves our understanding and respect! "
