Graffiti is too often equated with vandalism, because graffiti art is actually an art that is purposefully placed in a space. But like elsewhere, this is also used for bad purposes, for discrediting, for destroying property, etc. And since the media emphasize this side more than the artistic side, public opinion is what it is. But it must be admitted, even if graffiti is not a work of art, it can be a fun urban addition in the form of vandalism.

And look at it, the thing works! Things have moved on. If someone were to undertake this in our country, they would be fully employed, since as much as 60 percent of the roads in Slovenia are in bad or even very bad condition. Punch holes, etc. so there is plenty. Now it just takes someone else with the "eggs" to do it like Wanksy did.
