Graffiti wasn't always recognized as an art form, nor were its practitioners recognized as artists. What once began as a criminalized and illicit activity is now gaining traction as an art form, and with that comes the inevitable shift to the virtual realm.
Graffiti artist Phetus recently created a spray can app for the iPad, which went on to garner over a million downloads in less than a month, and hit number one in the "entertainment" category on iTunes in numerous countries.
What is it about graffiti that's causing a buzz in the virtual realm? Is it safer to do it online? Has it become more acceptable if it isn't in your face?
Tell us what you think.
