Graffiti-ers and Gen-Y

I found an entire site, MelbourneGraffiti.com, dedicated to works of graffiti. Whether it'd be on old abandoned trains, new ones, subway tunnels, CBD shopping central brick walls or just in an alleyway side street, they've all be acknowledged and praised in a way or another.

Some of the interviews all reiterate the same story of the artist.
- they start of just following older kids when they were in school as a form of tagging. they become incorporated into a group of kids they do the same - a crew. and then it grows into a hobby, and now a profession which is highly acknowledged in the graphics or art community.

Another interesting site - Ypulse
It's a really vague, basic but quite helpful in just reading on what writers and people in general say about our generation - in allll aspects!
