As a photographer I can see beauty in many things and been lucky enough to have captured some of the most amazing street art from across the world. Now I’m sure these artists would have taken a while to perfect their art but I am sure they didn’t tag someone’s car with an spray can

I have noticed quite an increase in what can only be described as vandalism on the Gold Coast recently. So called street artists writing a tag over people’s properties, street signs and even cars is a pathetic attempt to call yourself an artist. Should the councils provide more ‘free public walls‘ for people to showcase themselves? I believe so! If someone tags my car I most certainly wouldn’t be giving the tagger a warning. So, should the police fine vandals an higher price if they’re caught?

One thing is for sure, these so called ’street artists’ should have a look at some of the graffiti I have photographed below for a few lessons.
