Although “graffiti” is considered a serious crime by the system, if it makes us think deeper, and if it makes the world a bit more interesting and exciting, then why not recognize it for what it truly is — Art.

Personally, I love this type of creative expression. It helps lift people’s moods and minds, and encourages us to think outside the box of our ordinary mundane daily routines. It reminds us to ask questions about the society and world we live in.

With that said, I decided to collect some of the best street art I could find from around the web.

Enjoy!
