Good Graffiti?

So I found this truck after we visited the 9/11 memorial and it really struck me because of how integrated I feel the graffiti is to the truck. In a way, the graffiti gives the truck character, keeping it from being any normal, run-of-the–mill moving truck. In my opinion, even though graffiti is commonly viewed as a public nuisance, in my opinion, it works in certain contexts. In this context, for example, the graffiti makes the truck much more aesthetically pleasing than seeing a plain white truck (what I’m sure the truck was before the tagging). On the subway, however, I would have to agree that it is a form of vandalism. New York is all about giving others equal opportunities, and graffiti is a prime example of artists showcasing their abilities without limits. A graffiti artist can exhibit his artwork without recognition and can virtually show his art anywhere.
