While graffiti artists are considered criminals, they do create some beautiful works of art. Philadelphia wouldn’t be a city if their brick walls and tunnels weren’t plastered with this unconventional art form. Here are some artists who live for doing “throws” –the term used by graffiti artists to describe their art form.

The only thing I don’t understand is when are they doing all this work? Are they doing it at night so they don’t get caught, and if so how can they see and create so much detail? Some of these works must take hours. Graffiti is probably one of the most expressive forms of art, and they really represent urban culture in Philadelphia.
