Depends on the intention. Are you just tagging or trying to create something?
Art is determined by it's social contribution and it's aesthetic value. How it make You feel and think. An ugly mess is just an ugly mess. 8)

Not really. Think of Bosch or Dechampe or Bacon. Disturbing, messy images but thought provoking.

If it's done without consent of the property owner it's definitely vandalism.
I agree, an invasion of privacy also. 8)
Graffiti can be a wonderful display of art and imagination. But to put it on a public building without permission is still vandalism.

Agreed

It can be an awesome work of art but if the owner didn't give permission, it's vandalism one way or another.

It can be both art and vandalism but I think the majority is vandalism.

i went to Athens recently. Many buildings were covered with graffiti as were some cars even. Most of it looked nasty and really ran the city down. Certainly it can be expressive and inspiring (e.g. Banksy) but what I saw in Athens cant be that nice for residents who live there.

A little of both.
I enjoy seeing it and truly appreciate it for the artistic value, but I hate seeing it in inappropriate locations. On man made objects I don't mind so much, but I detest seeing it out in nature.
Its art and i think its beautiful but so not cool to do that on someones property who didnt give you permission to

How can you say, “Its art and i think its beautiful”?
I agree that graffiti can be art and it can be beautiful but most of the graffiti I have seen was neither art nor beautiful. Just like a painting made with a painting brush and on a canvas far from always is art there is no guarantee that using spray paint on a wall result in a piece of art.
@karinaal: i completely disagree in my opinion its art

Bye.
I don't want anyone to impose their " Artwork " on me, something that I will see and have/forced to look at everyday. 8)
They should be shot on site.
