I found this graffiti in downtown Newnan on the side of a pawn shop. I chose this piece because it looks more like art rather than a tag. He has a sad face with cutting eyes, and it makes me wonder where this guy is from, or if the artist just made him up. Along with the picture is a saying that interests even more, "when silence was golden." There is also a RIP on the bottom, so this must have been done in memory of someone. Graffiti is most certainly art, and anyone that disagrees has not seen real graffiti. With newer generations coming up, graffiti is becoming more accepted throughout the world. Graffiti is an artistic form of expression that is here to stay.
