Graffiti Artists Gaining a Positive Reputation

Many street graffiti artists are very talented, and that talent is being publicly acknowledged - just look at how many people buy Banksy prints for their own home, as an example.
Many have been doing it for so long they become extremely skilled. I have seen graffiti in strange places, from electrical boxes and car bumpers, to public bathrooms and bus seats. Some artists carry a stencil around and tag everything they see. I have seen some of the most gorgeous works of art, sprayed on the sides of railroad cars. Although to me, it is hard to tell where it came from. There is a man on Flickr that has a collection of photographs of different styles of graffiti. I also read an article that explained certain styles of rail taggers . And there is this person who thinks he is an expert on rail graffiti. The “expert” claims he can tell who the tagger is and what area of the country the work came from. Now, that is pretty amazing!
