FinishedGraffiti can be defined as “scribbles’ or “doodles” on walls, sidewalks, doors or the sides of trains. Graffiti by nature is a controversy. To some it is mere vandalism, but to others it may be considered an art form. PictureCompete is seeking your best representation of this method of expression.
