Beauty is in the eye of the spraycanholder?

Yeah, that was a bit of a reach but a clever title is always important to a blog article. I think I learnt that from Sesame Street. It's really very late.

Friday's show contains a report on the changing public attitude towards graffiti; an art form that is being increasingly celebrated and encouraged by public bodies and by some private businesses. The dividing line between art and vandalism is yet to be defined however, though not for lack of trying on the part of our talented interviewee and patient vox pop targets. Below, we've assembled a smörgåsbord of graffiti (yes I did visit Wikipedia for the correct smörgåspelling) to be judged. Art or vandalism? It's over to you.
