  • Violent AEK Athens FC graffiti on a wall in the area of Exarhia. Exarcheia, alternatively spelled as Exarchia, Exarheia and Exarhia, is the name of a neighborhood in downtown Athens, Greece close to the historical building of the National Technical University of Athens. The Exarcheia region is famous as a stomping ground for Greek anarchists. It took the name from a merchant named Exarchos who opened a large general store there. Now this graffiti covered area is known as a home for students and members of the anarchist movement and a kind of no go area for tourists. Visitors to Athens can't help but notice the amount of graffiti in the city. Any surface that can be sprayed upon is covered with a maddening number of signatures and designs. Beautifully restored neo-classic houses from the late 19th Century usually have a few days or weeks before they are covered in graffiti and owners find themselves in a war that they eventually lose and surrender to the kids. Graffiti in Athens is as old as the city itself. In ancient times graffiti was carved into buildings, in fact the word comes from the Greek graphi which means to write. The most disturbing aspect of the graffiti besides the volume of it, is the way some of the kids whose artistic ability begins and ends with their names (tags), have defaced some of the real works of art. Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. It dominates the Attica periphery and is one of the world's oldest cities, as its recorded history spans around 3,400 years. Classical Athens was a powerful city-state. A centre for the arts, learning and philosophy.

  • Viewed from a low angle, an unidentified youth is seen spraying graffiti art on to a wall in the Notting Hill area of West London, England. We see his partially-obscured face lit from behind with a strong amount of flash which throws a well-defined shadow of his hand holding a spray can. It is a chilly night and the boy's breath is seen against the frosty night air. His graffiti art has taken him some hours to spray on this white wall and shows a glossy finish. The picture is anonymous because of the young man's face is unseen and generic, because we don't see where the wall might be located.

  • Seen from behind, two young boys are busy writing their graffiti tags on windows on a London underground tube train, during an overland section of the capital’s rail system near Ladbroke Grove. Armed with heavy-duty semi-permanent marker pens, they lads are committing the crime of defacement and criminal damage to London Underground property, a persistent problem that costs the transport company network up to £3 million a year to remove. Partitions and glass are being scribbled on with their unique identity signatures used by kids of this age to leave as a mark of their presence, like animals instinctively leave a scent on a street corner. If caught, juvenile delinquents like these may escape with only a caution because of their age but older ones are prosecuted, though some times after leaving many thousands of tags across their neighbourhood.
