"I can see how it looks bad, but it's fun to write your name on things!"

A lively, provocative look at the cop-baiting, spray can Cézanne's of L. A.s seemingly endless suburban sprawl! This engaging, enjoyably roughshod S. O. V documentary highlights the diverse graffiti art, and outlaw creative philosophies of these multifarious, artistically inclined rogues. Maverick Urban artists or thrill-seeking vandals? Their illegal pastime is to covertly spray their art/tags upon city/privately owned properties, frequently provoking an angered public who are not altogether sympathetic to their nocturnal antisocial aerosol antics! Many of the more colourful, imaginative pieces are quite stunning, but much of it seems to be the crude, arbitrary, unsophisticated scrawls of self-absorbed simpletons.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.

From tagging to piecing, this controversial documentary chronicles some of L.A.'s hottest graffitti writers and crews. Shot from a graffitti writers perspective, the question of whether it's art or vandalism is left for you to decide. Segments were featured on NBC News/Today Show. Bronze Apple Award; National Educational Film & Video Festival; 1991. Chicago Underground Film Festival; 1995
