(Перевод на русский язык)

Граффити раньше считалось чем-то неправильным. Нам не разрешалось это делать, потому что это портило здания и другие общественные места. Но теперь некоторые люди настолько хороши в этом, что стали известны как граффити-художники. Пит Джонсон – один из этих художников.

«Я начал заниматься граффити на стенах и на улицах только после того, как уже начал работать на бумаге. Я всегда любил рисовать и всегда хорошо справлялся с этим. Однако быть граффити-художником – это больше, чем просто рисование или живопись. Это образ жизни – то, как я одеваюсь, люди, с которыми я общаюсь, то, как я вижу мир. Граффити-искусство – это всё это. Как и многие граффити-художники, я никогда не ожидал, что меня попросят показать свои работы. Некоторые друзья-художники и я участвовали в том, что известно как легальное граффити – граффити-искусство в общественных местах, которое не является незаконным. Мы нарисовали очень большие картины на стенах старых зданий в городе – зданий, которые действительно должны быть снесены. Люди часто говорят нам, насколько красивой стала территория или здание благодаря нашему искусству. Они хотят видеть больше этого в их городе. Некоторые граффити-художники, такие как британский художник Бэнкси, устраивали огромные выставки на парковках и на стенах зданий. Граффити-искусство перестало быть плохим словом. Оно, наконец, было признано».
