What’s this all about?

Streetsy is a place where people in the street-art and graffiti world post pictures and videos.  Artists post their recent work, and fans post stuff they’ve seen and liked and want to share with others.  We also have a popular group on Flickr with around 400,000 images, and a graffiti statistics site, called GrafRank.  The site is run by Jake Dobkin, a graffiti photographer.  

Wait- what exactly is street art?

Street art is art created in public places, often without permission. Street art is made in a number of mediums, including stencils, stickers, posters, paint, and sculpture. In mathematical, political, criminal, and philosophical terms, streetart is a subset of graffiti.
