I know it's graffiti, but every time I spot a new one I smile. It's not some samey illegible tag, or some depressing or gross art, it's just a cute friendly dinosaur.

That building is on Cook St, at the corner of Cook + Mason. There used to be a tax accountant there, but they've since moved leaving it vacant for a few months now.

That style of graffiti is referred to as a "bomb," btw. Big letters across a larger surface is a "bomb," and small letters on a small space is a "tag."

Isn't there a whole spray-can display cabinet at Opus with appropriately urban fonts?

We have a lot of examples of talented graffiti artists doing incredible things on walls where landlords either hired them to paint something or let them have free reign.
The code of conduct among graffiti artists and "taggers," even, is if someone has painted something respectable on a wall, it's to be left alone until another talented artist, provided enough time has passed, throws up another piece.

Thank you..
Actually, my interest is to know if graffiti is really affecting the city negatively. I came to Victoria five months ago to study at UVIC and I chose to write my research paper about graffiti because I was really chocked; the tags are everywhere and I wanted to know what do the people here think about it.
Thanks to everyone who answered my questionnaire.. I really appreciate it and I look forward to get more responses.
Rawan.
