26 Pieces of Graffiti in Missouri So Brilliant They Should Be in a Museum

Graffiti...it's nothing new.  People have been making art on walls since ancient times.  Whether you feel that graffiti is artistic expression or a crime, you have to admit these images of graffiti are at least interesting.  Mostly seen in bigger cities (which is why most of the pictures here are from Kansas City and St Louis), you can occasionally find it in smaller locations.  Officially, creating this art without permission from the owner of the property is illegal.  In many cases, the graffiti is painted over.  Thankfully for us, these were caught on camera before that could happen.
