Street Art for Sloths: An Easy Short List Long on Hard Info

Street art is not something they teach in school.


It seems, then, that the best ways to approach this discipline are (1) trial and error, and (2) learning from people with experience. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? But wait, isn’t street art or graffiti or whatever you want to call it illegal? And what if you don’t live in NYC or London or Paris?

So for those who’d rather be out bombing, I’ve compiled a list of sites to get you started.
